“For the Love of Geekdom”

Bree (Cosmic Green) has always been a geek, and she’s very happy to have another geek on the team: Lonnie (Radical Rainbow). However, the two have very different paths into the world of geekdom.

Damn those cute geek girls <3 <3 <3

Check out the Kickstarter for magnifiqueNOIR: a book series about black, queer, magical girls :)

Geekdom is the only place where socially shunned males can be save and be themselves. So when women, who exclude them outside geek culture, invade those save spaces and force the scene to conform to their wants and rules they leave the men with nowhere to go. Where can they flee? They're backed into a corner. Attacking invading women is not harrassment - it is defense. Women hate socially inept males. Why should they not hate them back when they try to destoy their only sanctuary.

Ok, where to begin with this trainwreck.
Gaming was never yours. Never. It was not designed as a safe space for guys free of women and you have no exclusive rights to the medium in the same way that no gender have exclusive rights to film and television. If women said you were not allowed to read books because that is their safe thing you would think they were ridiculous, you do not own a medium.
Women are not required to want to hang out with you in real life in order to game, that is another bullshit standard you apply to them and not to men. If a guy is a jerk whom you wouldn’t want to hang out with in real life you don’t throw a tantrum.
Women are not a hivemind, we each have our own individual thoughts and feelings and judge you individually.
That being said, women don’t want to hang out with you, not because you’re socially inept, but because you are an entitled asshole who thinks that women owe you their time outside of games in order to be able to play games without hostility.
If men weren’t hostile towards women, who have just as much a right to game as them, and weren’t so hostile towards the concept of fair representation then there would be any changes to the “scene” required, because people would already have a fair and fun experience.
Games are not your sanctuary mate, they are a product medium and never once has it been yours. Get over yourself.

To add.

What if women said that men weren’t allowed to enjoy the things they contribute to geekdom because it’s their “safe space” and, therefore, didn’t want men to invade it? You’d lose out on a lot of gaming, a lot of animation, a lot of comics, a lot of everything that has become a staple to geekdom in general.

Also, would this mean that female characters are just for your enjoyment or are they also invading in on your “territory” because geekdom should only be a boy’s club? I mean is it uncomfortable to play Tomb Raider or Metroid? Bayonetta? Do Chun-Li and Cammy terrify you? Does Wonder Woman make you cringe? All that screentime for Black Widow must’ve been hell. You hated Star Wars, didn’t you? Rey was all up in that. I’d recommend not going anywhere near Sailor Moon.

Naw I’m betting you enjoy the female driven aspects of geekdom, just not the actual women who are a part of it, for some asinine reason of believing they owe you something, as if you were the one courteous enough to let them in when geekdom has always had an open door policy to everyone. And when some woman (or women) didn’t see things your way you declared it to be an invasion on a thing that you don’t own. At all.

But hey, what do I know, I’m just a girl.
