You need better friends. :( I ended up hurting a lot of feelings by pretending in the past, because when it came down to not being able to pretend anymore, they were very upset with me. Then how do your friends know when you are genuinely interested in something you both like? Are you humoring them?

If they can't respect different tastes, they probably think little of you for other things anyway. Getting along despite differences is part of being an adult.

I hate homestuck, MLP, Hetalia etc but most of my friends like it. I politely state I dislike it, and we are still friends because we care about each other beyond fandom. I'll send them something related to their fandoms if I come across it and think they'd like it. Sometimes they do the same for me, but it's not /expected/.

They don't. After the experiences I've had in fandom, I prefer pretending and being shallow about it. The alternative was a fucking nightmare.

I guess are experiences are just really different then. D: I'm sorry to hear that it sucked for you. Sorry if I sounded defensive. It's... hard for me to understand why people would want to keep up pretenses like that.

It's not exactly the principle behind Mark Twain's "Corn Pone Opinions" (http://www.paulgraham.com/cornpone.html) essay -- because fandom is rarely, if ever, that important in life -- but it's similar. Sometimes it's far less trouble to lie and fit in than to be honest and stick out.
