Fake Geek Girl Detector

''Worried a girl you know might be a fake gamer? A faux geek? A "gurrlll gaaamerrr" rather than a girl who plays video games?
Is there a girl you know that you suspect may only be in to Farmville? Does she not "look like a gamer"? Does she only play (insert games you don't respect here), but not whatever games you think "real" gamers play?
Now here's a helpful test that will let you figure out who is just preying on pop culture, and who is a real nerd!
Obviously, this test is just for those of you who are automatically suspicious of women and girls being fakers, and need them to prove that they are nerdy enough.''

''Here’s the thing though. I don’t think I’d have used the language Tony Harris did, but I used to share his opinion, though targeted at male as well as female cosplayers. And none of this “preying upon people” nonsense. But MCM London Expo changed me as I met cosplayers for extended periods of time and got to know them better. Some knew the original comics, some didn’t – but those who didn’t wanted to find out more. And they were in awe that I actually knew the people behind the originals. And then it hit me. Even if they didn’t care, it didn’t matter.''parle des tweets de Jill Pantozzihttp://www.bleedingcool.com/2012/11/13/hey-quasi-pretty-not-hot-girl-you-are-more-pathetic-than-the-real-nerds-tony-harris/Rich Johnston, 8 Dec 2012On Bleeding Cool, 114 commentaires, ''But this has taken a turn that is disturbing. First of all being attacked SO viciously and repeatedly, with exactly the same kind of name calling and insults that I was being accused of? That was just weird. But then, People started threatening physical violence, like putting a brick to my skull, and asking what my Con schedule was so they could beat me up or throw paint and blood all over me and my Art displayed on the table. As if that were not enough? Now its gone really to the back of beyond. People are asking that I be drummed out of the Comics Industry all together, encouraging others to boycott my work, and then today, sending personal emails to me announcing that petitions have been started, and letter writing campaigns begun to Comic Book Conventions to Ban me for life and NEVER invite me again. ” Taking the bread OFF your table.”''http://www.bleedingcool.com/2012/12/08/tony-harris-returns-to-talk-cosplay/Kate Kotler, 20 Nov 2012''Think about it, in a little over two years that I’ve been writing for Bleeding Cool, I’ve written an outraged article about this exact topicone,two,threetimes… And,onceover on GeekNation just for good measure.'', sur BleedingCool, partages négligeables, 322 commentaires, voir cet article pour articles antérieurs à ce sujet, datant de mai 2011.http://www.bleedingcool.com/2012/11/20/geek-girl-on-the-street-reports-gail-simones-tea-is-only-con-hot/Colleean Doran, 23 Nov 2012An Important Public Service Announcement About Fake Geek Girls: The Emotional Economics of Scarcity, sur Colleen Doran' Distant Soil website, ''Say kids, I've been in this comics business for over 20 years, and I was accused of being a fake geek by men and some very insecure women more times than I can remember, and recently, too.

''As a community, geeks are moving on. And maybe that’s why attacks by sexist bottom feeders are getting worse. The kind of total war harassment campaign that Anita Sarkeesian experienced is becoming more, not less common. Even as the conversation moves forward, with the basic feminist groundwork assumed (yes, women read comics; yes, women game; yes, there is a problem with men complaining about ‘fake’ geek girls), the pushback is getting fiercer.
