Tabletop games are still nerdy because most people are too dumb and impatient to learn alot of rules.

This is what nerds asked for 20~ years ago, and you know what, it is for the better because in an alternate reality, comics/anime/video games/internet is still considered nerdy and people will still be bullied, ridiculed, and humiliated for their activities while they hope one day that maybe, just maybe their hobbies will be considered normal so future generations don't have to put up with mean people and are able to read their comic in peace.

I don't think comic books are that mainstream but gaming kinda is. Especially now with smartphones, mobile gaming is the most popular. One of my friends back in school had no interest in games and now he's addicted to PUBG and is a total nerd.

Comics are like 10x less popular now than they have ever been.
It's such a weird thing to see when people say they're mainstream "now". Comic books were a pretty big entertainment medium up until maybe 15 or 20 years ago? The rise of video games brought down comic books and toys. I can't stress this enough, but most people are not going to bully you because you like something, it's usually about how fucking weird you are about it. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I wouldn't call anime "mainstream" but it also isn't like super obscure either.
It's just that most people probably have a casual interest in anime so they don't bring it up. It's like when people found out Bill Burr liked One Punch Man and got super fucking weird with him and he had to be like "I just like this show, chill out." --- The personal is the political is a totalitarian progressive decree that I reject entirely. ...
