Loosely inspired by how much people seemed to enjoy a similar question I asked on Games about unappreciated titles. But answers don't have to be media related (they still can be though).

Chess! I suck ass at it so I don't fit in with actual chess players, and everyone I know is totally disinterested in the game. I can only fuel my love for the game by watching Gotham trash talk 1200 rated players when I know that I'm a lichess 700

Astronomy! Not astrology! No, that's not a smudge on the lens, that's M3, and it took me an hour to find it in this Bortle class 7 suburb with my 4.5" dob, and I'm damn proud of myself for that

Anime! No, I haven't seen Naruto, or DBZ, and I ain't got time for One Piece. How's about Shinsekai Yori, Haibanei Renmei, or ACCA? Nah, nobody I know has seen those, even though we're in our late 20s and are a bit old for shounen at this point

Hey fellow chess lover! I'm like 900 on lichess :-D

It's such a rich game it's incredible, and the history about it. Crazy actually.
