I meant nobody here was saying it. I'm aware of idiots outside this forum who say it.

What I'm saying is that you shouldn't call yourself an X-men fan if you have no clue who Wolverine is.
Why, though? Maybe you just saw X-Men: First Class and really liked it. Maybe you obsessively read X-Men comics in the 70s and haven't really kept up with the fandom since. Those people sound like X-Men fans to me, and there's no reason they'd know anything about Wolverine. I just don't see the point of having minimum standards for who gets to "claim" a fandom. If someone calls himself an X-Men fan and doesn't know who Wolverine is, rather than scoffing at him, why not just say, "Hey, you should check out one of the many X-Men comics/shows/movies involving Wolverine, because he's a pretty cool character"?

its simply that calling out girls specificlly is rather sexist.
I personally feel that a person should have to at least read textbooks for fun to consider themselves geeks.

No he does have a point. A trekkie that can't name Kirk, sock and maybe MC Coy is kind of like a christian that can't name Jesus.
I mean not knowing Picard I can understand. He is like somewhere around the importance grade of Peter and Paul.
And Janeway or Archer are about the level of the other Marry. (not the virgin)
But Kirk is bleeding Jesus.

Based on this context, I'd guess "a somewhat insecure teenage boy."
I've gamed all my life. I have literally never encountered a woman screaming, "LOOK AT ME I'M FEMALE AND I PLAY GAMES LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME GIVE ME ATTENTION TEE HEE HEE I'M SUCH A GEEK YOU SILLY BOYS GIVE ME ATTENTION." I have encountered a lot of insecure teenage boys who treat any woman playing games without actively trying to hide her gender as if that's what she's doing.

Christian is such a flexible concept these days that I really wouldn't object to that.
The idea of Kirk being Star Trek Jesus is pretty ludicrous. TNG was, well, "lightyears" ahead of TOS.

Try "was anomalous" rather than "could have been anomalous".Slafstopia wrote:Nailed to the Perch wrote:

I have. Once. I never said they were a majority or even a substantial portion. I know plenty of perfectly awesome girl gamers and geek girls and all that stuff.
But the one person I met who was like that was rather annoying. It could have just been anomalous of course.

You gotta realize that most of these boys are really not used to the presence of females.

I find the arguments about "fake geek girls" to be rather akin to the arguments against homosexuals. You hear a lot about how those damned fags are throwing it in our faces by...you know, EXISTING. He's HOLDING HANDS WITH ANOTHER MAN! He's just RUBBING OUR FACES IN IT!
The primary complaint I've seen about these "gamer girls wanting attention" is basically...she refuses to hide the fact that she exists. She flaunts the fact that she both palys video games AND posesses a vagina she's not willing to spread wide for whatever fat, sweaty inexperienced slob wants to take a go at her.
