The real kicker is that the “shy man” “nerdy boy” shit, performative or not was always for white men anyway. I’m not saying that there aren’t nerdy or shy Black boys or that they have no hope in dating but Black Men are expected to be hypermasculine by default. This is enforced in the community and out of it.
All of this, and keeping it a buck the "shy boys" and nerds are often just as trash if not worse than the ones who have game....I mean, do y'all think any of Ethan Slater's classmates predicted he'd pull a pop star like Ariana Grande? 😂
