Shout out to all the girls accosted by questions about the logos they display, whose remembrance of plot points was not perfect, who tripped over their own words, and who through no fault of their own cemented the stereotype of the ‘fake geek girl’ in the mind of some gatekeeping asshole man.
Shout out to all the girls who love games and comics but who don’t engage with them like the mainstream, who read or play casually, or who absorb the gestalt and care less about the details.
Shout out to all the girls who aren’t able to shut down the men who spring pop quizzes on them just for having the wrong insignia splashed across the chest that brands them a fake in the eyes of the subculture they wish to engage with.
Geekery is your domain as well, and you are no less entitled to it for not being a walking encyclopedia with instant recall.
