Did nerds win? It all depends on what you constitute as a win.
Some things that were considered nerdy have indeed become more mainstream, or more accurate, they made it more commercially mainstream.
If you asked HS version of me, win condition would be that my abundant knowledge about various sf/fantasy/gaming/anime topics gets me laid with hot girl. As in - nerd stuff is sexy and attractive to girls.
My old ass current version doesn't really care if nerds win. While most of my friends do like nerd stuff, their love for it isn't their defining characteristic. It's just another hobby. Some go fishing, some go hunting, some play amateur futsal, some play tcg/ccg/ttrpg/board games.
Yeah a lot of this question is very much up for interpretation. What is a "nerd"? What constitutes a "win"? What does "did" even mean? If something becomes mainstream is it still nerdy?
When I asked the question it was kind of reactionary to me reading that people should stop complaining about certain things because "the nerds had already won". I felt that I disagreed. For me the nerds winning would be when people like teenage me wouldn´t be bullied in schools anymore for being "different". This is something I do care about, wishing future generations of nerds wont have to deal with more social anxiety than anyone else.
