Am I the only one who can't stand them?

I can't stand any of them whether it's fake music fans, fake marvel fans, and others

I ESPECIALLY hate fake sports fans who don't know a damn thing about sports. Lots of Warriors fans fit that mold because the only player they can name is Steph Curry.

Seriously be true to yourselves and stop being a poser to fit in

I just really don't care what other people do if it's not hurting anyone at this point.

Do you seriously think it's rare to hate on posers and fake people?

I like hockey because it's violent.
I can name maybe three players, and barely get the rules right half the time.

No, I dont understand why anyone cares to be honest.

They aren't harming anyone by pretending to be a fan. 9 times out of ten they're doing it because they like hanging around you. So if anything I'd take it as a compliment if I noticed you faking interest in something I like.

sometimes coming up with code-switch fake hobbies help in social situations where your esoteric interests just won't cut it

Funny story though: I was visiting my cousins and the husband of one of them came into the basement and was like "how's Lebron doing?"

Cousins just scoffed and one says "man, Lebron is just another player"

Hahaha I wouldn't have clowned him though if he really is not a fan of basketball

I would definitely call him out and make fun of him though if he claims he's a fan of the team and he knows nothing about them

Theres a very simple reason why.

Anyway, I generally find people who complain about posers more annoying than posers.

So the real question is. What part of your life do you think you're a poser in? Cause this triggers you for a reason.

This. Who cares what other people like or not. As long as it's not morally wrong, I don't care what you like or how you appreciate it.

Im curious if this is more of a thing with people who don't ever lead conversations. Cause, otherwise you can just change the topic whenever you're annoyed.

While it does get annoying when things I like are changed for casual audiences or "fake fans", there are some things I end up preferring the casual version and get called fake for liking it. So

Which is a deeper issue for people who think everyone is a fake. They set this incredibly high bar for what's real to them that if it gets flipped on them, they'll take it hard. Eventually all your judgements come back for you on your worse mental days. A lot of people are just chillin and doing their best. Let them like what they like how they like it. Then you may allow yourself to do the same

I don't think I'm a poser in anything tbh

I say it straight if I'm not into something or I don't know anything about it and I expect people to keep it real the same that I do.

Unfortunately, people are all about looking cool for "the graaaaaam"

Why do people turn hostile the second they identify something as 'gatekeeping'?
If the masses are going to lay siege to my hobby and destroy it, the least you could do is let me try to find my own amidst them.
