Geeks in Japan Are Lords in Maid Cafes.

In Japan, geeks are even treated like gods by cafes that specially cater to them:

Maid cafes dot Akihabara, which has become a second home for Tokyo’s "otaku" — roughly translated as "geeks." They’re known for their devotion to comics and computer games and can easily be identified by their standard outfit of track suit, knapsack and spectacles.

In the cafes, girls dressed in frilly frocks inspired by comic-book heroines wait hand and foot on customers, mostly male, who might have once been obsessed with naughty schoolgirls and nurses.
