Typically, the term Nerfer is a unisex nickname; the nickname can be used for both male or female fans of Nerf. In recent years, however, with Hasbro's expansion on the female-oriented [[Nerf]] [[Rebelle]] line, certain terms for female Nerfers have come to light such as "Nerfettes". These terms are widely considered to be unofficial, though, and are not accepted by the masses. |
