I pretty much skipped all except page 1 and 6 since I can see it would be a waste of time to do so. I will go straight to the subject at hand. All here should be aware that I am a 100% man. I also proudly call myself a Geek, Otaku and gamer. I hate any kind of discrimination - it's bad and can only lead to bad blood. So I hate it and try my best to avoid discriminating anyone. "Fake Geeks" - hey is there any larger social group which doesn't have people trying to pass as members of such a group? I have no idea about others but I think of myself as someone who treats people pretty fairly - looking at who people are not what they are. It's the personality and shared interest which matters not gender, nationally and so on... As for some examples of a fair treatment of females in the Geek, Otaku, gamer communities.l My mom plays MOHA AA in one clan and she is quite well accepted. My brother has a female friend which he introduced to Touhou and some other subparts of the Otaku culture -I was more surprised by such a person existing in the same town then by the fact that she is female. One of the people whose option about RPing I highly value is a girl. My brother uses a girl as his main recommending center for anime. I myself prefer using and roleplaying as female characters - can't explain why myself. I cloud go on and on about this so to cut it short - discrimination is bad as is ignoring it. But humans are imperfect beings so I doubt that we will see the day when discrimination disappears.
