> Or politics. Or religion. Or, you know, _everywhere_.

I know, but I was specifically connecting it to other hobbies/interests in this case to make a point that it's not just geeks/nerds that can be hostile over differing interests.

Hell sport fans have been to spontaneously launch large violent riots over the result of a game... No one has ever done that over a video game or a TV show (Partly why the whole "Gamer's are sexist, misogyntic bastards" critiques anger me so much, because geeks/gamers are overall the one group that's the furthest away from being sexist, violent etc).

Sorry for the mini rant there, I know you don't think that way so I don't have to make the argument at you.
I just got on a tiny tangent there and just kept rambling on.

> You didn't get what I was trying to say with my post, you just agreed with my statement that geeks have standards just like every other kind of community which means that geek rebels can exist

Funny, cause if we look at the OP you never said that.
But what you _did_ say was that you consider yourself a rebel for liking stuff that other Geek's don't.

First by claiming that they all like Doctor Who, which I showed you to be false.
In other words, not agreeing with you.

Secondly, I addressed how Geeks and Nerds are not just one group with the exact same interests as you. They differ and have varying interest, so to be a 'rebel' geek/nerd is kind of impossible because there's nothing to rebel against. You are a geek/nerd, that is it.

And if you honestly are avoiding things you might otherwise like because of perceived popularity? That's not cool, that's not admirable, that's just sad, and screams someone who is punishing themselves for attention. 

+Comic book geeks are actually more common than you think.
I would say go out and look, but I'm assuming you already cut yourself from other comic book fans because they aren't 'rebels' like you and were actually fine liking comics, while at the same time liking other things.
