I don't think identity labels are bad BTW. Identity labels serve a lot of useful social functions which are hard to replace. It's just that taking them too seriously seems to be a very cringe failure mode.
I'm a little worried I've reinvented the "Fake Geek Girl" concept as most of the examples I can think of doing this are women. There are guys who are clearly a bit too into being geeks, but their identity isn't challenged so they don't need to perform it.https://twitter.com/GeniesLoki/status/1305033957713612800 …
I think @Tipsycaek has convinced me that the "mostly female examples" thing is idiosyncratic to my social circle and this is totally a thing guys do too.https://twitter.com/Tipsycaek/status/1305043973946314755 …
yea i think your filtering might be off cuz while fake geek girl is a more legible character type i have a much stronger association between op behavior and dudes
Interesting. This might just be a function of how I filter my social circle then, or maybe we're pointing at slightly different things.
Fake geek girls hinge on the assumption that the person in question is making a false claim, but you said "if you're also a geek", suggesting latent acknowledgement.
also it's worth noting that being challenged on one's identity will put someone in the stress-activated "performing for a test" mindset, which is somewhat notorious for degrading performance astoundingly.
I have know guys who think they are geeky and aren't but they didnt try to sell it that hard. He'll, I've tried to sell my identities hard though and I'm sure I looked like a dork. I've known maybe exactly one woman who wanted to be a geek and wasn't.
