I actually came here to say it USED to be D&D, but now it seems like every time I bring it up it’s followed by a full conversation about either them playing as well, them wanting to play, or questions they’ve always had about the game. It’s a stark difference from what it was just 5 or so years ago.
It’s also hilarious every now and then you’ll get somebody that drank the whole pitcher of 70s anti-D&D koolaide and thinks it’s for devil worshiping or some shit like that…while their favorite movies are Lord of the Rings like that isn’t the same subject matter through a different medium.
Ugh, jealous. That’s only happened twice for me. To be fair, I’m of an age that I started with BECMI, followed by AD&D. Took a break and picked back up for 5e

Maybe it’s the age group…
