The Geek Hierarchy
So a bunch of us Mixologists were having dinner in a suburb of Chicago having what EIC Gold claims are the best hamburgers in the world (pretty good, but that’s another post) and we started talking about who looks down on whom — Doctor Who fans looking down on Dark Shadows fans, who in turn look down on Forever Knight fans, and so on — and I mentioned that the Geek Hierarchy already existed. Multiple Michaels Davis, Gold, and Raub were all disbelieving that such a hierarchy existed, let alone that it had standing.
Doubt me, eh? Gentlemen… this link is for you. Presenting The Geek Hierarchy. (All ComicMix readers can elevate themselves one level on the chart.)

I think that given today's cultural climate Video Gamers would look down on just about everybody on that chart, instead of being stuck below Sci-Fi authors.
