The Runway has changed over the years, and have more recently come to include the typical "Nerd" fashion. This include collared shirts, thick glasses, plaid, and suspenders. They have turned into "nerds ruling the world" but have changed the integrity. There are many people that now "ascribe" to nerd culture, when they are really just following the fad. What is worse, is that even when you are a part of it, a lot of times when you are female you are questioned.
It seems you wouldn't think females would be pushed out of something like this, but you would be surprised. I constantly find myself arguing and fighting over that fact that I know about something just because I am a girl, and don't "look" like the type who would know these things. But why is it we are constantly barraged about proving that we know that Khajiits are better in Skyrim than Dark Elves skill wise, or that in the comics Poison Ivy had much more than just a friendly relationship with Harley Quinn? Also yes, we know that Harley Quinn was created on television not the comics.
One time I was talking about how huge of a fan I was of Star Wars, and I had to say the phrase "Han Shot First" in order to "convince" the person I was talking to that I was a fan. Han shot first, is by the way, the most well known "conspiracy" if you so choose to call it, in the Star Wars Universe. Yet, we women are seen as knowing less knowlege about this culture than our male counterparts. This even branches into conventions and cosplay.
Female cosplay is not consent. Female cosplayers may have skimpy armor, and clothing that scantily wraps around their boobs, but that is not an invitation for you to barrage them with cat calls and complaints. Cosplay takes hours to create, and most of the time are 100% screen accurate. Video game creators, and costume designers in the fantasy realm are inclined to make women more scantily clad because sex sells. If Laura Croft was a human, she would have such back issues because her boobs would be hurting her like hell. So your Destiny armor may have taken a year to make, but Wizard, you should respect when someone made a screen accurate Katana, and made her own mask mold with a laser cutter.
I have nothing to prove to you whether or not I'm a "True" follower of nerd culture. Also, loving Wonder Woman isn't "mainstream" when you actually know sh*t about her, and it's not your fault she's an actual badass and the media in the 1960's made her a glamorous, skinny model. Because my outfit makes me feel powerful as well.
