-- Some idiots think it's stupid or uncool to be one
-- Many closet geeks walk amongst you at work and at home. Closet geeks are actually more prominant in women than men. "Oh, I could *never* get into those violent computer games!" Yeah, right, sistah, one hour of Q3A and you'll be upgrading your internet connection to broadband and buying a GeForceIII to support your new habit.
-- Both have either never or seldom had sex with women
-- Both get snooty or catty in much the same way over what they consider "high art" or "good taste," even though the definitions often vary greatly.
-- Establishments for "geek culture" have been set up that cater to this somewhat suppressed demographic. Cyber cafes, LAN gaming centers, Starbucks ...
-- Movies or TV shows have often had token gay guys, and now some are getting token geeks. In fact, geek culture is becoming popularized and at the same time misrepresented in movies from The Matrix to Swordfish to bad X-Files episodes.
And now, my "out list" of celebrities that I just *know* are geeks:
Ben Affleck: Oh, sure, he's the dashing male lead in so many movies, but he does Kevin Smith movies, too. He's probably a CounterStrike n00b l4m4, though. I bet he couldn't rocket jump to save his life.
Jeanine Gorafolo: Everyone wants to think she's just this Earthy, simple girl. But I bet she's got a whole server farm set up in a loft somewhere ...
Ellen: Oh sure, you stepped out of one closet, but you're still in another one. She's just acting to support her affinity for registering domains that rhyme with -yke and runs all the sites on Linux boxes.
Brad Pitt: Fight Club was such a coverup. Trying to make him look like the epitome of everything anti-civilization and anti-technology. I hear he's actually ranked in the top 10 of the CPL for TribesII.
That's all I have for now, I'll list more as I see 'em =)
