š¬š§ I wish there were not only labels for what you enjoy, but also HOW you enjoy it.
This is kind of inspired by a Tumblr post (see below), but just to give you an example: On my old Mastodon instance, there were people who enjoyed the same things as I do (#VideoGames), but in a completely different way. Many #gamers just play whatever games strike their fancy, share their opinion on them, and that's it.
Meanwhile, I carefully handpick the games I play - as a result, I only play few games overall, but I engage with them all the more intensely. What I mean by this is basically "treating the game world (lore, characters, and so on) as a subject of study that I could write an impromptu bachelor thesis on if anyone asked me to". (To give you a general idea: If you know what a special interest in an #autistic person looks like, you know what my interest in my favorite games looks like.)
