In Defense of Geeks
Nov. 12th, 2011 10:58 pmBecause there's something else that brassed me off about last night's Supernatural episode.
Inspired by Kalliel's post about writing posts emphasizing all the awesome things that Supernatural fans do that aren't related to fandom. I'm gonna take a slightly different tack. I defend my fan-girl status. Because being a fan-girl (or fan-boy)? Does not automatically turn you into a horrible person. We come from lots of different backgrounds. Not all fan girls and fan-boys were picked on in high school. Some of us have engaging social lives and/or successful careers and/or sex with attractive people without resorting to black magic. Sometimes we even have interests outside of the things we're fans of. And watch out: we have a habit of taking over the asylum eventually. So here's a few examples of awesome people whom we can count among our own ranks.
( You can tell that it's more fun to be a fan, because all the cool kids are doing it )
