Go Down

Boyah, I'm really, really sick of this whole "geek is chic" thing these days. All these fucking girls who think they're geeky because they've watched someone play Portal and they've gotten through 3 levels on Super Meat Boy. And then they buy a shirt. And post a picture of themselves wearing it on Reddit.

Sorry, just ranting. Particularly annoyed by this trend right at this moment, not saying it's anything new.  akudood;

I agree. False pretenses suck.

that's a pretty short "rant"

But it's really not just women. There are guys out there that played some MW2/3 and think they're the hardest of hardcore gamers, and girls that play it just for the attention of these guys. All these people try to "outgeek" each other, and if you point out that it's really not all that special, then they get pissed. Really, if you think Portal is the pinnacle of gaming, you probably haven't been playing games for very long and/or you should probably try to form your own opinions instead of parroting what other people say to be cool.  akudood;

The biggest problem is these people are trying to put themselves in the same class as people with genuine hobbies and they're trying to push them out. There's nothing worse than some bro guy that's played maybe 10 games in his life telling me and my 700 games that my tastes suck and that I need to play a real game, like Madden. akudood;

It wouldn't be so bad if people kept this shit to themselves, but the problem is it's not a hobby--it's merely some crazy "fashion statement", where they can't be seen not being somewhat geeky (because then they give off the image of being shallow and dumb), but at the same time, their tastes are very shallow and they have no legitimate interest in what they do. akudood;

Fuck these new-gen "nerds." It's people like Ulillillia that I admire.

Fuck geek chicks.

I'd rather have a completely non-geeky girl that's earnestly interested in something, even if it's bullshit like fashion, than a woman that tries hard to look nerdier than her friends merely for the sake of attracting men. akudood;

YPrrrr

Does this happen in real life or is this just a way to get views online? Seems more like the later since geeks are more prevalent on the internet
