absolutely this pretty much
Additionally--- I would say in general, if your entire personality revolves around one single thing, whether it be video games, Harry Potter, dubstep, Catholicism, etc. then you (general you, not "MML you") are not a well-developed person and probably not super interesting.
I see it all the time on dating sites tbh. Someone's bio will say "I love Harry Potter!! I'm a Hufflepuff with Ravenclaw tendencies
" or... "I love The Office! Looking for the Jim to my Pam..." etc. It's boring as fuck and doesn't get me excited about talking to you. Same with gaming.
I'm absolutely for loving niche hobbies! Just be sure you're able to hold conversations about different topics or else it'll get old real fast.
...And like, there's no problem putting hobbies in your dating profile, but "I like Harry Potter!" tells me nothing. We all like Harry Potter. If you wanna put your interests in your profile make it some weird shit. "I like doujin music", "I like slasher films", "I like gemcraft", those at least set you apart from everyone else!
