musings on geek culture in the developing world

If your media consumption is sourced mainly from torrents or "buccaneers",
due to jacked-up prices from local distribution channels....

If there's never been an X-man or Avenger who shares part of your cultural background...

If you've ever been frustrated by a lack of official console network support in your region....

If you've wanted to see a protagonist from your home country who isn't an ascetic Zen warrior-poet,
a sagely mystical negro, or a green-skinned, electrified savage...

If you're hella fond of geek culture, in spite of all its lapses with regards to geography and trans/cultural identities...

This manifesto is for you.
