That little section to the left of DnD?
Cosplay.
To the right?
Furries.
at the intersection of escapism, nerd culture, and kink culture is ERP in WoW
Am furry can confirm this is kinda how it works lmao. Furries can also be massive nerds, but the horny and trauma can overshadow the nerd-outs (edit: the horny and roleplay help deal with the trauma).

Kink culture / nerd culture: Hentai
Escapism / trauma: Disassociation
Improper 4 circle venn diagram. Should look like this
Tbf you can’t make a proper Venn diagram with 4 circles
Rather cromulent Euler diagram, though

i assume being antisocial
