There is a new show on Syfy that is
called Fangasm. And this show represents geeks being, well geeks. They are so
proud of everything they love. This show got my attention. But the more I
watched it, and the more I learned about reality television in class I started
to understand why this show grabbed my attention. Everything these people stand
for and believe in is so foreign to me, like if it was another culture. Duck
Dynasty, Honey Boo, and Real Housewives have that similarity in common. I cannot
stop watching because it is so different than my life style and that is one of
the main reasons that can draw you in.
But this reality TV show specifically
got my attention after Caleb had his discussion in class. Because I would have
had no idea what cosplay even meant. But in the show Fangasm it talked about
the issue of women being to revealing while they dress up in costume. And the
interesting part of this show is that it really gets the essences of a geeks’
passion in life. When they got to
pitch their own superhero to one of their role models, Stan Lee, I even got
excited for them.
This TV show represents a lot more
than a pretty girl in glasses, it shows the idea that the geek life is becoming
a culture. I was unaware of how much preparation it took to get ready for a
comic convention until I watched this show. I had no idea that LARP means live
action role-play. I love watching
the show and respect anybody who shows passion in what they love. I feel like
Fangasm shows a great representation of some geeks’ life style and help the
world understand geeks a bit better.
