Very much agree with this, too. I have never understood that mindset-it's an extension of the whole thing with fans who get mad when something they like becomes popular and doesn't remain some obscure thing anymore. I get the appeal in a way of liking something that feels kinda like it's made just for you. And some things may be best enjoyed on a private, personal level for some fans, which is totally fine.

But I've lived in areas where, before the days of the internet, I sometimes had a very hard time finding people who liked a lot of the stuff I liked. I would've been THRILLED to find more people who enjoyed a TV show I was a fan of, or some band that had kind of a cult following, or whatever.

Heck, even now, while it's great that I can find other people online who share my interests, it's still fun when I can find someone offline in my area who's as big a fan of something as I am. It's a great chance to make new friends and hang out and bond over a shared interest. I don't get getting bent out of shape at the mere thought that other people might like and be fans of the same thing you like on a general level.
