          For any fan of any medium, one of the challenges you run into is finding people who do not share your love/enthusiasm for that medium. Whether it be Star Wars, Marvel, DC, Video Games, Cars, Anime, Guns, or a genre of music, it can be a challenge when socializing with others if you live and/or work in an area where you can't share in the joy of what you love with others.
