Ehm, so what?

People around me talk about stuff I'm not interested all the time. "Socially acceptable" subjects like sport, the renovations they did to their house, how their kids (that I don't know) are doing at school. Why the hell is it so much worse when people discuss something they love (I.e. fandom) because they might be a minority in loving it? Fuck it, they can listen to somehing I like for 10 minutes. I'm not going to discuss m slash pairing in detail, but yeah, I'll talk about my love for Marvel, or Doctor Who, or that I went to a con, or whatever.

I don't see how "socially acceptable" things are any different. Hell "regular" people discuss shows they watched so why is fandom so bad. I understand not getting into uncomfortable conversations with some people if they don't want. But fandom in general is not "omg embarassing"

and TBH I can't stand "*criiiiiinge* Let me be embarrassed for you because I think you should be" bullshit from rude people who just have to shove it in your face how they disapprove of what you enjoy.

No, you don't need to be fucking 'embarrassed for me' for talking about my hobbies and passions with people I know IRL. Take your shitty concern trolling and fuck off

[kallanda_lee]

Exactly - there is stuff that some fans do that I consider to be cringe-worthy, but simply talking about the subject? There's nothing inherently embarrassing about that.

[jaybie_jarrett]

Yeah.

Being someone who used to be horribly awkward before,I know what awkward and cringeworthy looks like.

[tabaqui]

And, hello - sometimes people talk about 'regular' stuff that's pretty fucking cringe-worthy, too.

[(Anonymous)]

It's not so much just that it's about fandom, but the way they talk about. Just really loud and overwater and trying to force it onto people who clearly aren't interested.

Plus a lot of talk about slash, how cute gay people are, and feels.

Re: OP

Agreed, OP, I can't handle it when people talk like run on tumblr hashtag rants in real life. So uncomfortable :(

Re: OP

Or talk about what their RP character did last night with their imaginary boyfriend like it was real people. Or what members of a popular pairing would get up to in bed. All at an incredibly loud volume as they can't control their voice when they get excited. Teenagers I could forgive but this is someone in their late 20s who really needs to control her volume or figure out acceptable subjects to shout about in a small cafe.
