The same applies to people who enjoy things like D&D, Star Trek, etc. Why the bad rep towards comic enjoyers?

probably pretty fit. Most people on 4chan are conservative and most conservative people value things like health and exercise.
The nerd stereotype is true but its mostly people you'll finding on reddit or tumbler.

Because of me personally. I singlehandedly as such a incel virgin freak that by liking comics I have caused a retroactive timeline shift that made all other comic readers be seen as virgin losers.
My bad niggas.

It’s weird because cape/D&D/ Star Trek-Wars/ etc are hugely mainstream. Even stuff like tech gets the virgin label when 99% of all businesses now rely on them.

I mean, is it incorrect?
I love comic books, but the people I see reading or talking about them, buying them in stores, are usually a mix of fat, autistic, nerdy, and obsessive.
Some more than others, of course.

Given that most comic book readers are legacy readers from decades prior, the 'nerdy' look doesn't really show through a lot.
But still, it's there. There are plenty of less-exaggerated forms of Comic Book Guy from the Simpsons.

>Same applies to D&D
Similarly most people who love DnD and play that a lot are nerds. They look weird, frequently are autistic.

>Star Trek
While the average Star Trek fan isn't obsessive, and just loved that TV show; in which case the most accurate depiction of a Star Trek enjoyer would be a normal dad, those who are 'Trekkies' and love to go to conventions or write fan fiction (fun fact, mainstream modern fan fiction began through Star Trek) those people again fit this stereotype.

Also worth noting is how all of these things were really associated with nerds during the 80s and 90s, which are still a huge foundational piece of our pop culture. Then was the beginning of 'nerd culture' built mainly around Table-Top PRGs, Star Trek, and superhero comic books. Which is probably why these are still seen in pop-culture as young people hobbies, even though increasingly they are being done mainly by middle-aged men and women.

Because people are stupid, tribalistic, and want the world to be a simple place. When you can separate everyone into "good group" and "bad group", the world seems nice and simple. Americans have the added bonus of being extra retarded, so even with all the guilt-tripping they've been doing to themselves the last few decades, the only thing they really learned was "you can't ostracize people who are socially unacceptable to ostracize, but everyone else is fair game"

I don't know about that.
Among the people who think that being opposed to anime/manga is lame, they won't question reading western comic books, even those about superheroes.
In general we're in a more tolerant age about this sorta thing, anyone who looks down on others for playing DnD or reading comic books would be seen as weird and judge-y.

Cause those things were considered by the normals to be fandom subcultures to be shunned and/or mocked for being immoral or of no intrinsic value. That's it. Many of them do have plenty of manchildren in them, but just as many have functioning adults who treat them rightfully as just side hobbies. But try telling that shit to the average normie, see how far it gets you.

99% of women and low IQ men feel uneasy around intelectual men. They feel offended or threatened when you can have fun on your own with just mag or a video game. It's not rational but emotional.

Only if you don't like Dragin Ball and maybe Naruto. non-otaku girls who dislike those shows do it from seeing them as a boy thing like Football (soccer for Americans). At most the stigma among normies of better known shows (Spy X Family, KnY Dragon Maid, JoJo just to say something) puts you in the same place as a Disney adult.
But then go outside and say you like anything else I dare you
