I've seen a few episodes, I didn't like them. I got this vive that I was being made fun of and didn't really find it funny
The punchline is not the nerdy thing Sheldon said, the punchline is that Sheldon said something nerdy. The target audience has no idea what the fuck he's talking about, because half the time there is no joke and it's random bullshit about star trek, star wars, d&d, or other shit they used to bully kids for in school.
Sometimes there are some genuinely funny nerd jokes, but too few to redeem the show in any capacity. The laugh track every 5 seconds is also insufferable.
Oh and they shit on Wil Wheaton a lot for playing Wesley and I respect that.

Interesting. I was wondering why hating on him became popular. Another example of people being sheep. The best part is how people reconn it to justify their flock behavior. See also: hatred for Nickleback.
Wil is a cool guy and doesn't actually deserve any hate, it's just funny because Wesley is an insufferable little fuck head and at the very least bbt understsnds that.

Both in general, just personally as myself, and as an autistic person:
I fucking despise Sheldon.
He is an inconsiderate asshole.
It is entirely possible to be a high functioning autistic person and not be a complete fucking asshole.
Because Sheldon exists, any time I tell someone I am autistic, he is who I get compared, by default.
The show does a piss poor job of representing a very obviously autism coded character.
He's basically depicted as a sociopath.
Autistic people are not sociopaths.
They do not all have an absurd level of narcissistic self confidence, they more often have pretty darn low self confidence due to their proposensity to fail real world dialogue checks against neurotypical people.
And this troubles them. It makes them frustrated, sad and angry that someone misunderstood them or visa versa, they aren't flippant, cock sure assholes who only see other people as means to and end.
... I fucking hate Sheldon.
The guys are also super misogynistic.
