Degrees of secondhand fandom:
- I don’t watch/read/listen to it, but I follow the summaries on the wiki
- I rarely pursue information about it, but I have enough incidental contact with the core fandom that I’ve picked it up via osmosis
- I strive to avoid it, but I’ve been indoctrinated against my will by the fucking memes
- I can cite the canon chapter and verse, but I have no recollection of how or why I acquired this knowledge, and that concerns me
