It's true that the comments like "Oh, it's only $20 (US) that's so cheap" get annoying fast if you're in a country with relatively low purchasing power and income (or live somewhere where merch involves huge shipping fees, if you can get it at all). But I can't think of many media fandoms where money is a requirement of being involved beyond being online sometimes? Gacha games maybe? There's definitely fandom activities where money is highly relevant like cosplay or musicals that aren't available elsewhere or anything else with live events or travel required. But I'd be super interested to know what fandom is less available in its home country than it is to wealthier people overseas.

OP here - I was thinking of games. Even purchasing a system can be expensive depending on where you live. Where I live, it's difficult to play even mobile games, because cheaper phone models that are widely manufactured and sold here don't run many popular games. The reason being: mobile games rarely last long, and they may use an average system's resources to their maximum when they are released. This "average system" is of course much better than a cheaper model's. By the time I am able to play the game, 1-2 years after it's been released, very often either nobody is talking about it anymore OR it's already shut down.
It's not too different for systems like Playstation or Switch, I can't afford them. Or even a good gaming PC.

But even so, books can be pretty expensive depending on where you live, too, and libraries aren't available everywhere. As for TV, (movies, shows, cartoons) if you have a good Internet connection and a device to watch stuff, all you have to do is afford a streaming service... or 5 or 6 of them, which isn't doable either. Or you can go to the theater which isn't cheap or accessible everywhere either. Music is still easy (thanks YouTube and Spotify! Or should I say Napster?) who knows for how long? And let's not go into things like cosplay, musicals or gacha. I am not talking gambling or wine "fandom" just fandom generally.

Of course, all of this requires free time, too. "I didn't have time to watch it yet because I've been working too much" sounds almost like an excuse in fandoms. In short, my complaint is more about the mindset of people in fandom which often forgets to acknowledge that people live under different conditions, and can be very "poor people don't need entertainment they should be making money" sometimes.

Gacha games don't require any money. Sure, you can spend money on them if you want, but half the appeal is that you can also play them completely for free if you'd like. I have yet to play a single one that didn't give you ways to earn the currency for pulls just by playing the game itself, so if you don't go hog-wild and pull on every single banner and instead save up for the things you want, it's very easy to be F2P and still eventually get all the stuff you want.
