“A lot of people feel that way. That if you didn’t pay your dues by being ostracized then you’re not *really* a geek.

I don’t think that though. It’s not an exclusive club that you need to pay some social price to get in. Being a geek is about loving something passionately beyond all reason or sense. And it need not necessarily be related to science fiction, fantas, superheroes, etcetera. You can be a gardening geek, a model train geek, stamp collecting geek, a baby geek…

It’s about enthusiasm, in my opinion.
