"nerd culture" is not about what but how.

There were popular D&D shows already in the 80s.

Most comic book movies are simply bad, and "real" nerds hate them.

No nerd loved the last Star Wars trilogy or Rings of power or Wonder Woman 1984 or the nth spider-verse repetition, mostly because studios take something popular among nerds and change it to please modern audience which is exactly what's wrong with the so called "nerd culture" today: it's not a culture.

This. Also, the term "roguelike" for action-adventure games. FFS, if you play a roguelike like Slashem you will know all of these "roguelike" wannabe's have nothing to do with the genre. There are just rehased Zelda-likes with permadeath.
