okay, look

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

i would say it's more prevalent on the net but it's definitely bleeding out into real life in a big way.

Well if it has any influence on moving girls from the uggs northface leggings combo I would tolerate it

that feel when redditors will give 5000 actual upvotes to any chick that poses in a picture with anything portal related

that feel when if you say something about how it's bullshit, you get downvoted 2084029 times and they say "if you have nothing nice to say, then don't say anything at all!!!!" or "this is why girls aren't on the internet!!!"

that feel when a guy takes a similar picture and everybody's like "okay whatever get the fuck out of here"

that feel when you realize these are adult men

Well if it has any influence on moving girls from the uggs northface leggings combo I would tolerate it

oh god that's awful too

how do they think that looks good

at least they're not personally coming up to me and trying to brag about how they know more about X than i do or trying to show off to me personally

I wish things like gaming had more even gender ratios without silly culturally-defined gendered interest differences :'(

It's particularly annoying for me because of identifying as female while having a couple very male-dominated interests and also because of being attracted to females while preferring people who share more interests with me, but this unbalanced gender ratio can also be seen as the reason this issue of them receiving so much attention exists in the first place

but aside from that, yes, it's pretty annoying that plenty of people like to call themselves geeks and gamers just because of playing the currently most popular FPS/MMO/whatever and that so many guys on the internet give such excessive attention to girls who do so.

Though plenty of them are hardly truly interested in video games, some of the excessively popular gamer girls on the internet are significantly less annoying when it's clear that they actually held interest in gaming before trying to seek attention for it. Like Sam

This is a good thread.

Honestly, I think that women becoming more common on the internet is strange. Sexuality and gender make things so much more complicated.

whats wrong with north face jackets.....

whats wrong with north face jackets.....

I don't think he has a problem with north cave coats/rain jackets, ect. I think he is complaining about the northface fleeces that a lot young women wear on a daily basis.

[Hiro]

I have no problem with the uggs/leggings combo thing, because honestly if I were a girl I would probably wear something similar because they seem comfortable. plus the girls' asses are hanging out, why complain?

northface fleeces that a lot young women wear on a daily basis.

people are complaining about women wearing fleeces now? that's really a thing?

Anyways, i agree with the main topic, but I've never seen it even on the level of any girl knowing what super meat boy is. Usually it's like "OMG I WATCHED MY BROTHER PLAY THE ORIGINAL ZELDA ON THE N64 AND I LOVE POKEMON SNAP I AM SUCH A NEEERRRRRRRRDDDDDD~~" or even a girl just thinking they're nerdy for wearing glasses for christ's sake. It's weird, because people trying to give me advice on socializing have often told me I'm boring and need to be more passionate or something like that (which might be true) but then if anyone ever expresses any interest for anything then you're considered a huge nerd and/or hipster, unless of course you only like top 40 radio and call of duty, in which case you are a mindless idiot or whatever.
It really just pisses me off when people try to push some image of themselves, insist they're better for liking/disliking something in particular, pretending they like something/are a certain way when they clearly do/are not, criticize other people for liking/disliking something they do not, etc etc etc etc etc etc. Have I made my point?
It's all bullshit either way, so just do what you like and brush off the kids that are going through phases of trying to find themselves.
