Nerd Lord. In honor of my expired topic, here it goes again, this time for more wub wub...

For starters, he was a complete and utter downer the entire series of movies.

In the first movies he quits on his nerd brothers when the chips are down.. He's ready to walk out until Gilbert steps in and saves the day.

If him quitting wasn't enough he was a rapist. He raped Betty, he overheard her talking to Stan, then uses the knowledge to trick Betty into having sex with her. His deception was rape, just because she enjoyed it, doesn't make it not rape. If she had not enjoyed it, she could have filed charges and gotten him arrested. IT was rape no matter how you slice it.

In the second movie...

He yet again quits on the Nerds when the chips are down, instead of being the leader they needed he quit. He was ready to give up... pfft... Proven to be the worst leader ever.

He cheats on Betty. After winning her over in the first movie (after he rapes her no less) he cheats on her the first chance he gets. He was still dating Betty as evidenced by the photo you see of her early on, and the fact they were married later on in the series.

In the third movie...

Louis totally abandoned his Nerd life style and has gone straight if you would.. He yet again mistreats Betty by allowing Stan to join them in his hot-tub, the whole scene was very telling, with Stan making advances right in front of Louis but him ignoring them and allowing his woman to be totally uncomfortable. I guess it didn't bother him as he was a rapist anyway.

He also yet again quit on his Nerd brothers, before eventually deciding to be their leader yet again...

In the fourth Movie NERDS IN LOVE...

More of Louis quitting on the nerds.

You had me at rapist. Not to mention the illegal spying and taping. Robot Chicken had it correct.

In the kingdom of the blind, you're the village idiot.

he raped Betty, he used information to have sex with her without her consent.. No matter how you slice it, he raped her, her liking the act after the fact doesn't change it from being rape..

As for the spying, well you know, peeping on people is a crime, although that is seen as good humored fun back then, Today it would be a crime punishable by insertion on the sex offenders list..

Wait. ...You were actually able to make it all the way through 3 and 4? You sir, have got patience, and could probably withstand POW torture if you are ever captured. Teach me. Not even John Rambo could do that.

"If him quitting wasn't enough he was a rapist. He raped Betty"

No, he didn't.

"he overheard her talking to Stan, then uses the knowledge to trick Betty into having sex with her."

So?

"His deception was rape"

False, and LOL at your repeated attempts to redefine the word "rape."

"just because she enjoyed it, doesn't make it not rape."

It wasn't rape because it was entirely consensual, obviously. If she didn't bother to confirm the identity of the masked guy that she agreed to engage in sexual activity with, that's her problem. But it wasn't actually a problem for her, was it? When she found out who the masked guy actually was she not only didn't have a problem with it, she was thrilled. So it wasn't rape, by definition, and as a bonus, she was happy about it.

"If she had not enjoyed it, she could have filed charges and gotten him arrested."

No, she couldn't, not if she truthfully/accurately described exactly what happened and the law were written and applied correctly, anyway. Again, she consented. There was nothing preventing her from saying something like, "No, not until you take your mask off so I can see who you really are." She simply chose not to.
