Like, I'm a huge Star Wars fan, but I am not in that kind of Star Wars fandom where anybody makes anything and they go, this isn't what George wanted.

Like, that is sort of the fandom as I've sort of understood it.

I'm also on a couple of like Reddit channels.

I'm a big football fan, so I support Liverpool Football Club.

So I'm on their Reddit and it's like anything vehemently bad happens at their base.

Like,

owners need to leave.

Sell

the club.

So I always find...

Certain fandoms are almost too extreme and they never seem to focus on the positives.

They're always focusing on the negatives.

So I sort of float in and out of it.

But then I love connecting with people that have shared interests as me.

So it's a bit of a double edged sword, really, in that I love talking to people that love what I love and geeking out and sharing things about it and really digging into it.

But then there are almost people that love it so much they hate everything else.

Yeah.

And in the Star Wars fandom, I've heard people talk about the movies in such a way, I'm like, do you even like this? Because I've not heard or read anything positive ever about anything.

You just seem to just be miserable about absolutely everything.

So that's my experience of fandoms.

What about you?

I would probably refer to that as like a dip rather than deep dive kind of vibe for that.

For myself, I think...

When I was younger, I was a lot more entrenched in fandoms.

I had a Tumblr account.
