If she's any sort of actress (and I think she's a great actress) she will have done research into her character.RTSnab said:
This whole thing is hilarious because I'll wager the majority of men who call themselves geeks have no fucking clue what they are on about when it comes to geek stuff and play nothing but COD or WOW. (Sounds petty don't it)
this shit is still going on? *smirk*
Yeah, sorry that you're too hardcore for the masses, but I think that all the game studios that get, you know, paid by having people (read: not just "hardcore Gamers") play their games so that they can make more games (that you play) are happy to have people who can't name every Zelda game in chronological order off the top of their heads giving them money. Sorry the girls have finally found your super secret fort.

This is a lot of the reason why I strongly dislike "people who hate fake geek/gamer/jock/etc girls/boys/its/etc". It reflects really poorly on the rest of the community and makes most of us seem like elitist bastards. I personally would never want to go back to the "golden days" when geek/nerd/gamer culture was obscure and new. I'm glad i dont have to sit there and justify why I'm playing a video game, or why I'm unabashedly wearing a "nerd/geek" culture shirt. that i can make those references and not have to take 30 minutes and explain why its funny. I like that its cool and open, that super hero movies can be made and not have the executives shitting themselves every day until it makes the bank amount to justify it. I enjoy the diversity its having on the industry, the different characters or different races, sexual backgrounds, etc.
Just cause you put the time in and forged the way doesnt mean everyone else should have to feel the pain. If thats the logic (and I realize this is going to be a hyperbole) then every person who has had ancestors fight for the right to be treated as an equal should have to given the same pain.
Its fine if someone isnt as devoted as you, its fine if they're jsut getting into to be cool. they're going ot go right back out when the next new thing comes in, and im sure theres people in the culture now who like to say they're hardcore and original and deserve to be in the culture that will do the same fake interest just to get in. especially if tehy have yt channels and need the views.

Oh, people with fake glasses exist, believe me, but I'd argue only a small part of them are "hipsters" (whatever that's supposed to mean), since glasses can actually look prettty good on people (Even though I'm actually short-sighted my glasses are a choice of fashion more than anything else: I'd be wearing contacts if I didn't think I look better with glasses, so I guess I'm a dirty hipster pig?)Katatori-kun said:

Who is Lady Deathstrike?
Lady Snowblood of the marvel universe?
you know going from the replies is almost assume you're all the same person making the same comment, like a circle jerk except only 1 person.
anyway, I am blessed with never having to meet these people so meh, couldn't really bring myself to care.
besides if they do exist they will go away as soon as the next big thing comes up, then the people that did that thing first can suffer, ill be on the side line laughing.

I prefer glasses. I did a one week trial of contact lenses and came to hate them with an immense passion. I simply could not get used to the fucking things. I could (only just) tolerate the lens in my left eye, but the lens in my right eye drove me insane (on account of my right eye being weaker and needing a thicker lens). The only useful thing to come out of the whole experience was that I managed to learn how to intentionally poke myself in the eye (you have to suppress the urge to flinch in order to get the fuckin' things in). All in all I found contact lenses to be a whole lot of faffing about and a whole lot of discomfort for very little tangible benefit.felbot said:
It wasn't until I was driving home from the optometrist that it occurred to me that I could've bought contacts for my left eye and had a monocle made up for the right. Maybe once I start getting a few grey hairs....
Indeed. I in fact have a picture of your problem.Moonlight Butterfly said:

I KNEW ABOUT THE THINGS YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT! :3
Proust? PANSY. If you can't successfully decipher Finnegan's Wake and laugh smugly at all the clever references and word-plays that require you to know an immense part of of the said time-period and culture it was written in, you are nothing but a POSER.Simonism451 said:
(Obligatory Sarcasm-warning, and if you don't get the joke about Finnegan's Wake, you are said "poser").
Well most basically one of Wolverine's supervillains. The surprising thing for me is that nothing in that post I made is particularly obscure to me. It just annoyed me that he made fun of that girl for not knowing when he doesn't actually read comics himself. I assume he knew of her from the film.Calibanbutcher said:
Lady Snowblood...jesus dude dredging that up aint ya.
And then there is this.
What's wrong with Lady Snowblood?Moonlight Butterfly said:
And yeah, I am in the "I don't really read comics" bandcamp.
Nothing just a bit of a blast from the pastCalibanbutcher said:
I don't have a problem with people who don't read comics. It's just hypocritical to call someone a 'fake geek girl' and then not know what the fuck you are on about yourself.
That is true, especially since reading comics is not a prerequisite for being a geek?Moonlight Butterfly said:Nothing just a bit of a blast form the pastCalibanbutcher said:
