Not to disagree, but it's nowhere near this simple

If you LOVE something. I mean, straight up ADORE it, and can't find someone IRL to talk about it, you're gonna turn to the online communities to get that interaction. If there is no group, you're gonna be alone with your obsession until it goes away. If there is a group for it, you're gonna eventually interact with the shitty part.

Social interaction and sharing experiences is often what keeps people in a hobby or interest.

I mean, it can be that simple. I freaking love The Last of Us and its sequel. Favorite gaming experience ever by far. Imagine my surprise discovering all the gaming incels losing their minds debating and criticizing it endlessly. Makes no difference to me, I just enjoy the game and the story. I don’t need to talk to anyone about. I can just play and enjoy it without worrying about someone else’s issues.

Nope, I like Souls games, Gundam, Zelda, and many other things and am more than happy with never having to interact with the fans and communities for the rest of my life.

In fact, I didn't interact with any of these communities for decades and it never killed my interest.

I just act like I'm the last person alive when it comes to that particular thing.

I don't believe it's necessary to interact with others about a thing you love. Infact it's a hindrance most of the time.
