Re: Your "stereotypes" about other fandoms

[(Anonymous)]

Does it count if I have excellent fangirl radar? I can usually tell if someone's a fangirl or not, usually within the first ten minutes of meeting them.

Re: Your "stereotypes" about other fandoms

What are the "tells"?

AYRT

I honestly don't know. There's just this... undercurrent, I guess? Something I pick up on, anyhow. Hard to explain really.

DA

it's probably the slight excitement you can feel simmer inside the person, as the same excitement exists in you, and thus you reach resonance. Pure psychological physics.

That's really interesting, because I'm not a very conspicuous fangirl-- or so I tell myself!-- and tend to think that people wouldn't know unless I told them. I'm interested in a lot of things, of course, but not to the extent where it's like oh, here's my Firefly-related tumblr and my Sherlock Holmes tumblr and the t-shirt I got from Comicon last year with my signed autograph from William Shatner blah blah blah.

AYRT It's been a useful feature of my life. I've met some very good friends, through being able to pick up on whatever it is I'm picking up on! None of them are conspicious either.

Then again, it's impossible to tell who I've missed, so you know. Could just be pot luck. :)

I'm really curious about this, because I don't talk about my interests when I first meet someone. I don't know if I'd ping you as a fangirl when I talk about literally nothing fannish.

AYRT

Hah, the more I reply to these the weirder it's going to sound. It's not really something I'm picking up from subjects discussed, it's... something else? Oh my god, this is hard to describe.

Also, I think it would be a stretch to label it 'fangirl radar' if I was pegging people as fangirls because they were discussing fandom, you know? ;)

Yeah, I'm a fangirl myself, so it's totally hypocritical to say this - but when I see women wearing fandom shirts and slightly "gothic" fashion while obviously not being in high school anymore, and don't otherwise present very well, idk, I get super judgey in my head. Especially if they start talking about yaoi or something in an obnoxious way, super second hand emabarassment (and I fucking love yaoi/slash myself). And I know that's terrible, hypocritical, etc.

I don't know if that counts as "excellent fangirl radar" - there's definitely women out there who it doesn't take ESP to determine that they are a fangirl.

I wouldlove you to try your radar out on me. I'm like the ultimate undercover fangirl. I met a friend of a friend once, and he chatted to me about nerdy stuff, and afterwards I overheard him ask my friend something about whether I would think he was too nerdy. She was like, "No, dude, she's been to fan conventions. She is nerdier than you l00."

And even my IRL friends don't know the true extent of my fannish life...
