lilacsigil: 12 Apostles rocks, text "Rock On" (12 Apostles)

Yeah, the original "fake geek girl" thing raged at booth babes as well as cosplayers. Booth babes are there as a job: their job requires acting interested in customers and liking whatever they're selling. That's no more "fake" than someone in retail being polite to a customer.

But really it's about putting women down because of those male geeks' own insecurities. If you're not "hot", you're an ugly bitch who shouldn't be there. If you are "hot" you're a fake geek girl who shouldn't be there.

Exactly. That's exactly what I've seen in (comics) geek culture. Unless you can stand there, quoting every issue number and story arc and entire character histories, gtfo. And if you CAN do that and you're attractive, extra gtfo because you're rubbing it into the insecure geek man-children.

I am a comics geek and can do the issue number quote thing...but since I'm not hot, why would they listen to me? And if I was hot, why would they listen to me? Fortunately I'm a lesbian and don't have to wade through manchild egos to search for possible geeky partners!

Honestly, even as someone attracted to men, I wouldn't touch those asshole with a ten foot pole. Obviously all geek guys aren't like this but... no. Just nope. Nothing attractive about being an asshole no matter what you're gender is or is not.
