Hi I'm Josh and my life is a Jens Lekman song.

 

think on this.: Geeks

I think the reason I find geek culture so obnoxious at times to engage in is because the people are for the most part the same privileged dips that inhabit mainstream culture, but with the added detriment of a victim complex. They’re still largely white and center their race, they’re still largely straight and center their sexuality, they’re still largely cis men who center their gender. They challenge nothing about the status quo and what bodies get to be placed at the center of it, they offer nothing radically different to the typical narratives about which groups of people are and are not important and they can be just as hostile to groups who try to find a place in their space as the mainstream is, in some cases even worse. But for some reason they think the fact that they like Battlestar Galactica instead of Monday night football makes them radical alterna-gods who are too good for this sinful Earth.

Blah Blah Blah… Racism… Blah Blah Blah … gender bullshit.

Geek Culture is “obnoxious” to you because thinking is “work” to you, and FUN for us.

The fact is geeks don’t give a fuck about culture at all. For the most part we were excluded from it by everyone, as your anti-geek bias just goes to show. We’re not even welcome in your little section of hell.

How the fuck can a member of any victimized group dare claim that another group has a “victim complex”? How can you try and throw that proverbial stone and not expect to have your own sins written in the proverbial sands.

The fact is, that Geeks have no race, gender, gender preference, or other social entanglements, and as a result… WE DON’T HESITATE TO CALL YOU ON YOUR BULLSHIT. What’s worse, is that we do it with empirical and undeniable FACTS backed up by logical and reasonable science. That true or false bottom line that doesn’t give a fuck what you “feel” because at the end of the day, our way is the only one that works.

THAT is what has you butt hurt about geek culture. That and the fact that we can do more with our smartphones while we are drunk, than all of you can do together with room full of supercomputers.

You want to be accepted by geek culture? Put in the effort to learn about how things work, or listen to those who do.

As a geek, there is NOTHING cooler than some one who can teach me something I didn’t know, and nothing more obnoxious than some one who criticizes that instinct with absolutely nothing to offer of their own.

The rest of your biases are just that… YOUR BIASES.

Go read a book, bitch.

the level of delusion that most ‘geeks’ possess is something worthy of awe
