I'd have given the poster the benefit of the doubt but then they come out with hate-inciting nonsense trash like this: https://twitter.com/isislovecruft/status/1487947782585417728

I don't even know what to make of that anymore. Just because it's self-deprecating doesn't make it okay.

...do you feel attacked by the word 'nerd'?

I mean the tweet is putting the blame at the wrong people (it's a business decision after all), but I wouldn't go as far as call it "hate-inciting nonsense". You're not under attack.

I have a problem with the top reply being about bullying.

The twitter poster in question, isislovecruft, has a bit of a volatile persona online. They have been involved in multiple controversies over the years. Not to discredit their work, but they seem to relish in the tech social media spotlight.
