Three Geeks Chatting
Geek culture in Modern Day Society!
Remember the first time you walked into a comic book store and felt that rush of belonging? That's the spirit we're channeling in our latest podcast episode as Nicholas, Stacy, and Hannah share their journeys through the evolving landscape of geek and nerd culture. It's a heart-to-heart conversation about finding your tribe in the colorful world of conventions, action figures, and comic books. From the personal dynamics at play within the fandom to the gender challenges and triumphs, our stories are as diverse as the characters we adore.
If you've ever felt a connection to a fellow fan over a shared love for D&D or argued over the best superhero arc, you'll find common ground in our discussion on geek culture acceptance and its influence on personal relationships. We delve into anecdotes about navigating the dating scene with a geeky heart, the thrill of connecting over mutual passions, and the compromises we make when our significant others don't quite share our fervor for fandoms. Whether it’s in romance or friendship, these connections can be as intricate and rewarding as any game strategy or comic book plot.
Wrapping up, we extend a warm invitation to you, our fellow enthusiasts, to join in and share your own geek culture stories. Every episode is a chance to celebrate the quirks that unite us, and this one is no exception. So, pull up a seat, tune in, and let's continue to build this incredible community together—one episode, one story, one shared love for all things geek at a time.

What is up, guys? So this episode is geek culture in the modern society. What we're talking about is a lot of you watching this is probably in some form or fashion. This is either your geeks or nerds, and you want to hear about geek and nerd culture. Some of you might not be a geek at all and you might be like what is geek culture? And hey, this topic is said by these three geeks, so let's listen to them. We're all three geeks of different calibers, as we've talked in previous episodes, and I feel like that really gives us a good variety of what makes it what. What is geek culture like to us? What is it like being a geek in modern society? What is it like dating in modern society as a nerd, as a geek? Hannah's extreme, so Hannah is single as of filming this episode. I'm married to Stacey, so because of that, really the question becomes what is it like being a geek in today's society? Let's get chatting. Let's get chatting. Hi guys, I'm Nicholas.
Speaker 2:I'm Stacy. I'm Hannah.
Speaker 1:And this is Three Geeks Chatting. I'm Hannah, and this is Three Geeks Chatting.
Speaker 3:With today's episode, I really wanted to kick it off by asking everybody a question.
Speaker 1:I already said yes, not that question.
Speaker 1:So this is a very dire situation we're in and I need to know Do I need my lightsaber? You always need the lightsaber. How bad have you guys been treated solely solely based on the fact you're a geek? If you listen to the last episode, we talked about what made us a geek and how we became geeks. For me, it was childhood. It was ever since I was born. Hannah talked about when she was about 10, she really got into the geek culture. Stacey didn't say an age, but she was little and it was with the Little Mermaid. How bad have you guys been treated being a geek? We're going to touch deeper into modern society as a geek, but for now, this is where I want to start.
Speaker 3:Depends on the environment that you're in. Depends on the environment Like if you're around other fellow geeks, like my greatest movie experience was. I got to see Star Wars Episode III at the midnight showing. Everybody dressed up. Some guy came in in a really good Darth Vader costume and he came in and he lived in it and everybody went wah and the whole not talking thing went out of the window with, you know, the knowledge that they wanted to watch the movie. But when Yoda came in and boom on those two guards in Darth Sidious's office, everybody just started clapping and cheering. It was kind of like when the Spider-Man showed up.
Speaker 1:No, way home.
Speaker 2:No way home that was probably my best movie experience.
Speaker 1:That was so good. That was so good.
Speaker 3:So, like in those experiences, very good, very accepting, very loving Comic Con, anime Cons depends on who you're interacting with. Mostly accepting Awkward.
Speaker 1:Some of them a little flirtatious with my wife.
Speaker 3:I remember you, I had a guy tell me he wouldn't bite me unless I asked him to.
Speaker 1:I wasn't even dating her.
Speaker 3:You weren't there.
Speaker 1:I wasn't even dating her. I never knew this guy.
Speaker 3:This thing is not going to live. Yeah, I'm talking about my tablet here. I just about knocked it off the table. Yeah, that was like the awkward, like hi run.
Speaker 1:No, thank you, but that also might be Run.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Run no, no, no, no yeah.
Speaker 3:But that might also be part of being a female in the nerd culture can be part of the male, because I know men get it as well well, I feel like, too, that there's not a lot, whole whole lot. I know there is some, but there's not a lot of like female nerds, no um, but I do think females it's becoming more common for girls now but it didn't start out back way back then?
Speaker 1:no, it wasn't um, when we're talking about so, something to clarify. When we're talking about women not being huge in the nerd culture, uh, well, we're. Or geek culture, geek community. What we're referring to is where we currently are, where we were when this happened, um our area is not very our area is not very accepting of a lot of extreme geek and nerd culture, some of the.
Speaker 1:If you are from places such as California, you may have a giant population of women who are into this. This is not in any way us saying that women are. There's not a lot of women in it.
Speaker 2:I just feel like from around here.
Speaker 1:Yeah, around here. I want to clarify. That's for us in our area and we're canceled, yeah.
Speaker 3:Woo. All right, it's good to see you guys.
Speaker 1:All right, but like that.
Speaker 3:Also, like I said, because we had this discussion at our last Comic Con. We were sitting here scrolling through the art and there's a very not safe for work friendly photo of Ahsoka Tano and I'm like, okay, why do I see 15 of these and none of male characters? Like okay, where's the male characters? And some guy next to us, uh, was like because you you.
Speaker 1:He goes because, uh, men aren't that good looking.
Speaker 3:The guy. Another guy said that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's what the other guy said. He goes because men aren't that good looking.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I'm searching through all these fan art Very beautiful art, very cool Some of them very, very not safe for work and I'm like, well, okay, I didn't want to see her in that light Because I love Ahsoka Tano, did not want to see her in that light because I love Ahsoka Tano, did not want to see her in that light. Think that you know.
Speaker 1:We have a cat named Ahsoka. We do.
Speaker 3:We named our cat Ahsoka. But I'm sitting there I'm like, okay, why they do not do this for men? I found one photo that they did it for men and it wasn't even really that much. It was Sam and Dean washing the Impala and that was the only one. But it's like going to, you know, seeing all that stuff. It can be a little interesting sometimes for girls, women in our area. I feel like it's more judged. It's a little more judged around our area. But, and we're canceled Anyway.
Speaker 1:And we're canceled. Good job guys. Okay, let's go home. Wrap this up. I will say we traveled a pretty good distance to a Comic-Con recently.
Speaker 3:Where I saw the photos.
Speaker 1:And the demographic there. It was very much different and there were a lot of women there who were also dressed up and cosplaying. It wasn't just men dressed up and cosplaying, it wasn't just men. And I think one of the good things about current modern day being a geek modern day is there's a lot of areas where it's not accepting, but there's so much social media out there that really shows off how popular it is across the board gender-wise.
Speaker 3:That culture several hours away. Like I said, it depends on your environment, how you're treated, no matter what you are, whether you're a geek, whether you know anything, it depends on the environment you're in. So that environment was more accepting and everything. Like you walk by someone I say I love your costume, like thank you so much and that's so cool, and then I'm guessing people's cosplays wrong and my husband's laughing his head off.
Speaker 1:So how would you say you've been treated for being, I guess, a woman who goes to these conventions, like across the board? Would you say that geek culture has been kind to you?
Speaker 3:For the most part, yes, sometimes it's like I said. Sometimes it's awkward. A few times I have been told you know, hey, that's not a good thing to get into. You shouldn't do that.
Speaker 1:A lot of that.
Speaker 3:I do get a lot of that, but that's not where you're surrounded by other geeks. It's the people who are not surrounded by geeks. So, but I have had a lot of that and I've had a lot of support and everything. So, like I said, it depends on your environment, how you're treated, how you're supported. That is your environment I, what about?
Speaker 1:what about you, hannah?
Speaker 2:I think like if you don't have the same type of friends, you just get viewed as weird and that's also true. Like why would you like this? Why do you obsess about this? Why do you go into this extensive? Why do you collect everything? It's just weird, it's a waste of money. It's weird versus when you have friends that do like all that and they go in your room like, oh my gosh, that's so cool, let's pack your whole room up because I want it. Versus someone who walks in.
Speaker 1:I've said that to her before too. Like hey, can I just have all of these?
Speaker 3:No we don't have room no.
Speaker 2:So it's just very different aspects. So someone walks in your room. It's like who's that pop figure versus someone that walks in and is like, oh my gosh, you have that.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:You know, Like I said, different your friends create different environments.
Speaker 2:Who you're around, you get excited to talk to, versus people that are like, okay, that's weird, I don't really care, so stop talking about it. Yeah, really care to.
Speaker 1:So stop talking about it. Yeah, along the lines of. So I I will say what I think is across the board, no matter where you're, where you grow up at um, especially as if you're an adult, you've probably all experienced this. If you are younger and you're listening to this podcast, you might not be too familiar with with this concept, as I feel like geek and nerd culture are growing more popular. It is making people cooler. I think it's becoming more acceptable, more mainstream.
Speaker 1:So me growing up, I grew up in a pretty decent size, uh area, very populated, advanced high school stuff like that. One of the big things with where I grew up. One of the one of my best friends was really popular. I I wouldn't say like, oh, one of the cool popular sports kids, but he was pretty well known and he didn't have any like anyone who was like, oh man, look at that nerd stuff like that.
Speaker 1:He was huge into filmography and directing and making YouTube videos and I remember for us we went and saw the Force Awakens once and I was living at home still. We went out, I was in, we left at 7 pm at night, stayed out until 5 in the morning at a 24-hour mcdonald's, stayed out all night watched the force awakens which was like my third time viewing it in theaters and just sat out talking about it. We I mean in. There was no consequences to that. As I said in my previous video, my parents didn't monitor really a lot of what I did. They as long as I wasn't dead, they didn't really care what I did.
Speaker 1:Oh, I was like that's what you watched, but yeah, they didn't monitor what I watched and they didn't really care too much what I did. What makes that? What made it so different, though, was there were people in my school who were really nerdy and geeky and into this stuff, and they were harshly judged. They, they, they were viewed very poorly. I hung out with a lot of the kids who were viewed this way at the time. I wasn't very outspoken, so not a lot of people knew that I was into a lot of geek culture. They knew I liked video games, but it wasn't like oh, he's an anime cosplayer, stuff like that, which I don't cosplay. But, you know, not a lot of people knew what I did outside of school. I didn't really tell people, I didn't talk to people. We remember being judged for what we do. You know the amount of times that people have said that's evil, or you shouldn't do that, or or you know why. Why do you like, why? Why do you like that?
Speaker 2:you know why, you know why you stay up all night playing video games with friends.
Speaker 1:Let's go to bed, you know yeah, and then proceed to stay up all night at a bar playing like darts or or card games or something like that, you know, but like completely plastered out their mind by the end of it. I mean it really is shocking on how geek culture has changed. Now we we talked last episode about how the marvel cinematic universe really blew, blew up mainstream comic books. I believe they really changed how people viewed comic books.
Speaker 2:I mean comic books are I've gotten to start reading more comic books, and wanting to. Since I've watched Marvel Universe, it's like it goes into a deeper explaining of everything that happens. Oh yeah.
Speaker 1:They're not even like bad. I think there's a lot of people who still don't read comic books, but being able to say, yeah, I have these comic books doesn't feel as shameful as society once made it feel.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't know if you guys have felt that, but I definitely feel Well, I feel like comic books are just like okay, that's more like a reading aspect and a lot of people read and they don't consider that as like geeky nerdy versus. They walk into your room and it's like full of everything.
Speaker 1:Funko Pops posters collectibles.
Speaker 2:Versus just a few stacks of comic books that you have in the corner of your room that if someone walked in they would never see, and if you never said you read comic books, you wouldn't know. You know what I mean. Like I have, all I wear is Marvel t-shirts, star Wars t-shirts, geeky t-shirts so people know that I'm a geek when I walk out the door.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no, I, I, completely I. I agree to that aspect. You looked at, you know, we dungeons and dragons was one of those things that I wouldn't say it was dying, but it was very rare and solemn to see it really around as much as it is now, ever since Stranger Things.
Speaker 3:Stranger Things, the Dungeons and Dragons movies. They even have several shows on Netflix. The biggest thing would be Critical Role. There's a few other podcasts that.
Speaker 1:Dimension 20. Dimension 20.
Speaker 3:That's the one I was trying to figure out Dungeons and Daddies. Oh, dungeons and Daddies, we love that one.
Speaker 1:It really D&D has become such a mainstream thing as well. I believe geek culture is shifting tides uh. To go deeper into the geek culture outside of comic books and video games, look at uh. Or comic books and dnd.
Speaker 2:Look at video games I think some of it has to do with some of the stuff is when it's first sorted out, like Iron man and stuff. He's just building a metal suit and flying around, basically that's it, and then the fall. As we get into it we have more magical powers because Doctor Strange comes in Wanda. Then we have who else.
Speaker 1:Spider-Man.
Speaker 2:Spider-Man, he gets bit by a spider. So you have more thought out there, thor. You know. Thought out there that people think, or you know you got Wonder Woman, superman, batman the Flash. He gets struck by lightning, the arrow gets trapped on an island and then turns into DC.
Speaker 1:to what would you? Consider the Arrow.
Speaker 2:Yeah, starts out as a killer and then decides it's not a good way and decides to protect the city, you know? So I mean. And then they think, okay, well, that's weird, why would you want to watch that?
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, and that's the thing. Like dc took uh the tv uh or tv shows by storm, marvel took over movie cinematics by storm. I mean you were having two fronts of these massive dramas going on. And then you have podcasts like critical role. Who's taken over the internet for dnd stranger things? You have uh youtube. You know all these things are becoming more accurate and people of geek and nerd culture are taking we're taking over, you know, massive media fronts. Then you get into video games and even video games. Even in in uh schools have esports teams around around the united states.
Speaker 1:I mean when I was in high school. I would have killed for an esports team. I would have went to Halo. You know what I could have done with Halo at that time? I would have done some damage to some of those kids in high school if they put me on a Halo esports team. I was in hate clans on Halo doing massive battles and small tournaments when I was in 6th and 7th grade with like grown adults. I was a 7th grader in small tournaments online for these, for these teams.
Speaker 2:I couldn't tell people that, though I think some of it too could have told people that though I think some of it too is like the people that's not really into it sees you buying all this stuff and they think it's a waste of money. So they tell you like you could be buying on more productive things than what you're spending on.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:So you kind of get judged from that aspect too.
Speaker 3:Like I said, it just all goes back to your, your environment that you're in. Yeah, it was like back then. You know, your environment was they didn't have esports, it was all sports, normal sports. And now it's come into.
Speaker 3:They have esports and stuff esports esports yeah, esports, that's more common now in some. Some areas it's not very common still. So, like I said, it's your culture, it's your environment. It's just where you're at and how you're treated. Some people are treated, you know, terribly. Some people are treated wonderfully. Unfortunately, you know, some people are treated terribly, it's not fun.
Speaker 1:Sadly, I think a lot of people in the geek culture are treated terribly. I honestly think that I'm very open where I work, about what I enjoy, but there are times when I don't talk a lot about it because, even working with grown men, they still will. I mean, I'm doing the same job as them, I'm working the same thing. They are, they're nowhere different than what I'm doing. And there are some grown men who still have that view of oh well, that's immature or that's childish or you know, it is what it is. But I truly think, while geek culture is growing, at the same time it still has a lot of people pushing against it for multiple different reasons, different reasons. Uh, and I think that really affects, uh, the, the social aspect. I mean, being a geek, being a high functioning geek or nerd is is weird at times, you know growing up, not being accepted in a lot of stuff makes me very uncomfortable.
Speaker 3:Sharing my thoughts makes me very uncomfortable and anxious about sharing things that I enjoy and I just wait for everybody else to talk about. They wouldn't like what are you like? Oh, just fun stuff, like games, like know we have board games or something. I won't tell them a whole lot. People who are close to me that see me all the time they know I love Star Wars, they know I love Dungeons and Dragons, but I don't get into a lot of deep details about it. Growing up where it wasn't as accepted as environmentally acceptable still has an effect on me today as an adult. Um, I was the weird kid as at. You know, when I was little I was the weird kid. I was, you know I didn't have a whole lot of friends growing up. I had.
Speaker 3:I still don't have a lot of friends. No, you have five. You talked about this last one, yeah, anyway, but now it's becoming more socially and culturally acceptable to be a geek and everything and I love that and I'm so excited about that and it makes it so much easier. But still, past trauma makes it hard to talk about.
Speaker 1:And I definitely agree, and I feel like that affects so many more aspects than people realize, because it really you're hiding who you are.
Speaker 2:I was going to say it comes more down to being afraid to show your true self. Yeah, because of what people will say I think that really messes with people.
Speaker 3:I mean, even even now, like I still you don't want to be open and honest yeah, and it makes you feel alone and in the circles that you do find, where you can be open and honest, like us, when we're by ourselves and we're all together and we're having a good time. I have people on the internet I can share that with and I'm comfortable and I can tell them all about that and they they're excited for me and I'm excited for them and it's totally comfortable. But like outside world walking around, if you get excited, like about something, like if, like you, find a book you've been looking for, you go, yes, people look at you and stare at you weird at comic-con found the book. I really like. I went, yes, and everybody's like what do you got? This is like, this is cool Depends on your, like you said I've been saying this whole time, it depends on your environment, how you're treated. That's how you react.
Speaker 1:That's how you learn to adapt to everything that we have grown up with and have experienced. Growing up as a geek, I feel like it also makes dating harder. Now me and Stacy are married married. We dated for a little bit and we were just friends for the for a very long time. But I remember trying to date as a geek, as a nerd, throughout high school, throughout you you know middle school, throughout my college career, before I dropped out. It was difficult because people were really hard to talk to about what I was interested in, because it was almost a shameful experience.
Speaker 3:It was almost a shameful experience.
Speaker 1:You know and I don't know what your guys' I mean I know what Hannah's dating life has been like. I don't know what your dating life was like.
Speaker 3:First relationship really didn't last that long. I've only been in like three serious relationships. That includes you.
Speaker 1:I won. Suck it.
Speaker 3:It didn't last very long, but I think he was aware of what I liked and stuff. But it wasn't long. It was only a few months. The next one, we shared the same love as Star Wars. That's what basically bonded us and everything. So we had a bond there in that and then that lasted a couple of years and then that ended and then I decided it was easier to be single. So that's probably when I blossomed into my geekiness like everything, dating you, we again. So that's probably when I blossomed into my geekiness like, um, everything, um, dating you we again.
Speaker 3:That's basically what introduced us is, uh, our being geeks, um, being able to talk about it and compare stuff and enjoy and have conversations and you teaching me things and I teach you things about each other's geek life. You know we have more than just geekiness that we love about each other. It's just 90% of our personalities. Even today, like this is probably the hardest, even though this is our third technical episode. This is the hardest for me to do is talking about geek culture and how I've been accepted and rejected and stuff and how it has integrated into my life. Like I feel a little fearful about this episode. Just to be honest with you.
Speaker 1:It is hurtful and if you're not. But I feel like that's why it's so important, because I feel like people who are geeks or are nerds should know that they're not for one, that they're not alone. But it's also important that if you're not a nerd, that they're not for one, that they're not alone. But it's also important that if you're not a nerd, if you're not a geek, that you know, trust me, we, we see it. You're not hiding it. If you are a person who has looked at someone funny, I would bet money that they noticed it. I really do at At least one person. But it's important for us that people do know that one of the things with this podcast is to bring people in, that they have a new community.
Speaker 3:They have people who are like us, who see us, who you know I've never been to us with uh how their opinions, and we don't judge them for liking the thing you know, not just for liking the things or our opinions. Hopefully, um, but you know they don't have to fear there's a lot of rejection in geek culture.
Speaker 1:What is, what has it been like, cause you know you're currently single. What has it been like as a nerd, as a geek, in today's society for you?
Speaker 2:Well, I mean, I do think it would definitely be easier to find someone that you should have some interest in. I have not yet had that experience. Everybody that I've been with never really liked it. Like some of them was okay with it, like yeah, you want to go watch this movie? Sure, I don't really care, I have no idea what's going on, and I don't feel like it makes the experience as fun.
Speaker 2:You know what I mean? Like you're over here rambling about how excited and everything and then they're just like so today, you know, they just don't even, they don't care, and it doesn't make it as fun. And I mean that's not everything you have to have in common with someone. But I feel like it is a little harder to find someone that has the same interest, because it all boils down to the fact is, you're going gonna have to have someone that you share a common interest in and go, do fun stuff. You're not gonna enjoy everything that the other person does and everything like that. But I mean you have to have more than just one or two things in common to really. You know right make it work.
Speaker 2:But I mean, at the same time, I don't know, it's just, it can't be difficult, because you know some people think it's weird, or why do you want this? Or you know, okay, if we do get serious, whatever, you're not doing this anymore, you're not buying, you're not watching this, you know yeah, those have been fun.
Speaker 2:That's been fun to hear about is when people say you're not allowed to do this, no more like if you find someone that is more into the stuff you're into, you don't feel as lonely I would agree, yeah because you can excitedly share your stuff versus someone, like I just just said earlier, that doesn't even care and you're just listening because they feel like they have to and they just really simply want to tell you to stop talking about it and change the subject. Well, I don't want to go watch this movie, but if I tell her I don't want to be mad. So just go watch it, not really enjoy it or want to do it, but they just do it because they don't want to cause a fight or anything like that.
Speaker 1:On that note, Stacey, I have something to tell you.
Speaker 2:Oh God no.
Speaker 1:I do not want to watch Indiana Jones. Do not have an interest in Indiana Jones. I'm sorry to break it to you. Yeah, he doesn't want to watch Indiana Jones with me, which is fine. However, on that note, we have watched Indiana Jones together.
Speaker 2:We've watched two. Well, I mean, you don't have certain things. That's not always in common, and that's fine, that's fine.
Speaker 3:I mean because he likes a lot more animes than I do and I'm just like, yeah, you can watch it. And then he likes the video games that I don't like, like I and Hannah, and I'm not the biggest fans of Rainbow Six Siege.
Speaker 1:Rainbow Six Siege.
Speaker 3:Oh see, I don't even, I can't even do the thing. I apologize.
Speaker 2:Other words known as trash.
Speaker 1:Toxicity.
Speaker 2:Anger.
Speaker 1:Aggression. It's like a really bad power puncher Breaking your remote, throwing the keyboard. You threw the keyboard, no.
Speaker 2:Punching your screen, getting screamed at.
Speaker 1:Yeah, being cursed out for actively dying.
Speaker 2:Oof. Yeah, I also feel like Call of Duty is very toxic.
Speaker 1:Oh, it is.
Speaker 2:Very toxic.
Speaker 1:To go along with geek culture. Something to remember is your environment plays a big part of it, but your environment is not just outside, around everybody else. You have to remember that you have an environment inside. You have a culture that you're an environment inside. You have a culture that you're building inside where you live, inside your friend group. If you have friends who are just not nice about what you do, I'm sorry. You probably want to get better friends, you know, in all honesty, surround yourself with a culture that understands what you're into. They don't have to all be into the exact same things, but if they're just as supportive and enthusiastic about it as you are, surround yourself with them. I mean, it's better. I feel like that's important with geek culture.
Speaker 3:It's important with any culture. It's important for any culture. Yeah, it's important for being a human.
Speaker 1:You know, find your culture. If you're listening to this and you're not a geek, that's fine. You don't have to be a geek, you don't have to be a nerd. It is such a broad statement. I would go as far as to say people who are really into sports are sports geeks. You know, I mean, everyone is a geek. It's being really into stuff.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's true, but I just feel like when you say you're a nerd, you just get more. Okay, the weird, stay away.
Speaker 1:Versus like a sport nerd For us where we are, I feel like geeks are cool hipster kind of people, while nerds are the stereotypical TV nerds and some aspects. In some places, even an hour from where we currently are, nerd is like oh yeah, they're the cool nerds. And geeks like oh, those are weird, you got to stay away. I mean the term nerd and geek kind of flip flops depending on where you're at, but I think they both. If you're a nerd or geek, you are the word's one in the same. It's one in the same. In my opinion. You guys feel a little less alone. Hopefully. You guys kind of heard three random people on the internet's perspective of what geek culture is in our personal experience.
Speaker 3:We hope you feel a little less alone. We hope you have great experiences in your areas for your geek culture, um. Share your geek culture below. Tell us all about it if you want, or if you don't want to that that's okay too.
