So, I do kinda wanna ask you,

you know, I have you here now.

I keep hearing this thing bandied around

that kind of makes me a little bit upset.

Okay.

When I hear people accusing others

of being fake geek girls.

Oh, this topic? Okay.

[Chris] Yeah, I'm sorry to, I don't know, I've...

She's overjoyed to discuss this again.

You seem so happy to discuss this.

(Veronica laughing)

Maybe I've walked into a minefield on this one.

It's kind of a minefield.

I think it's silly.

Geeks, and nerds,

and people who love this kind of content,

people who love video games, and comic books,

and sci-fi fantasy novels, and all that great stuff.

We love it because we're passionate about it,

and I think to judge other people

who want to get into that kind of content,

and keep them out of it, like,

I don't think that's fair.

I think, you know, if we love it,

we should be willing to share it

with the rest of the world.

Well, there's almost a defensive exclusivity.

It's an extension, weirdly, of a hipster mentality.

Oh, we were here first.

[Veronica] Right.

We've got cred, we already planted this flag.

If we see you as a newcomer...

Ignoring the fact that, for example,

I was on your your gdgt.com profile,

and you have owned every Nintendo console ever made.

(Veronica laughing)

Obviously a Coleco.

No Atari, but I'll take that up with you another time.

No, I was on Team Coleco.

I do actually have fond memories

of playing Cabbage Patch Kids

on Coleco at a friend's house.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Actually, I'm pretty good, I'm gonna say, at Smurf.

[Veronica] Nice.

(upbeat music)
