I'm getting really sick of how much the word "geek" is so overused.(MTV Geek is probably the stupidest thing I've heard)
I don't expect the mainstream media to completely forgot about fanboys, but I wonder if we'll stop seeing "geek is cool" being shoved in our faces like they give a s***.

That being a geek is socially acceptable now is a good thing. I'm proud to be a geek.

I kind of hope it does end.
If there's one thing I hate, it's blatant pandering.

It's just a fad so it will end at some point. Maybe once The Big Bang Theory ends or they run out of comics to make good movies out of or something.

I don't think it ever really started. Unless we are saying that people want to be like Sheldon on Big Bang Theory.

It makes it easier to score women than it ever used to be. Why should it end?

It might die down but I don’t think it will stop completely until there’s no more money to be made from it and judging by the amount of comic book movies in production and several geeky industries on the rise that won’t be happening any time soon.

As a self-professed geek.....I sure as hell hope so.
The acceptance of Geek Culture is one thing, That I hope lasts, but the whole thought of Geeks as a specific demographic doesn't sit right with me.

Like any fad, you'll have your share of posers. This was an actual conversation I had with a woman on a date:
Her: "Oh, I love X-Men!"
Me: "Cool! Which X-Books are you currently reading?"
Her: "I actually haven't read the comics".
Me: "Oh so you've seen them from movies or cartoons then?"
Her: "Well..."
Me: "*sigh*"
Women like her give true woman geeks a bad name! And for all you female geeks out there, I salute you.
