The Geek Hierarchy

InformationGeek · February 01, 2011, 03:39:28 PM

So... where are you on this list? I'm all over the place on this list, but I am mostly in the third row near the top with Comic Book fans and Anime Fans who don't care about the subtitles.

I bite the heads off live chickens at circus side shows so pretty high.

I like erotic Star Trek.
Especially if it involves furries.

Why all the hate ?
And who doesn't want a furry Doggett in the action ?

I always thought Information Geeks were the very top of the hierarchy.

We bad movie & monster fans are probably on the same level of sci-fi literature fans if I had to guess.

I guess I'm sort of straddling between the second and third rows. Hopefully I'll manage to get up to the first row someday, somehow (although not as a fantasy artist; 95% of fantasy art is pretty much the same as what's been done before, and that's exactly what's expected of the genre).

'Till, then, I'll enjoy what I do and what I choose for my entertainment with no regard as to what other geeks might think of me.

"Fantasy" art,the word "fantasy" itself-I believe-covers a large area. Could be sci-fi worlds,the supernatral,the surreal,or the just plain weird. Unless it's a documentary-technically-ALL fiction is fantasy. But as far as elves and trolls and unicorns go (what is generally thought as "fantasy art") I agree-it's quite...whats the word I want?-Blah.

OK, that includes me. Guess I'm in the second row.

I'm curious if anyone iwns up to being on the bottom witth the furries, as it were.
I fall between 2-3 in the middle from Sci-Fi Fan to Video Gamer.

Now if you 'll pardon me, I have to see a man about an ocelot.

JaseSF · February 02, 2011, 05:01:13 PM

I consider myself primarily a monster fan as I'm most attracted to stories, comics, films, TV shows, etc. that happen to involve monsters of some sort or another above anything else in all honesty. Where do I fall on the chart?...honestly I'm all over the place here with the rest. (Comics, guess I'd be on the fourth row, Anime third row, video gamers third row, I am a Sci-Fi Literature fan but I also like Heinlein and books based on TV series too)...mostly I'd say I'm in the third row mainly on most levels with a little dip below when it comes to comics and literature...

Leah · February 02, 2011, 05:09:29 PM

Comic book fan, as in Brute Force, Batman, Grendel, etc...
I'm also a videogamer, though I mostly play STREET RACING games, not TRACK RACING.

HappyGilmore · February 03, 2011, 01:00:13 AM

I haven't read a comic book in about a year and a half. I don't watch much tv, let alone sci-fi tv. I don't know what a Klingon is. Or Pierce Anthony.

So technically I'm in the 'comic book' category but not really.

JaseSF · February 03, 2011, 01:42:45 PM

There probably should be a category for us pro wrestling fans too...
