I appreciate the strategy you're using here, but you've failed to address in any way the difference between people passionately following something that is perpetually changing and evolving, with ups and downs, versus an emotional investment in something that never changes, over and over again. You don't really address any points, you just sort of continue to insinuate how two things are the same, without addressing any points. It's an often effective move. But I'm not buying it here.
I mean, you've implied if not outright admitted you're a college football, but also maybe a disney adult. What else are you going to do, but attempt to normalize your position as one thing, which much of society finds creepy and off-putting, to the other thing people are passionate about here...and attempt to maybe also frame it as creepy and off-putting. Sure, I spend money on these things, but look at all the money other people spend on THIS thing? I guess attempting to frame it as "Listen guys, we're all super weird together" is much better than having to explain how POTENTIALLY the rabid emotional support and financial dedication to this other thing is more than just the lifetime distraction of a stunted person who has never entirely moved on from their childhood, and it is a race to return to that safe space as much and often as possible as they find their regular life overwhelming, and the find safety and comfort in the fact that the rides never change, and the movies never change, and the songs never change, and when they're at a disney park, they're safe. Explaining that could be difficult.
Particularly to close-minded psychos like us.
