fans can't understand that something so pivot to their life was so trivial to someone else.
i feel this way about sports. i just don't care, i might pay attention if my local team is in the playoffs. most sports fans thing i'm an asshole and take personal offense to my lack of interest in sports.
it was especially bad in my working class home down where sports was basically a religion, so much so teachers would require you to go to sports games to get credit for class. it was absurd.
I meant the whole thing as a kind of rhetorical excercise, yes, I do understand why fans be doing fan stuff, haha!
I've been that way about a few things myself, I guess I am just trying to... offer a perspective that is hopefully a bit more grounded, a missive that a fan could read and maybe go... 'oh, im actually the comparatively weird one here'.
Not that theres anything inherently wrong with a 'weird' super fan... its just that if you lack self awareness of that, silly and stupid things begin to happen very fast.
But also yes dear god sports bros.
They fall into this just the same, many cannot concieve that a person could just not care about sports, as if that makes you a bad person.
But see again how its the lacking self awareness that they are fans that is the problem, it grows into a judgemental myopia.
