No, describing people's reaction as nerdrage is a negative reference to the irrationality of their posts.

Overemotional reactions are hardly new to the world. We just have a new word for baiting people who are upset. The fact that they're upset is somehow evidence that they're nerds.

No, it's evidence that they're raging. That they are nerds is already a known quantity by virtue of the fact that they're posting about a game where you pretend to be an elf.
You know, like you and I are doing now.
