It's shoddy logic all the way through; fandom is cheap and it's social and it can be mentally stimulating or soothing depending on how you participate, so I don't see any reason why someone on a low income working hard might not choose it as a recreation. I suspect the secret-poster is suffering under the classist assumption that an intelligent person who expresses themself articulately and eloquently must be middle-class. (Or rich.)

They're pretty fun if you enjoy that kind of thing, good on ableist issues and feminism (one of the few series' I've seen to seriously address artifical wombs and their implications), less good on sexuality and race, although not actively bad that I am aware of. Freedom of information (and the ability to understand that information) are essential tools for democracy to function properly, I think.

I think I might write you two?

SHOCKING. Oh okay then. :) Hey, did you see this? You're a robot unicorn galloping and bounding through the world, catching rainbow-winged fairies and occasionally accelerating in a stream of rainbows to blow up stars. All to the musical stylings of Erasure.
