Being a long-time multi-genre loving self proclaimed geek myself, I often call people out on many different aspects of fandom. What do I mean? Well, other than "in-fighting" (IE: SW vs ST) among geeks, who is it that general gives us the snickers, etc? The so-called 'normal'people? Mainly, yes. But compare the number of SW fans, ST fans, Dungeons & Dragons fans, comic book fans, video game fans to... football fans? baseball fans?
Just TRY and tell me football (the American variety but it applies to football abroad as well) fans do not meet the criteria that are lumped upon us that define us as geeks! Look at the merchadise, the costumes they wear at games, the fierce devotion!
I'm not saying they're mutually exclusive either. SW fans can love football too, just as some Trek fans love Stargate or SW or baseball or Sailor Moon or Rob Zombie or... well, you get the idea.
We're just one big happy geek family and we shouldn't pick on each other! C'mon- group hug!!
(eewwwwwww... lol)
But back to topic.....
