2 the people that actually believe they have some insider hipster knowledge of the obscure echo that they don't have much else going for them in life.
You don't boast that you know obscure shit about toys or cartoons unless you lack any other real life experiences. It's like your brain is aware how much a failure you are and kicks in a coping mechanism that makes you dig and collect near useless info that anybody could learn but hasn't because again, what value does it have? However they then get to spill it on the "plebs" that haven't spent the extra 2 minutes to learn about odd guy X or rare factory toy Y.
Really that is the 'cancer' of these kinds of hobbies is you get the most useless stick wagging contests ever and usually people want an 'us vs them' war because again, that's easier to fight for then something tangible.
