Building The Geeky Kink Event

hemidemisemiquavery: This is a story about a person who sucks.

ANYWAY, with Jon’s story out of the way, I’d like to share this article with you, in which an editor for a geeky website meets him over an internet dating service and is turned off by the fact that he plays Magic at all.

[Edited]

I agree with…

Argh. Just argh, on all sides.

Writer of this ridiculous article, you are very closed minded for someone who works in geekiness. Also, WTF for calling him out by his real name on a widely read geek site? Your heart is not Klingon. You are dishonored in our sight.

I’m scrolling the comments, and it looks like all the super misogynist asshat comments have been deleted. I have no doubt they were there, tho. They also have no honor.

This reminds me of two things. First, people that for some reason need to enforce a geek hierarchy get on my nerves soooo much. We watch Star Trek in our pjs, we have sonic screwdriver pens, get over yourselves pls.

Second, I’ve noticed around the improv social scene that a lot of males are … fearful? Ashamed? to mention geekiness in front of females. Even if there are geeky females present. They get this weird panicked look in their eye, as if to say “OMG, I’ve been talking about Spiderman in front of women for 20 minutes?!?!” The most poignant case was someone ashamed to mention their job at Marvel b/c they were trying to hit on a cute pair of lesbians (that was a REALLY weird situation on many levels).

Is this the kind of b.s. that freaks out my nerd bros? Don’t be freaked out, nerd bros! There are plenty nerd girls out there who won’t give you b.s. like this mean person. And cons, picnics, and geek-specific dating sites where they gather. Probably also non-geeky girls who aren’t this shallow, either.

So you think you are a geek, eh? The first step is to admit to yourself your geekiness. No matter what anyone says, geeks are people too; geeks have rights. So take a deep breath and announce to the world that you are a geek. Your courage will give you strength that will last you forever.

On robots

Robot walks into bar.

Orders a drink, lays down a bill.

Bartender says: ‘we don’t serve robots’.

Robot says: ‘oh, but one day you will!’

-I’ve seen this variously attributed, so I’m not sure whom the author is

So when I was young and noticed I was doing weird things that other people didn’t do, I questioned myself a lot. When i started not just doing them, but being one of the people who made them happen, I questioned myself even less - wouldn’t it be saner, wouldn’t it be smarter, to just get a normal job?

And then, I remember this.

“No, Frederick. I shall live—and die—a Pirate King!”

Partial list of GKE suggestions I got this weekend

…now, I’m not saying these will all happen, but I’m saying that I really love the ideas this event appears to be inspiring.

We received something like the 45th request for “Vogon poetry torture”. I continue to have my doubts about how enthralling this would ACTUALLY be as an activity, but damn, it seems to be something people want. We might just try it…
A functional TARDIS cage. (It’s smaller on the inside than on the outside…)
Bootblacking with “Metropolis” playing silently in the background.
Buffy “Once More With Feeling” sing-along.
Robot play. (Yes, we do have robots. Lego robots, bitches!)
Dr. Horrible’s Superhero Beat Down.
Mapping the hotel in smoots.
Jacob’s Ladder marshmellow roast
Children’s artists/authors who were also adult artists/authors
HUG OLYMPICS!
Fire circle
A mad science lab…
