I
think part of the mentality has to do with the fact that girls, as
geeks, still feel like they have something to prove. Look at what's been
done to female gaming figures in general (hello, Morgan. Nice to know
they don't give you good games to review anymore and stick you in tight
miniskirts and go-go boots every episode). For a long time, anime, video
games, etc. were primarily the domain of men and now that it's more
"acceptable" for girls to be involved in such hobbies, they have to
somehow prove that they're not just at it for the attention, while
simultaneously asserting that they're still feminine and not one of
those horrible, butchy-tom-boys.
It's kind of like how when a
girl used to get on the internet, one of the first things she'd do was
declare her gender to the forum or chatroom at large. If a girl goes to a
convention, the first thing she's going to do is establish her geekery
in as big and bold a fashion as possible, but still maintain her "I'M A
GIRL!!" status.
**Note, not saying this applies to every girl at a
convention or enjoys geeky hobbies, it's just my theory as to why
female weaboos tend to be the more aggressive/visible of the species. |
