Male geekdom, annoying fangirls, and the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy

…there’s a vast, vast network of fans who adored the Star Wars prequels, but they don’t tend to get talked about in the media or featured on the TV shows because they’re girls, fangirls no less, and female geekery is seen as frivolous or annoying whilst male geekery is seen as something valuable.

From this
surprisingly popular post…has finally risen An Actual Article. And it
features quotes from you guys! A whole lot of them! As much stuff as I
could pack in. Go check it out if you’re so inclined!

holy *shit.* i just read your post abt the pt and… it changed my life. i was on tf.n after RotS came out! but I’ve since grown so Bitter about the PT- which i will love FOREVER, but I’ve only been able to poke at it and recognize how horribly everything was handled, but you have shed SO MUCH NEW LIGHT and I am so, so excited to rewatch with a new perspective. thank you. from the bottom of my Apailana loving heart. -truthtruthlie

This is one of the nicest messages I’ve gotten ever? :D

Thank you so very much! I read all your messages and I’d totally love to hear more for the article I’m doing, but if not that’s fine too! I’m SO PLEASED that female Star Wars fans dig that post! If I could’ve chosen any Star Wars post to take off it would have been that one so I’m so happy it did!
