Back when Moldbug was writing, and even moreso during his formative years, "nerd" culture still belonged to ugly outcasts (people who looked like Moldbug, basically) and was un-PC in a snickering, sarcastic manner. Employing geek terminology was a secret handshake thing. Many old head rightoids were and still are huge sci-fi fans.

This was completely reversed over the course of the 2010s with the diversity squad seizing control over "fandoms". The neckbeards that didn't fall in line were purged from this new normie-friendly environment.

It's interesting to note that zoomers have probably always associated the big sci-fi/fantasy/comic book franchises with this latter crowd, and how there is no real hoe-scaring "alternative"/underground culture for them except to donate to Nick Fuentes or something.
