Isn't that what every fandom says though??? lol

I remember last week when I saw something on Facebook with a girl holding Xbox 360 discs and getting her fingerprints on them and it had text on the image saying something about girls being able to play video games. You know "gamer girl" stuff. And of course, there were people who were angry about the way she was holding them (which is reasonable to be angry about lol)... and there were people calling her a whore with a controller, essentially saying she's not a real gamer and claims that she is to get attention.

Or another post when there were things that were considered "Nerd but are cool nowadays" and basically have girls being sexual with these "nerdy" things, like comicbooks and video games and whatever. That sort of thing is FINE to me as long as they are a genuine fan and not claiming they are just for attention.

So of course, there were butthurt people who are all like "Maybe they're actual fans, you people need to stop being so judgemental!!!" blah blah blah. That's true, maybe THEY ARE FANS, but we don't know that??? I was basically siding with the people who said that the things that were considered "nerdy" or "geeky"... were uncool back in the day. If you liked this thing, you were a loser basically. But that's different for every area, isn't it? Where I grew up, Pokemon waaaas a thing, if you were an early nineties kid. But no, I'm a late nineties kid, so the reaction fluctuated between "it's cool" or "you're pretty lame for liking Pokemon", at least in my area.

I think there needs to be a line drawn over who is a fan and who is just saying so for attention. ^^; Like if you don't know who the hell Zelda is and keep labeling Link as "Zelda", then idk what to say??? That's a very basic thing. XD At least know the "basics", you don't have to know EVERY DETAIL, but don't make yourself look like an idiot. You know what I mean?

Sorry if this came out too blunt or rude. :P
