the whole argument relies on identifying what people's intentions and inner attitude is (which is really fucking difficult) and drawing really hard and fast, bright lines about what allows one to identify as a geek (also really fucking difficult). and, furthermore, the whole argument about it is very often rooted in either misogyny or resentment - I mean, seriously, how often is the argument NOT rooted in that? especially the well-developed form of the argument (& the reason the argument includes girls and not boys) which is that 'fake geek girls' are only out there to draw attention by being sexy and attracting gamers, or somehow to get their claws into lonely geek boys.

so, hey, maybe there are fake geek girls (and boys) out there. but it's almost impossible to tell who is a "fake" and who's not, and caring a whole lot about it and getting stirred up with animus on account of it is, it seems to me, almost always the result of some heavy negative emotional shit on the part of the person getting angry, which doesn't really justify the action.

so tl;dr let people do what they're going to do. it's impossible to tell whether they're "fake" or "real" and I don't see any real reason to care either way. Are they a good person? Treats people decently, says interesting things? then I don't give a shit whether they're "fake" or not.
