The Geek Subgenre Social Acceptability Scale
via The Socially Acceptable Geek Subgenre Scale - Geek scale - Gizmodo
if you'd like, go ahead and post which one(s) you'd consider to be seen as after you read the article. I'll be honest, other than being or thinking about becoming a furry, over the past three years I've dabbled in each subgenre portrayed. I'm too lazy and noncommital to ever be obsessed enough to stay in one category for very long. Enjoy.

If I had to pick one out, it would be Music Geek.
I'm glad I can look down on Furries.

Wow. um... I'm definitely a geek, and I'm nowhere in that spectrum. I must be an utterly socially unacceptable-type. I'd better keep my obsession with Star Wars under wraps.

I'm such a hybrid it isn't funny.
