mainstreamed
Brought into convention
Mainstreamed describes something that has been brought into the mainstream—made conventional, widely accepted, or standard.
In education, a mainstreamed student with disabilities is placed in regular classrooms rather than separate programs: The district mainstreamed special-needs children into general education.
More broadly, ideas or practices once considered fringe can be mainstreamed: Social media has mainstreamed conspiracy theories.
