>understand that it's fake but still respect it as a hobbyThis is literally the case with every hobby, be it sports or anime or whatever. You're only embracing the nihilistic aspect of it because you wouldn't notice otherwise if it were thriving and not on the cusp of extreme cultural irrelevance.
Like if you guys just embraced the decline and made fun of the people who still take it seriously you would have a lot better experience as opposed to being a sadsack
