Let's be honest, nobody likes nerds, and the subcategories that come within, from comic and manga readers to gamers and cosplayers. So we are bound to be a social group highly by stereotypes and forever being treated as a sub-social group?

Only in high school is this really a concern. After your in college and later in life - NO ONE CARES. Heck for that matter the ones who would have given you grief in high school may be the ones calling you 'Sir' because they work for you. Most people grow up after high school. Note: I said MOST, not all. Some are perpetually stuck being jerks. If you're a nerd and a jerk, well then there is no hope for you.
