Strictly speaking, the Geek, the nerd, and the Otaku are characters who are sometimes, well, deemed "uncool". But a contrasting trend in modern fiction is to show one of these character types as being downright outspoken. Maybe they missed the memo informing us that geek culture isn't supposed to be uncool, or maybe they think that being geeky is the best way to express your individuality in the face of people. But these are the people who are proud of their geekiness and won't hesitate to flaunt it. In fiction, expect the outpouring of this belief to manifest in the form of an I Am What I Am, or Whoopi Epiphany Speech. In real life, look more to writers and actors being open and honest about the things they do which seem, well, incredibly prideful considering how awesome and cool they are. The perhaps inevitable outcropping of Be Yourself. Considerably overlaps with Nerdcore. The polar opposite is Closet Geek. See also Insufferable Genius for a more negative take, where 'pride' is warped into outright arrogance and condescension towards others. Truth in Television as most geeks are very proud of their status. An older example can be seen here, from Connecticon Cosplay Masquerade 2011. Now fairly common, both in real life and in fiction, due to geek and nerd developing into fairly neutral terms throughout the 2010's— in addition to a increasing mainstream appreciation of nerd culture. Compare Nerds Love Tough Schoolwork. |

Nobunaga Asakura in Haruka Nogizaka's Secret is openly Otaku; he doesn't mind showing off anime figures and magazines, and speaks about them with enthusiasm. As opposed to Haruka herself, who had to be a closet fan due to... things in the past. She may be getting out of it as of late. | |

In Sydney White, the title character, running for student body president, gives a speech that explains how everyone is a dork in their own way. Several people in the crowd then stand up one at a time and explain what makes them a dork. By the end, of course, everyone cheers for Sydney. | |

Chuck. Chuck Bartowski's geekiness is almost always the key to saving the day in any given episode. He once saved the day playing Missile Command for crying out loud. While, if memory serves, Rush was blaring in the background. It gets even better. He saved the day by playing Missile Command in time with a Rush ballad. | |

House. His geek culture references are plenty, and he knows when things should go to eleven. House obsessively follows soap operas, and when he discovers that one of the members of his team does as well, but refuses to ever admit to it in public, he berates him for being ashamed of his position as a geek. | |

The Simpsons: Comic Book Guy is an example of the rising popularity of geekdom. In the eighth Simpsons Halloween special (aired in 1996), just before dying, he sadly realizes he wasted his life. In the 2007 movie, however, when he believes he will die he looks over his collection and happily concludes he had a perfectly worthwhile existence. Lisa Simpson usually follows this trope, though many episodes involve her giving in to peer pressure and trying to act "cool" or otherwise reinventing her social persona. They always end with an Aesop about being yourself, and with Lisa regaining her geek pride. Played with in "Lard of the Dance," where Lisa is pressured to both give up being nerdy and to act like an adult. She ends up making a speech about how she's not ashamed of her geekiness, and that she wants to enjoy being a kid while she still can. Martin Prince is a more straightforward example. Like Lisa, he may wish for popularity, but he'll never give up an ounce of his geekiness to accomplish this. |

Ben Wyatt from Parks and Recreation. His idea of Retail Therapy is to buy himself a full-on Batman costume, makes numerous references to Game of Thrones (to the point that he can speak Dothraki), wrote Star Trek fanfic, and proudly created his own medieval-themed tabletop board game. A frequent Running Gag with him is Tom (a vain, fashion-obsessed hip-hop/R&B listener) will make some kind of geeky insult about Ben, with Ben responding indignantly at being called a geek by giving an even geekier answer. For example, Tom makes an insulting remark that Ben wants to take a Hobbit-themed tour of New Zealand and Ben responds that he did not care for Peter Jackson's film adaptations. | |

Heroes: Hiro Nakamura openly and proudly proclaims his geekiness at nearly every opportunity, regardless of how inappropriate. He is dedicated to being a superhero and cites actual comic books as his guide - he never strays from his mission even when faced down by his disapproving father who clearly sees Hiro's attitude as being, well, kind of shameful. His actor, Masi Oka, based much of Hiro's geekiness on his own. Eagle-eyed viewers will notice that in Hiro's first scene, his desk at work is littered with popular manga figurines. This is at work. Where he's the son of the company's president. Hiro also refers to himself and his comrade as being "on the team of good guys"... this is the source of the utterly incomprehensible English translation issue, where his friend says "We?" in a very querulous tone. Hiro also appears to refer to that sword as if it was Gourry's Sword of Light (aka something uniquely his and a part of him). This also doesn't come through in the English, at all. Among the supplementary materials, Hiro has a blog and he once wrote there that he wants to fight evil like JoJo. |

The cast of Full Frontal Nerdity fits this trope pretty well, as you may expect from the title. Though how much they have to be proud about is debatable; they do fit a fair number of negative nerd/geek stereotypes, and each seems at least somewhat aware of the others' faults in this respect. | |

The Big Bang Theory: Even if the other three male leads are not, Sheldon is proud of his geekiness (or he's just that obtuse). Leonard, as the straight man, is most frequently embarrassed by his geekiness when in the presence of "normal" people. Howard and Raj, while aware of the social awkwardness it can cause, seem quite content with their geekiness. Sheldon simply refuses to be anything else. And even Leonard's had his fair share of proud moments, such as when he declared himself to be "king of the nerds" during a daydreamed date with Penny and outdid Sheldon's glow stick power with his lightsaber (worth noting during that instance Penny had a proud "that's my geek" smirk on her face). |

Hifumi Yamada in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc. Many times characters react awkwardly to how shameless he is in all things fandom-related, and he takes the word "Otaku" (and anything else that might imply it) as a compliment. It's how he got his title as the Super Highschool Level Doujin Author, after all. | |

Lucky Star: Konata certainly doesn't hold reservations about her otaku hobbies. Her father Soujirou doesn't either, but even Konata worries about his Comedic Lolicon tendencies at times. Also Patricia, who's a very enthusiastic Occidental Otaku and works at the same Cosplay Café as Konata. In the Comptiq continuity she downright broadcasts her geekery, to the level Hiyori commented, "Her communication issue is not language per se, but industrial terminology." |

Tomodachi Life: If a player selects the choice "Nerdy" when a Mii randomly asks what kind of friends they hang out with, the Mii will reply with "Nerds are the best!" and then ask if the player is a nerd too. | |

In the Steven Universe episode "When It Rains", Peridot says that while she was not involved with the artificial fusion experiments, she seems really proud of the fact that she took the time to read hundreds of years worth of reports on it. | |

The title characters of Phineas and Ferb and most of their friends, if you think about it; at the very least nobody ever objects to having the title bestowed on them. In "Nerds of a Feather" the only characters who seem embarrassed at their geekiness are Candace (who fears being outed for her love of a childish toy) and Buford, who uses his "bully" label as an excuse for Cosplaying at a sci-fi/fantasy convention: | |

Mr. Fantastic's speech in Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer counts as this. This was, of course, taken word-for-word from an exchange with Nick Fury during the Ultimate Galactus storyline. (But it was much more badass because, among other things, he was saying it to Nick Fury). |

A less sympathetic example is Dwight Schrute of The Office (US), who is obsessed with archaic weapons, Star Wars, and Battlestar Galactica. He created a robotic character named Recyclops as a mascot for recycling, but his geekish tendencies have given Recyclops a bizarre and tragic narrative to the point that Recyclops now seeks vengeance upon the environment. | |

Vin Diesel once related a story about how, during the filming of The Chronicles of Riddick, he and Karl Urban (both D&D fanatics) were discussing games, when out of the blue Judi Dench came along and started a conversation about the campaign she regularly GMs for her grandchildren. Turns out the old broad was as much a D&D geek as the two guys were. And let's face it: A campaign narrated by Dame Judi Dench would be awesome. | |

In Family Matters, Steve Urkel was like this most of the time, except when they wanted to give An Aesop about being happy with who you are. Most of the time, however, he seemingly didn't give a rat's ass that everyone referred to him as a nerd, especially since he was probably the coolest person in the school despite his labeling. His being a complete klutz, however, ruins a lot of the coolness. | |

Eitaro, Professor Stein and Agaliarept in Magician's Academy are three of the most powerful men in the series. They're also huge geeks and demand that the world bow down to their fetishism or else. This combination of power and fanboy madness is a major driving force of the series. | |

Obnoxiously turned inside out on fourth season episode of The West Wing, where a woman wearing a Star Trek pin in the office tells Josh that she wears it because the Starfleet symbol is, to her, a symbol of honor and civic duty, and Josh should commend her for such pride in her job — Josh quickly grinds what would be a nice little speech into the ground by basically saying "it's okay to like Star Trek, but do it in the privacy of your own home". By explicitly comparing her display of a pin to a fetish. (Note that it's apparently fine to be a sports fan in the White House, as several of the leads have sports paraphernalia in their offices.) Way to go, Sorkin. | |

The Powerpuff Girls: In "Buttercup Vs. Math", when Buttercup contemptuously calls Blossom a "nerd", Blossom proudly replies "Thank you!" Subverted in the same episode when the Derby-tantes think that Buttercup has lost her badass cred after being promoted to advanced math. At the end, when Buttercup wins the day with her math skills, the Derby-tantes sadly confess they stink at math and they (as well as Blossom, who blue-screens when she finds out Buttercup is better at math) ask Buttercup for help. |

Negima! Magister Negi Magi: It takes a lot to get her to admit it, but deep down Chisame Hasegawa is proud of her geekiness. Haruna Saotome also qualifies in a big way. The former is actually so proud and comfortable with it that when Negi's party were attacked by Poyo's Lotus-Eater Machine, she was not affected by it. And that is even taking into account that she has been complaining how crazy it has been for a normal girl like her to be thrown into such a crazy world. She wasn't exactly happy about the revelation, though. | |

Captain America: Steve Rogers was at one time a comic book artist (in fact, he actually worked as the penciler for the Captain America comic book published by the in-universe version of Marvel Comics!) In Avenging Spider-Man, Spider-Man, being a proud comic book-loving nerd, thought that it was unbelievably awesome that his hero Cap was not only a genuine superhero but also a comic book artist who got to draw his own comic book about himself, making Steve doubly heroic to Peter. Steve, on the other hand, had become embarrassed about his former career, considering it something of an Old Shame, and he didn't want to talk about it when Peter was eager to discuss Steve's work in comics. This understandably upset Peter that Cap would dismiss comic books so easily, which were something that Peter held dear, and Peter believed that Steve should be proud of his artistic work that inspired so many kids to heroic ideals. But, after thinking about it for a while and seeing how much value Peter saw in his old work, Steve realized that Peter was right, started taking pride in his old comic book work again, and was then willing to talk about it with Peter, who was thrilled to be able to discuss comic books with his hero and friend. | |
