I like that there's a lot of posts shitting on women today.

Anyway, there's three ways to read this.

  1. It doesn't happen, this is just typical female hate consensus, as typified by Orwell when he described them.

  2. It happens because those men don't trust women who enter their spaces, because most women always try to change everything they enter into an anti-male hate cult.

  3. It happens because fans of the hobby don't trust women not to be faking it to attract a simp to rip off for all he's worth.

I'm leaning towards 1.

I feel like you forgot a possibility. 4. Men question everyone over everything (even other men) they have even a little expertise in. Women only think it's just them getting questioned; because women are used to the world revolving around them and men don't complain.

I lean toward 4.

Possibility 5. The guy is just trying to make conversation about something the woman is displaying interest in but the woman is now mad because she's been unintentionally exposed as a poser.

It's just basic social interaction. If you share an interest in anime, people will talk about anime. If you share an interest in dogs, people will talk about dogs. And if they don't know if you share any interests at all, there's always the weather.

It's not gatekeeping, it's an attempt to put the other person in their element by making the conversation about something both of you can talk about.

Honestly. This is used as a way to get to know your anime preferences, or if you're just a 'it was on so I watched it' person. It's not a knowledge test.

"An Epithet Erased hoodie? Pretty niche stuff, have you read book 2 yet?"

"OMG I'm SO being attacked right now!"

This most likely. She achieves what she wanted, male interest, but then forgets she needs to do a bit more to keep his interest.

I think it's a mix of number 4 and number 3. I'll start talking with friends when they get into a new thing that I have already been in, and we discuss the more niche aspects of it. If a woman comes up, trying to discuss something I'm an expert in, then I'm going to immediately start talking about the more niche parts of it, as usual. Not my problem if she's either a liar or just isn't used to the rigorous questioning involved when men talk about things they like to other men.

You know how many times my friends and I would test each over over “nerd facts”

I see this as something like interpreting

neat! what shows do you watch?

as

name 10 shows or you're a BIG PHONY!!!

Feminists like to take any question as either praise or a personal attack. Rarely in between.

Women like to take any question as either praise or a personal attack.

FIFY. The last girl I dated would snarl at me if I so much as asked her what she was doing.

Hilarity ensued when half the time I knew exactly what she was doing and that she was doing it wrong. I was just giving her a face-saving way to get help.

I think you nailed this and for me it is 3. I'm not saying women can't be genuine fans of things, but I've seen and experienced this a fuckin ton in my time
