The MCU, Star Wars, video games and arguably Dungeons & Dragons (but not RPGs in general). However if you dig deep, there are a lot of "nerdy" hobbies that still get those reactions from people. Talking about Magic the Gathering or Warhammer 40k is still often met with blank stares IME (though this supposed Amazon show might change that). Even within certain properties I see that division. As somebody said, everyone knows the movies, but if you start talking about Marvel comics you lose people. I find video games extends as far as whatever action/fps game is trending on the "adult" consoles (PlayStation, Xbox) but if you start waxing poetic about Nintendo people find that strange, childish almost.</blockquote>
