This is such a retarded attitude that I only see on here and I have no idea where it came from. I think its honestly people internalizing TV stereotypes of "nerds" while missing the point. They werent dorks because they liked comic books or video games, they were dorks because they were obsessed with them to an unhealthy degree and had little else going for them in life.

This shit has always been present in popular culture, my dad went to college in the 1970s and he told me dudes in the dorms there would read X men comics and trade them around. Clearly my dad is not an incel considering I am alive. I'm a young millenial and in middle school kids were playing Pokemon off of Game Boy emulators on their jailbroken iPhones, lots of guys on the football team in high school would openly play Pokemon.

You didnt get bullied for liking things, you got bullied for being a loser. Think about the stereotype of the burnout who just plays CoD and Madden all day. Those are "chad" games yet nobody likes that guy.
