I personally feel bad for people who need to find their acceptance and their "place in society" among fandom, and fandom only.
Like, you can't interact with someone in a normal setting about something other than fandom? You need that to link you together?
Nothx.

Bashing fandom in general in a general fandom community. How cute.

Agreed.

DA - Considering most of my interests are geeky or fannish in nature, and I tend to only be able to connect with people over said interests, my interactions with most other people are superficial at best. I can't really relate to people who don't share at least some of my interests. (Case in point: the two coworkers I like working with the best are also gamers like me.) Plus, for a lot of people (myself included), fandom spaces are a general sort of semi-safe space where we can be weird and strange all we want and not fear repercussions. When you're used to being yourself in a fandom space, and realizing that you have to reign a lot in to interact with the rest of society...you sort of have a hard time connecting to people who only know you as that mask.

Not that I mind terribly much, I'm just saying. People tend to get along better when they share interests, and when a good majority of your interests are fan-related, well... That's not really anything to feel pity for, unless you also feel pity for anybody who only feels "at home" in specific circles - otherwise, you're just disparaging fandom as an interest in general, which is pretty gross.

Speaking as such a person: yeah, it sucks sometimes. But then again, better to find acceptance and a place in fandom only than nowhere at all, which also happens (and I can remember a time before widespread internet access and geekdom acquiring some respectability when it was also much more common.)
