I feel the same way.

Maybe there's a lot more "fake geek girl" backlash against women in fandom now, maybe it was always there and I was just better at ignoring it because it was the only place I didn't feel like a complete outcast.

I'm still in fandom, but it's not my whole identity like it was when I was younger.

Yeah, we never experienced fake geek girl shit until like, this past year or two. I suspect it might be a more recent phenomenon, because there's enough geek girls to go around that the geek guys can AFFORD to be smug. What WE experienced was this idea that since they were a geek guy and we were (they thought) a geek girl, we were somehow contractually obligated to date/fuck them.

Like, we were treated badly in many creepy ways, but our geek cred at least was never questioned.
