"Come on, don't act like people that aren't involved in fandoms at all aren't massively judgmental and weirded out by outward expressions of fandom."

Oh they are. I just think it's stupid to be judgmental at least.

It's one thing to be sympathetic to their situations. But it's another when people are going "Ugh, they shouldn't do that, Fandom should be kept to fandom". That's honestly what I see a lot.

That's not what secondhand embarrassment is, though. The secondhand embarrassment comes from putting yourself in the other person's shoes and imagining the feelings they're going through when they're stared/laughed at, and inwardly being like "yep, not something I'd do myself, 'cause geeeeez."

They can do whatever they like, and more power to them if it doesn't bother them (though, in my experience, it almost always does-- or they're so socially unaware that they don't notice in the first place), but it makes me cringe real hard.
