Anastasia Salter and Bridget Blodgett critique both gendered depictions of geeks, including shows like Chuck and The Big Bang Theory, and aspirational geek heroes, ranging from the Winchester brothers of Supernatural to BBC's Sherlock and the varied superheroes of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Through this analysis, the authors argue that toxic masculinity is deeply embedded in geek culture, and that the identity of geek as victimized other must be redefined before geek culture and media can ever become an inclusive space. 000827523 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000827523 650_0 $$aMasculinity. 000827523 650_0 $$aGender expression. 000827523 650_0 $$aCyberbullying. 000827523 650_0 $$aOnline hate speech. 000827523 650_0 $$aInternet$$xMoral and ethical aspects. 000827523 7001_ $$aBlodgett, Bridget,$$eauthor. 000827523 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aSalter, Anastasia, 1984-$$tToxic geek masculinity in media : sexism, trolling, and identity policing.$$dCham, Switzerland : Palgrave Macmillan, [2017]$$z9783319660769$$w(OCoLC)1014340422 000827523 852__ $$bebk 000827523 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-66077-6$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000827523 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:827523$$pGLOBAL_SET 000827523 980__ $$aEBOOK 000827523 980__ $$aBIB 000827523 982__ $$aEbook 000827523 983__ $$aOnline 000827523 994__ $$a92$$bISE
