@Ingestedbanjo 10 ай бұрын

Trying to generalise it (for myself) - how to enjoy anything that you initially find repulsive: 1 - Learn to appreciate life in general, and especially take a passionate interest in stuff closely related to the subject. 2 - Transform yourself into something that reflects your desire to enjoy the subject, even before you've tried enjoying it. 3 - Reject "cringe" and "cool" and observe your interests without judgement, positive or negative. 4 - Don't let your interests turn into obsessions. Keep yourself balanced. 5 - Now, apply step 3 and 4 to step 2 and realise that you don't need to perform every aspect of fandom to be a fan. 6 - Identify with aspects of the subject you wish to enjoy, and try to look beyond the superficial. 7 - Learn how to create the thing you enjoy, in order to appreciate it on an even deeper level. 8 - Invest in your interests and share in the enjoyment with other fans. 9 - Pretty much a combination of step 2, 6 and 7. 10 - Pretty much step 3. I disagree with the "you must respect cops" bit, but that's just my opinion. 11 - Acknowledging discomfort in advance helps you prepare for it, so that it is easier to overcome in the moment. 14 (wait, I guess they skipped some steps?) - Evangelise, for your own sake as much as anyone else's - persuading others will help persuade yourself (don't force yourself onto others, though!). And, learn how to let go as easily as you can stay attached. 16 - Love your neighbours. ...I should go read the full article later, this was great stuff. And maybe I'll also go listen to Slipknot, too.
