oink oink.

Doing a degree in “culture” means that at least 50% of what you’ll be surrounded by can be defined by the term “geek culture,” usually prefaced by “feminist insights into…” I’ve heard over and over about how this subculture is some kind of haven, some kind of happy place for womenfolk to exist/define themselves outside of major normative expectations, where we can all be whatever the fuck we’d like and we frolic in meadows and eat cotton candy and pretend we had no idea jared padelecki used to live in star’s hollow and play football and eating pizza with lauren graham and shit. oh, okay. Now that I’ve seen some of this garbage in real life and not just through people ranting in class, I feel pretty comfortable in saying “bullshit.” Or, perhaps I can have someone else say it for me…

Imma just leave these things here. Please to peruse in order. The second one has chicks showing boobies and occasionally wearing glasses to say “hey, i’m geeky. whatup. now tell me how pretty i am on the internet” in case you need a warning/can’t be bothered to click:

Also, please do not eat chicken wings out of dead Amy Winehouse. It’s creepy.
