"Fake" Gamer Girl Annihilates Chode

Let me paint a picture for you. You're in a coffee shop queue and a moderately attractive girl walks in.She steps into line behind you and she's wearing a Bioshock Infinite t-shirt. Do you:
a) Ignore her and get back to impatiently jonesing for your next hit of espresso?
b) Strike up a conversation with her about your favourite hobby?
c) Harass her for no apparent reason and assume things based on her gender?

If  your answer is c) then we're not going to get along (guess what the c stands for). Because c) is exactly the scene that played out in a Sydney café just 4 days ago. And how did this "fake geek girl" respond to this harassment? I'll let her tell you in her own words.

Snarky guy in coffee queue eyes off my Bioshock Infinite t-shirt, suggests I "probably haven't even played it". So I told him the ending.

Now, this isn't new. Assholes have been testing girls geek credibility at con's for as long as there have been girls at cons. But when this kind of thing just starts happening in random places in the street you have to wonder what the fuck is going on.

My take, the boys (emphasis on boys here) feel their club house has been overrun and are getting more and more defensive. The more accepting of the changes to the demographics the community becomes, the more vocal the minority of opposition seems to become. To the point of actually harassing girl gamers in public places based on t-shirt choices.
