It's also an age thing - I mean every fandom has Those Fans, but in general being a fan of something and buying / wearing merch is now nbd. Nerd's gone mainstream.
Back when those terms were coined? Sooo not the case. Like, it could literally get you beaten. Wild times.
That's what I'm sayin'! It took me so long not to reflexively whip around to see who said "nerd" and would there be a slap fight. 🤪
