Dr. Who. Star Trek. The Twilight Zone. The Night Stalker. Monty Python’s Flying Circus.Battlestar Galactica (the original series) E. E. “Doc” Smith. JRR Tolkien. David Eddings. Margaret Weiss & Tracy Hickman. Joseph Campbell. The Avengers(tv show and comic), Spider-Man, The Uncanny X-Men, DC’s Trinity and on and on and on. What do all of these pieces of geek-pop have in common? They were all generated from the minds of (mostly) white men.
Not that there is anything inherently wrong with this, but it begs the question: Do I actually like this stuff, or is it all part of some kind of indoctrination into the dominant culture?

I’ve always wondered about that with regards to myself. So I tend to not tell people if I’m watching it or not. Then I just watch what I want and decide from there. Nearly all the “fandoms” I haven’t started watching it until after a few episodes.
