It’s because some people don’t have much going for them in their lives. So they consume media to fill their time and they do it so much that it becomes an important part of their lives. It basically forms their personality. So when the media they love “betrays” them because the message doesn’t align with their own views or the media is just plain bad or whatever they feel attacked at the core level. Mix that with some mental issues and you get people who feel they have to take measures in real life to defend themselves against those “attacks”.
It’s not that different from football hooligans.
In those groups there is so much self hatred that gets pushed out on the world in order to not face their own feelings. I remember a coworker i was talking with in a group and mentioned without a second thought that another coworker (another dude) new haircut looked good on them and he kind of locked up. he Started saying "he was im not gay. so he couldn't even think like that."
now remember we are talking about a haircut and this guy starts freaking out like we are talking his package. If you are that insecure in your sexual preferences. That talking about someones haircut is the same as thinking about them in a sexual way. So something is definitely being repressed. I think most healthy people one day ask themselves "Am i gay?" then answer yes or no and moved on with their day.
