I can definitely see why that would be off-putting. But even as a guy, the references alone just seem kinda... flat. Like if a random guy at the bus stop just started yelling "STAR WARS. NINTENDO. LORD OF THR RINGS. NICKELODEAN. PINEAPPLE. THIRTY NINE."

YES THIS. IT MADE ME FEEL LIKE MORE OF AN OUTSIDER AS A FEMALE NERD. LIKE I AM SOME UNICORN, BUT I HAVE TO ANSWER SPHINX QUESTIONS EVERY 5 MIN ABOUT OBSCURE TRIVIA

The dual role of the female nerd as imposter and masturbatory fantasy among the imaginations of a large swathe of male geekdom is incredibly fucked up, I'll give you that.

Both of you follow me. You have seen me do hot anime, hot tcg, and hot tabletop/boardgame takes, as well as programming shit. And this book made me feel invalid.

Like I literally only exist to meet a dude nerdy as me, and live "happily ever after" after he saves me from some shit. This narrative is bullshit.
