This is for my cosplayers, and/or my girly-girls. So, I read this article about how this engineer listened to his wife and her friends complaining about tights and pantyhose, then really looked at them and realized that they weren’t well-designed at all, and that there was definitely room for improvement. Thus, Heist tights were born.… Read More Geek Girls Rule #468 – Review: Heist Tights
So, this is another thing I love about Fanfic that I haven’t really talked about before, the fact that people can take the same character and that character’s canon and come up with completely different interpretations of that character’s motivations. I mean, in the first place there is the fact that consuming fiction is a… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #467 – Why We Do It: Fanfic Part II
I’ve probably written about this before, but there’s another facet of this that’s come up in recent years. Your gaming group moving away, and away away. The Seattle area is a pretty vast, sprawling, I dunno, metroplex? There’s Seattle proper, which keeps expanding. Then there’s all the suburbs and neighborhoods that are still kind of… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #465 – Gaming as Grown Ups
The BGFITW and the Martian took me out to see Avengers Infinity War Saturday for my birthday. Ok, I was trepidatious as fuck about this one, because as with Civil War, this is not one of my favorite storylines. Seriously, guys, there are soooo many, much better storylines to choose. Ugh. Basically, it was meh.… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #463 – Review: Avengers Infinity War
Ok, first, go to the SocialJusticeLeague page for the article How to be a Fan of Problematic Things and read it. I’m just going to quote the main points of the article, because I don’t think I can say it any better: Firstly, acknowledge that the thing you like is problematic and do not attempt… Read More Geek Girls Rule #462 – A Refresher Course in Liking Problematic Things
“Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them.” – Margaret Atwood Ooookay… So this is a thing I was hoping never to have to talk about again, but some InCel douchecanoe felt the need to run over women in a van because he wasn’t getting any.… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #461 – GamerGaters, MRAs, PUAs, and InCels.
One of the problems I have doing this blog is that I often don’t realize that several of my interests are actually geeky. I mean, yes, comics, the MCU, gaming (video and roleplaying), being into SF/F, and a little bit being into Horror. But periodically I’m surprised when people tell me something else I like… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #460 – What Counts as Geeky?
So, I said I’d get to this. I was giving Green Ronin a chance to update their proposal, or at the very least take it down pending massive edits, but two and a half weeks later neither of those things has happened, so here goes. The Green Ronin S.T.O.P. Proposal for dealing with sexual harassment… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #457 – Green Ronin’s S.T.O.P Proposal: How NOT to Handle Sexual Harassment
I know, I’ve talked about being a sucker for marketed stuff from my fandoms before. From the Nightcrawler shrine, to the Captain America wall art collection, I pretty much am a target market. So when I got the email about Bésame Cosmetics’ Field Agent Lip Kit, I rationalized buying it with the idea of reviewing… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #456 – Review: Bésame Cosmetics – Field Agent Lip Kit
Ok, so one of the stupid rumors cycling around the MCU is that they could have Captain Marvel take on the mantle of Captain America. Which is stupid. Captain Marvel is her own thing. In the MCU you also have two characters who have both, canonically, taken on the mantle of Captain America: Sam Wilson… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #453 – Ugh, Stupid Rumors
