Abstract
What is a Nerdfighter? is a recurring question. Although the term was coined in 2007, and its creator now has top-grossing movies and books on the New York Times best-seller list to his credit, the need to explain what it means to be a Nerdfighter persists. Those explanations occur most prominently in a 2009 Vlogbrothers video and most recently in a 2018 60 Minutes segment on John Green as a popular storyteller. Over and over again in the years in between, John and his brother Hank Green have wryly observed that rather than fighting nerds, Nerdfighters are “ pro-nerd” individuals
