|
A particular genre of movie in which outcasts (geeks, dorks, nerds) are exploited either for humorous purposes i.e. to poke fun at the stereotype or as a vehicle for revenge .
The term was coined on the Babalu Bistro Podcast #3 I love the movies Carrie, Revenge of the Nerds, and Willard. I generally love all nerdsploitation flicks.

the exploitation of nerds by producers of nerd-oriented films, books, or television shows. You know none of the actors or producers of The Big Bang Theory are nerds. That show is nothing but pure nerdsploitation.

noun 1. when an aspect of a game, show, film, or other media is clearly meant to be fulfillment of a nerd fantasy. Compare to blacksploitation, as this often involves nerds doing ridiculously awesome things, i.e., Peter Parker. Examples: -Edward Cullen’s attraction to Bella Swan -The character Fela in the Kingkiller Chronicles -The vast majority of female comic book characters -The vast majority of male comic book characters (however, different kind of fantasy) -Zooey Deschanel doing anything whatsoever I wish nerd movies focused more on feeling both real and being entertaining than taking the cheap shot with mindless nerdsploitation.
