Why do comic fans get stereotyped so much?

A friend linked me to this yesterday, and I just had to share. Written and drawn by some guy who works in a comic book shop, Our Valued Customers is a webstrip in which he quotes actual things he's heard his customers say.

Would I be awful to admit...

[roguefankc]

I actually participated in a verbal sparring in my LCBS with a girl 10 years ago over whether Angel or Spike was the better person suited for Buffy? XD

I was defending Angel, she was defending Spike. And though it wasn't heated or violent, I had to admit it was entertaining to argue and debate over it and refer to past episodes of the TV show as evidence.

And then an Angel/Buffy/Spike OT3 shipper showed up, and there was pandemonium? (I would volunteer to play that role in a heartbeat, if need be.)

By all means, we'd welcome the discussion. =)

I repeat: when it's not violent or heated, it's actually fun bouncing back and forth ideas and viewpoints and trying to debate our favorite shows and comics.
