Great counter point bro, you got me!
You do realise the entire string of words is the definition and not just the ones that pop out at you? I get language is a tricky thing to learn and you struggle with it greatly but let's break this down.

Using the word "cult" but only acknowledging a small fraction of the word's true meaning, in this case "a group of fans", reduces that word to the point where it no longer carries the same meaning as the original word. You are using the word "cult" when really you mean "group of fans" and you are doing this because of the negative connotations the actual word implies and you are basing this on the vitriol of those who you heard using it.

By your own admission, bolding only a section of the definition, you do not appear to grasp the reasoning behind the use of the word "cult" or it's implications because you feel that it is simply a "great term" to really dunk on those who enjoy AEW. You consistently fail to show any understanding of the term, in addition to to complete miss on grasping the word "irony" and contextual misuse of "naive". Your use of the word cult here should apply to anything with absolutely no consequence. Do you like wrestling? Cultist. Do you prefer boxers or briefs? Cultist. You have a favourite colour? Absolute cult. The application of words is not as simple as spewing them out and hoping people gather your intent.

You are also the same person who will call somebody unoriginal for pointing out the gaping flaws in your use of terminology, while at the same time you admit you only use said terminology because you saw somebody else say it first. I'll give you some time to figure out what you did wrong there. This is your chance to prove you're not just slinging out words you heard somebody else use without the faintest clue what they mean. Go on. We are all waiting, champ.
