This slide is in response to all the nonsense circulating on the internet regarding fake geek girls. This is aimed at all the people who would judge us on our looks and try to force standards of geekyness on us.

There are no rules or standards of geekyness.Geek girls come in all shapes, sizes, and from all walks of life, and no one gets to tell us what we should look like. Geek girls are geek girls whether you like it or not, and we don't need to compromise for you.
