I think people don’t understand the time zone issue because OP says they are trying to make sense of the time zones rather than pointing out US-centric fandom happens at odd times for OP. There’s a lot of validity to this secret except the bit about cons and travel being easy. It may be easier but that isn’t the same at all.

If people in the US can't understand that timezones in other countries make things hard, then that's a general knowledge problem, not OP's problem.

The thing is, easy is relative. A lot of the US people have talked about relative distances, and how normal, easy distances for them might seem incomprehensible to someone from western Europe.

But then when OP said that the nearest city from them is 28 hours away (not the nearest city with a con or friends, the nearest CITY, full stop), so that to them any of the distances commenters were taking about travelling to cons in the US seemed easy. After that, well, suddenly relativity went out the window and OP couldn't possibly understand how hard the people in the US had it. (With, interestingly, no sympathy being given to the OP, possibly because their remoteness and isolation was just incomprehensible to the US commenters, just like distances in big countries can be incomprehensible to those in small countries).
