Basically you're torturing yourself. I was before, i'm in France and comics for people, since it's not as spread as in the US, are just movies they may have seen, old batman movies and parodies, kids stuff things like that...so you've the one looking down on you like you've got poor taste in life loving them or the one naming themselves ''fan'' and not knowing anything about real comics...basing all their knowledge on movies.And i quite dislike movies DC or Marvel they tend to be money mass making things (which i understand they're here to make profit not to follow the truth a tout prix)...
What i'm trying to say it's even if since childhood i'm into comics, and i tend to be more of a pre new 52 DC follower, finding Marvel a little bit to sparkling for me, got a lot of books video games etc about them i can't stand calling myself a fan, or being called that, there's something ''diminishing'' about that term like we're alienated by them, and i've full control over my tastes...so you should do the same, don't listen to other people and since they'll never disappear , in fact they're spreading faster than real comic lovers...thanks to the new politics and movies spaming a lot...don't bother assimilate or compare yourself to them you know what you like, you are and your value. I know it's bothering and stressfull when they engage in a discussion about something they don't even suspect they know barely 10% of the subject but in the end it's fun, people tend to be like that about anything after all.
The only bad thing coming from that it's the comic books headquarters are putting them first, and producing mass products instead of quality one most of the times...they always have yes but sometimes i though we've entered a "twilight era" when reading about some heroes i loved...for it's not as psychological and dark as before, to my mind.
