This brings me a lot of joy. I hope she gets the attention she deserves. I'm fascinated by people with deep and narrow interests.
I think it's a good exercise in humanity to find joy in the joy of others, and validating their joy is even better, even if it's not fruitful or even useful.

They do not preach that their God will rouse them a little before the nuts work loose.
They do not teach that His Pity allows them to leave their job when they damn-well choose.
As in the thronged and the lighted ways, so in the dark and the desert they stand,
Wary and watchful all their days that their brethren’s days may be long in the land.I hope she gets at least the attention I would give her if I had the chance.

All attention that was given, I guess. Its not like she is making anyone do anything. People who like it talk about it. That's all
I think this kind of activity is better for society as a whole than, for example, playing video games or watching TV. It’s natural these days to think well of people who care about things other than media.
