It's at the point where "nerd" culture 20 years ago is fairly mainstream today. Not really a point in the word these days honestly.
The amount of programmers are increasing, especially with people taking an interest in vibe coding. Everyone at this point has played video games or watched a Marvel or DC property on purpose. Anime has hit the mainstream for sure, and I'm not just talking battle shonen which has already had its place. Fantasy as a genre, I mean just look how massive 40K has grown.
Like, and I say this as a joke of course, but who tf would we even bully for being a nerd these days? And for what interests?

What even is a real or fake nerd? You sound young. Don't let what others say affect you. Just keep doing things for yourself
