I entered this scene through rejection and honesty.

0:00:09.000,0:00:13.000
Nerds weren't mean they were weird and that worked for me.

0:00:13.000,0:00:18.000
After 10 years of teasing when social skills failed me

0:00:18.000,0:00:22.000
Dungeons and Dragons cured all that ailed me.

0:00:22.000,0:00:24.000
We read books, we played games,

0:00:24.000,0:00:27.000
we made art, we watched Lost,

0:00:27.000,0:00:32.000
we said things like d20, shipping and mana cost.

0:00:32.000,0:00:34.000
It felt good to be myself.

0:00:34.000,0:00:35.000
Not being mocked.

0:00:35.000,0:00:41.000
Still self-concious though, we whispered things about jocks.

0:00:41.000,0:00:45.000
But one day you grow up, come into your own.

0:00:45.000,0:00:50.000
Now geek's not rejection, it's a label I own.

0:00:50.000,0:00:54.000
Then ignornant haters come to prove me wrong.

0:00:54.000,0:00:59.000
Tell me I'm not nerdy enough to belong.

0:00:59.000,0:01:02.000
(rising music)

0:01:02.000,0:01:06.000
I've got nothing to prove.

0:01:06.000,0:01:11.000
I've got nothing to prove.

0:01:11.000,0:01:15.000
I've got nothing to prove.

0:01:15.000,0:01:20.000
(rising music)

0:01:20.000,0:01:23.000
Fake geek girl test, that's a funny one,

0:01:23.000,0:01:29.000
go ahead, how many comic books are there I haven't read?

0:01:29.000,0:01:33.000
I know it feels good to have a contest you win.

0:01:33.000,0:01:38.000
It would feel even better, if I wanted in.

0:01:38.000,0:01:43.000
So women aren't geeks, is that your conclusion?

0:01:43.000,0:01:47.000
That this is some secret club based on exclusion?

0:01:47.000,0:01:52.000
12 year old dorks would say "you're being selfish",

0:01:52.000,0:01:57.000
and then they'd go write in their journals in Elvish.

0:01:57.000,0:01:59.000
(rising music)

0:01:59.000,0:02:03.000
I've got nothing to prove.

0:02:03.000,0:02:08.000
I've got nothing to prove.

0:02:08.000,0:02:13.000
I've got nothing to prove.

0:02:13.000,0:02:36.000
(instrumental)

0:02:36.000,0:02:40.000
I've got cred but honestly I shouldn't need it.

0:02:40.000,0:02:44.000
This world needs all kinds of folks to complete it.

0:02:44.000,0:02:49.000
You've got gamers and artists and comic subscribers,

0:02:49.000,0:02:54.000
cos-players, crafters and fan-fiction writers.

0:02:54.000,0:02:58.000
You can stop: never say "fake geek" again.

0:02:58.000,0:03:03.000
Our club needs no bouncers, all who want in get in.

0:03:03.000,0:03:07.000
But go ahead if you want to own that role fully.

0:03:07.000,0:03:12.000
I ain't got nothing to prove to a bully.

0:03:12.000,0:03:14.000
(rising music)

0:03:14.000,0:03:19.000
I've got nothing to prove.

0:03:19.000,0:03:24.000
I've got nothing to prove.

0:03:24.000,0:03:28.000
I've got nothing to prove.

0:03:28.000,0:03:33.000
(rising music)

0:03:33.000,0:03:37.000
I've got nothing to prove.

0:03:37.000,0:03:42.000
I've got nothing to prove.

0:03:42.000,0:03:46.000
I've got nothing to prove.

0:03:46.000,0:03:49.000
(rising music)

0:03:49.000,0:03:55.000
Haters are gonna hate!
