What "nerd" community is left?

[Karha of Honor]

I don't think it's nerdom itself that changed all that much. As I was saying, it was just mainstream society that became more compatible with nerdom then since mainstream society was more ignorant and arrogant. It's a weird dynamic where nerdom is kinda defined by how estranged it is from mainstream society.

I was though talking about for a moment how like red pillers or gamer gatekeepers are pretty nerdy in the anti-social sense. Like they kind of generated the circumstance for themselves.

Media members on the other hand definning what is mainstream are raging machines of testosterone, their way of dealing with one another is an example of the idea of chivalry.

Women want to fuck them and men want to be them...

Every one of their key figures dropped into a 70s warehouse among some rough dock wokers would be embraced right away...

I'm not sure of yet as to how this is conducive to what I was saying. Don't get me wrong, I am trying. I am trying to find a center to things here, but it might take a few moments.

That being said, I don't think on a broad, general, and commonly understood level that mainstream is described with any degree of exclusivity among people, whether that be to some tune of elitism or otherwise esoteric and potentially out of touch fashion. Mainstream is commonly understood as what's commonly popular by sheer numbers.

There is a left-leaning bias, that I think is what you're getting at for some reason. A lot of Hollywood kinda passively resides on it and chimes in on safe issues of civil rights and what not. I would say there's a good deal or at least a several-degree of people that are really outspoken for the left (Alyssa Milano, Rosario Dawson, Mark Hamill, Chris Evans), where it doesn't seem to interfere much with their work as actors. Then you have more heavy positions by like Rose McGowan or maybe Ellen Page to a lesser extent.

Then you have the music industry that's just more hippy like with more of a love conquers all vibe that more so correlates with the left, to the point that Taylor Swift obviously leans Democrat. But less surprisingly also you have like Ariana Grande, Miley Cyrus, Nicki Minaj, and Cardi B who are outspoken for inclusion and acceptance.

None of these people would really be dragged out by like Robert DeNiro in his Taxi Driver days or anything. What were getting at really?

Given clearspira's definition that a nerd are those who face social alienation from others for their interests, and how that used to be sci-fi, it got me to thinking. As a huge anime fan in the 1990s, I realize the anime market in America during that time could also be considered the last bastion of "nerd" community. I mean, at the same people were subbing over VHS tapes and trading them to one another, sci-fi had become very mainstream, in no small part thanks to Star Trek, and Star Wars, and many more such works. But now, in the advent of some of the more popular dubs, I'd daresay even anime is no longer a bastion of "true" nerd community. So, what is? That's my question, and the discussion I hope to get going.

Anime Fandom is Less socially acceptable then it's ever been, since thanks to 4Chan everyone assume Anime Avatar=Nazi.

Well 4Chan is cesspool of internet so it's they fault that rest of us have bad reputation.

Is furry part of nerd culture? I mean it overlaps into other nerd things like scifi, fantasy, anime, and others. If so then its growing.
