Another data point: I enjoy watching sports, am largely ignorant of science fiction (dislike Star Trek and Star Wars, if the latter can be counted as sci-fi), actively dislike fantasy, anime and Harry Potter (while being largely ignorant of them either). I am not sure what D&D means. Still, I have no problem with LW, and I even don't think that I have some special ability to ignore unpleasant signals. Those nerdy symptoms are present, but they are very rare and not salient.
