Pretty sure the OP is talking about people who aren't actually very old (say in their mid-20s) but go on and on about how they expect to suddenly grow a life when they're 30 and won't be in fandom anymore because that would be so sad, etc.

I've seen comments like that and just shake my head.

Well alright, but that's not entirely silly. People do tend to get lives in their 20s-30s, so they'd have less time for fandom. And that's completely realistic. I know sometimes I get so caught up with things that I don't visit any fan communities for days, and that's part of growing up.

Sure it is. But it's kind of insulting to assume that fandom = no life/immaturity and to set some totally arbitrary deadline for when you'll "grow out of it". It's even sillier to assume that if you don't quit fandom entirely by that deadline, it'll mean you've stagnated in immaturity forever.

Agreed.

Agree completely.

I think it's strange that you can be a sportsfan your entire life, dress in team jerseys, go to games wearing face makeup, and society at large approves. But heaven forbid you're interested in a movie/book/tv show/etc. Because that means you're stuck in childhood.

What's more childish, being obsessed with grown men who play children's games, or media about adults doing adult things and having adult problems?

DA

....I got laid off from what I had thought was going to be my permanent-for-keeps-till-I'm-60 job THREE DAYS before I turned 30. So I started a whole different life in that decade, than the one I had in the decade before. So. Not entirely unreasonable that one's life CAN change after 30...but that's more down to outside circumstances than conscious choice; and why would anyone CHOOSE to stop reading/watching/playing, just because the calendar has turned over to a certain milestone year?
