I think you’re thinking about it too hard! You don’t need to feel pressured to like things that other people like.
It's not about that, I don't feel any pressure whatsoever. 🙂 I feel very confident in not getting trapped into idolization.
But I'm also curious what the actual point is in wrapping one's life up into someone else's or something else. To be so void of own purpose or self worth to the point of worshipping someone else like a god. Even something that isn't even real.
Not saying that all fans of these types of characters are like this, of course, but some are.
