The same way some men get when you say you like sports like so what if it’s not at the same degree as you? I still like it?

As long as you’re not being performative about it and continue to show an interest even after the hype,then honestly people can shut up. Let fandoms grow.

Or or OR we can let people enjoy things even if it’s for a moment.

@polytheatrix PERFORMATIVE…over…comics…LOLOL? how about people can like something as much as they want, as vocally as they want, for as long as they want. people don’t actually need your goddamn permission to like something, nor do they need to follow some weirdo 7yo kid rules about liking the hobby youre into. Why on gods green earth would you give a single fuck if complete strangers decide not to keep up w a hobby down the road? it’s not like this is some niche market that is walking a tightrope of existence as they count every dollar. the fuck out of here w youre “performative”
