But I enjoy learning all about the things I’m into.

Right, but the point of the OP is that you don’t have to learn everything about something if you like it. You still can if you want to

That’s fine, just understand other people are allowed to like those same things without knowing everything about them.

I don’t want to share what I know about the stuff, I’m like a nerd knowledge dragon, hoarding my knowledge in a cave so no one else can see it.

You’re allowed to geek out or nerd out about anything too. People who tell you to “get a life” for showing your interests and passions are no better than the gatekeepers of fandoms.

That’s really stupid and it also seems to be what some people think.

Just like stuff, you don’t have to prove to anyone that you like it by knowing a bunch of trivia. When someone asks you about obscure fact #278, ask them when they last got laid and fucking walk away. Those dipshits aren’t worth your time.

Just don’t go all MAGA cult without knowing the basics about democracy and the basic platform differences between republicans and Democrats. That’s how we end up with fascism and regret.

Isn’t fandom and being a fan just an abbreviating expression of being a fanatic?

A shorter version would be “you can like stuff without being a fan”

For example, I’d say that I’m a big fan of Iron Maiden, but also that I like synthwave.

Maybe etymological roots or whatever but most people mean they just like x thing so they are a fan of it

Yes. It was originally an idiomatic overstatement, like how not when people say they “Stan” someone they’re not literally rifling through their bins and sending vials of bodily fluids through the post. Mostly,

Some people can’t tell the difference between liking a thing and hyperfixating

Community Rules

  1. Must be a wholesome meme All posts must be wholesome memes: uplifting, life-affirming, or nice-ing up a rude meme. Photos or screenshots without superimposed text, as well as social media posts, are not memes.

  2. Be general, not specific Memes should be relatable, with universally uplifting themes. Avoid posts that promote an ideology, religion, or brand over others, & posts that show individuals’ politeness without some universal theme. Memes about controversial themes, people, and/or institutions are not allowed either.

  3. No NSFW content Please avoid submitting NSFW content. PG-13 is fine, but please tag those “NSFW” for young or sensitive users.

  4. No trolling, harassing, or general rudeness Please no trolling, harassment, rudeness, or behaviour unbecoming of the wholesome users we know you to be. Keep comments civil and be respectful of your fellow users. Be nice. This is a happy place. No proselytizing. Keep your religion, your politics, your diet, and any other crusade you might carry to yourself. We come here to get away from arguing and politics and the like, so please respect that by keeping your agendas to yourself.

  5. No personal info or private communication Please do not post personal info, yours or others. All names should be blocked out, except public figures. Also, private communication & private posts are private; please don’t post them here.

  6. Post must link to image directly. Please link to images directly. This makes browsing easier for those using RES or through a mobile device

  7. Low Effort Meme Please do not submit low effort memes or mention upvotes in your post.

This includes “Let’s get this to the front page!” type posts, “You have been visited by”, “people who sort by new”, “stop scrolling”, Low effort memes include: Skyrim “Wholesome 100”, “You’re Breathtaking”, Thanos “That does put a smile on my face”, [happiness noises], Fallout [Everybody liked that], and “Because that’s what heroes do”. This isn’t an exhaustive list, but I think you get the idea!

  1. No reposts Avoid posting memes that have already been posted to this sub. Fresh content is vital. We may allow a repost at our discretion, if it has not already been a frontpage post, and if it has been over 6 months since it was last posted here. Do not spam or post more than 3 memes in a 24 hour period.

  2. Please make an effort with your title Set your post up for success. “Does this fit here?” helps nobody. Being funny or descriptive helps. And trying is good.
