Why do non fans try so hard to engage with fandom? (sopuli.xyz)

I made a post asking specifically for DC fans their opinions. The people who responded aren’t actual fans—they’re just people who think they are fans but have never picked up a comic in their life. My question is: why do non-fans try so hard to engage with real fans?? You aren’t a real fan of DC, Marvel, or anything superhero-related, so you don’t deserve to be in the fandom space.

The threshhold for fan is liking the exact same comic run as OP, not the other comic featuring the same character
