A friend who's both an RPG gamer and anime fan passed this on to me, and I thought fellow forumites might find it amusing since it covers several points discussed in one thread or another in these forums:
Geek Hierarchy Chart As someone who goes at least a couple of steps down in multiple columns, I found this quite funny (especially the bottom entry) and more than a little accurate. |

I go a few steps down in gaming, anime, and SF books. Does ANYONE still use the term Japanimation though??

I go down only a few steps in multiple columns--although there was a point in my life where I went WAY down the comic book column all the way to "only reads X-men spinoffs." Thank god I got over that.

Too funny!
Though it doesnt show how the "geekdom" relate to one another outside of their own little clicks. They seemed to have forgotten the star wars demography as well. The Trekies vs Star Wars has been a big one for well over 20 years now. |

Hmm, I remember bringing this chart up a while. Personally I like it with the music. There are also different versions of it.

What's SCA stand for? I know I've heard of it before, but I can't remember what it means?

Hmm. I hadn't seen that second one. Oh dear... I like Morning Musume. That apparently makes me terribly pathetic.

I'm several boxes on that top row, but I don't go down much further than that.
I mean, technically I still like Pokemon, but just for nostalgia and my sister's sake. I don't watch it of my own free will.

Ah yes, the good ol' SCA, how nostalgic.  I was there for a while but also lost interest after a while. Although I'd love to go back sometime just to do fencing again, that was fun.
Anyways, I'm only like, the first step on some of the others, but on video games and anime in particular I go practically all the way down (by far not 13 years old, but definitely was a gamer at that age though ) as all those things pretty much pertain to me. And with comic books I only go as far as "Only reads superhero comics," but that's still pretty far down there.

I still use Japanimation when people try saying shows like Avatar or what the what not are anime, or that anime in Japan simply means animation, as in any Disney feature film. Using Japanimation specifically means animation of/from Japan and anyone should know exactly what that means.

So that explains it. The recreational activities of the intellectually gifted, the socially inept and everyone in between all fail compared to the mighty fchan.

Hahaha, I only go down to the first level in the anime column... But I go down (well, used to) in the gamer column (13 year old, lol), the Heinlein (crap, my collection of Star Trek novels...), and down to the second in the SF TV column (again, Star Trek). Mid-level geekiness, I suppose.
...On the Japan-hierarchy one... Anime conventions, self-identifying as otaku, and... School uniform fetish means that I'm pretty bad already.

lol, what the heck are "furries?"
I only go down to RPG gamers, anime fans who insist on subs, and Sci Fi TV fans. I don't know what half of that stuff is |

So if I write Furry Fanfic and place myself into it, everyone looks done on me? Damn, it wasn't only my therapist who thought something is wrong with me.
Anyhow, I guess I'm not that geeky at all, the furthest down would be the "Role-playing-gamer". Needs some serious work. Edit: My trusted information source says this about furries: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Furry |
