Someone normal looking wearing clothing that references a nerdy hobby/interest: this person is self-confident enough to not be afraid to admit to having a nerdy side.
If someone seems extremely socially awkward and is wearing that kind of clothing it’s different. But if it’s someone who looks like a soccer mom but she’s wearing a Critical Role tee shirt, she’s cool. Or if it’s a guy who looks like a construction worker with an Anime character: nice one, dude.
