Depends on what your definition of fandom is also who you are talking about it with. Because talking about films, tv and video games are all socially acceptable things to talk about. Even going into the more in depth discussions is cool, talking about shipping is slightly more iffy, but depending on what you ship and how you talk about it, nothing wrong with that.

Fanart and things you read on the internet is also topics you could talk about in a normal social setting without sticking out much.

Fanfiction and cosplaying are the first two I can think of that you might not want to be talking too deeply about so everyone could hear about it, but even that is dependent on which topic and setting you are in and talking about.

It also is dependent on which vocabulary you use, some words and phrases belong on the internet, some concepts have to be explained in a different way and some stuff is just not things you talk about in a social setting. But that is not just fandom stuff, bodily functions, family problems, personal issues and political/religious discussions are also something that should be done in a small social setting.

Well said! You're right, I think. Lots of people talk about films, tv, etc on a regular basis with people who know nothing about fandom, and I don't see how discussing media at length is embarrassing. It's okay to be passionate about things you like. And hell, even if people want to say, "You know, I really like *insert couple here*", I don't see the problem with that. You don't even need to mention 'shipping', you can just mention that you like the dynamics between the characters. If they get it, they get it, if they don't you 'played it safe'.

Now if you bring up A/B/O in casual conversation...dear god. That would most likely be awkward, yes.

Hmm, might be a good way to escape from that boring date/school-reunion/family get-together...;) Thanks for the tip!

Anything to be of service!

^This.
It is completely in how you talk about fandom/anything you like/anything at all, not the fact that you're talking about it.
