Any girl ir RL I've seen that is in to guys hobbies has a very shallow fans. The best was a friend that was such a star wars fan, would wear a lot of merch and would straight out say she loved Star Wars so I asked her something about Palpatine and she did not know who that was.

Plus lol fans that have played a few times with their boyfriend and now it is their identity.

I'm not that much in to anime so I don't know how those go.

As for the t-shirt and bands, I'm guilty of that.

I've done it a couple of times with those NASA hoodies and NASA t-shirts. I asked them what does NASA stand for. Granted I did it to friends and not some rando stranger, in one case the guy did not buy the t-shirt and I've never seen the other one wearing the hoodie again.

I've also asked my wife to name 3 Queen songs when she just HAD to go see Bohemian Rhapsody. Almost anyone can name 3 Queen songs but I know my wife.

I've met one true 100% genuine article IRL. We were in a line at a convention, her in an Ahri costume (LoL was in its heyday), and I was dressed as Stitches from HotS, who of course has a very close proxy in LoL. I don't "do" LoL, but I'm a gamer, I know MOBAs, I can follow general conversational flow, but somehow she fell into a rant about shit players who can't adjust to new metas keeping her in MMR hell when she's playing a perfect ADC game, and I'm just sitting there smiling, letting her vent at "trash golds who were probably boosted to even reach there".

Like, if that isn't THE picture of the standard LoL player, I don't know what is. No quizzing, no real prompting even except the cosplays, just "yo, you play tank? Lemme tell you about how supports don't support my plays".

God save the Queen, Dancing Queen, and Killer Queen?

Wait no, that last one actually works! 🤔

I wanted to build up to Darth Plagueis but I had to change the subject after telling her who Palpatine was. I would have given her a pass if she did not know Palpatine was Darth Sidious but not who was the emperor.

I actually found Darth Plagueis at a used book store recently and bought it
