So like why are all crk fans I met irl so obsessed with the characters/goon to them

So like I haven't heard many of this game but like I knew it was pretty popular and cool.

To find out, a classmate plays it. She showed me how it works, but like she kept being so affectionate with the characters she like showed me and stuff. Found her tiktok account to see she's shipping and comics and stuff. She made it pretty clear that like she pretty much just goons to them/has a unhealthy addiction with the verse.

Then, I met my Erasmus host, another crk player. All her accounts (discord, instagram, whatsapp) are full of the pink greek mythology character. She worships it like a saint, only for when I arrived to see half her room full of merch and posters of that thing (I thought she called it Eternal something). She ignored me all the 6 days I stayed at her house and made a scandal at the end.

My question is, is this cuz I'm a teen and being obsessive is simply a "teen anime fan" thingy, or is it just the fandom is this weird? I have seen they always overlap with other fandoms like DS and PJSK, and it's always the same thinggg: ships, hc, wanting to be intimate with the characters etc.

I'm sure the game is awesome and lots of fans have fun playing the game normally, but I was just curious to see if smth happened for it to be this wayyyy

Baiiiiii
