pokemon card, especially around collecting(specifically collection porn, they have no interest in the game itself but get the rush from opening and getting a rare card) and playing it(mostly around the mechanics and gameplay). and they aggressively defend any possibility the current nature of the game is very wrong. i wasnt happened upon a discussion board around this. something similar , but people think chronic lyme is actual disease, there is a whole industry and cult around this thing, its unreal. and the people most pedaling it are MDs giving unsanctioned advice and prescriptions. and people defend(the disease) this like they defend donald trump(anything that contradicts the validity of CL is met with extreme hostilities)
