Let's put it this way, I'm geeky because I watch anime, I'm geeky because I program computers, I'm geeky because I've been learning to hack roms (IE SNES games, or, in particular, a nintendo DS game), and I'm geeky because I enjoy (and am trying) to make AMVs. Geekieness can come from many things, and generally, geeks are not limited to any one geeky thing, therefore most geeks are geeks for a variety of reasons.

I must say, the author started in about the .ORG and I was like, SSSSHHHHHH!!! DAMNIT, SHUT UP!!
Oh, and I am a geek. I don't look like one (folks are always shocked to their shoes when they find out my dirty little secret), but I am. I was a geek before AMVs or anime ever entered my life, and I will be after they leave it, so that's that. This hobby certainly exacerbates the geekiness, but it's not yet leaving a physical stamp of geekiness on me. Unless the wrist brace I wear while mousing counts. hrm...
Besides, note that the article doesn't say "geeky" it says "dorky." But whatever. Like Driftroot, I was a nerd/dork/geek (in that order) way before I saw a real anime. BUt if you really look at it in a fuzzy logical sense, we are all dorks and not dorks simultaneos. Everyone's relative levels of DORKiness to NOT-DORKiness is different, but I think we can all agree about which way our scales are tipped...
God, waste not an angel on me.

I commented to her (on livejournal) comment in the interview about "most people in vidding are female" that well most amvers are male and in my head that just evened things out. But that was the only part of her interview I disagreed with...dokidoki wrote:For comparison purposes (ie: it's semi-off-topic, but more on-topic than some of these replies), here's a recent New York Magazine article interviewing vidder Luminosity:

She said back to me that she was talking about vidding and not amving, and thats why she said it that way.
and I replied that maybe it's because I do both, that it's all the same to me :3
yay internet semantics :3
Stalk me?

I'd say it's a 3:7 or 4:6 split. It's not 50%, but I'm not sure if the implications of "most" really apply here.JaddziaDax wrote:most amvers are male
Men just seem to yell on the forums more so you're more aware of their stupidness. There's also the "every woman on the internet is actually a man" thing working against your perceptions in this hobby.
23:19 (snip) I actually agree with everything quadir says.

Mostly casual/family games. My co-workers are working on this, though. (the environment in that video is rather plain compared to the other levels I've seen)Douggie wrote:now tell me what games you've worked on!

from my experience with the sci-fi vidding scene, most of their editors are female. Was kinda surprising considering the AMV scene where males are more dominate. I made the mistake of continually assuming editors I was speaking to, without specifically male-ish nick names (ie. After Thought), were male rather than female.JaddziaDax wrote:I commented to her (on livejournal) comment in the interview about "most people in vidding are female" that well most amvers are male and in my head that just evened things out.
