Kinda yeah, also those kids weren't normies
>>48922095
Normies is a stretch. There was a bigger board game culture then before computers. It essentially grew out of that.

This is purely anecdotal, but many, many people I've spoken to would say "oh, I played that a couple times", or "my brother was into that, so I played in middle school--by high school I was more interested in partying".

They were normies?
Perhaps the problem is not with the portrayal, perhaps the problem is with you.
Perhaps you're so fucked up that everyone else looks like a normie to you.

hint: you can't tell a normie by looking.
they are nerds, but back then, nerds dressed like everyone else did.

Back then TSR sold millions of Red Box Basic sets at places like Toys'R'Us and department stores. It was a big fad for a couple of years, and parents were buying it for their kids.
I don't remember there being a stigma of "those D&D nerds" for another five years or so, until 1987 or thereabouts.

>normies
Those kids have some really solid nerd-cred for their age, and are literally bullied in school.
I don't even want to know what it takes to be a non-normie in your eyes.
>>48922095
video games were shitty and expensive and nerds still could read.

Not him, but a normie is anyone more socially successful than you. Also anyone less socially successful than you is a basement-dwelling virgin.
