A feminerd is a feminist nerd — particularly a woman who combines enthusiasm for geek culture (sci-fi, gaming, comics, tech) with a strong feminist perspective on representation, inclusivity, and the treatment of women in those spaces. The term is largely self-applied and worn with pride. Feminerd communities push back on gatekeeping, call out misogyny in fandom, and insist that yes, women can love Star Wars and also notice when the writers keep killing the female characters.
The panel on women in game design was packed with feminerd energy — sharp, passionate, and done being polite about it.
