I was hanging out with a friend once and we were geeking out over Game of Thrones, Thundercats, and some kind of anime that I can’t remember now. Then I asked him if he wanted to join my monthly RPG game, I think my cohort was playing Vampire the Masquerade at the time. He looked me, looked intensely serious and a bit judge-y, and said something to the effect of that being “too geeky” for him. So apparently there are levels of geek and even some geeks are embarrassed by things that are “too geeky”?
