This is genuinely sad. I kinda get it, but I also kinda don't.
I know how it feels to have to fight with people over opinions. I once stirred up a fight on this forum over something stupid. I can't remember what it was exactly but I think it had something to do with electric cars and the kind of people who buy them. I was being crushed, and I got frustrated and wrote some things I now regret having written, as it definitely made people think of me as an immature hater with a gigantic self-esteem; a fact which became apparent to me when Cobpyth pointed it out some time ago (rightfully so, by the way).
Well, I still hate electric cars and the people who buy them. However, this is now a hatred which lives inside me, carefully kept away from the surface. I try not to argue about things like that anymore. It's really hard, and sometimes it proves to be stronger than me, and I hope that one day I will be mature enough not to feel that hatred anymore.
My point is, frustration and exhaustion is a thing that comes naturally when you share your opinions online, and in real life as well. If you cannot find anyone who agrees with what you have to say, you feel alienated and, eventually, lonely. So I get that part.
The part I don't get is rage quitting. You can get away from this forum, yes. Does it mean you will find many people somewhere else who appreciate animation and non-mainstream movies on the level you do? Sadly, I don't think so. Do you think that when you talk to a guy from work and ask him: "Hey, did you see that awesome French animated movie that's so hard to find a copy of, in which the main character is (...)", he will go: "Yeah, sure, I enjoyed the animation very much, it reminds me of the work of (...)"? Sorry, that's not gonna happen. He's gonna go: "Nah man, I don't watch that stuff. The only french movies I ever saw was the Taxi series.".
Then, of course, you can rage quit on that guy too and not talk to him anymore, try talking with another person and do the same thing, and then another, and another, until you realize there's nobody left, and you won't get a second chance until you move to another town because the people who know you don't want to talk to you anymore. I know because this happened to me.
So the point is: don't run away because there's a dead end on that road.
