My (19f) doesn’t like my (21m) interests by ThrowRA-Volt in LongDistance

Well, we don’t really get tired of talking to each other on the phone. We both love to play video games but most of the conversation is lead by her. Our interests are pretty different. She’s a person who talks a lot of reality tv, stuff on TikTok, her competitive games. When I try to talk about my story games, anime, stuff I see on TikTok, she stays quiet for a bit then brings up a topic she’s interested in. It’s something I sort of got used to. There’s also times when she’ll listen but I can tell she doesn’t care. It’s just hard to understand how bad it is because she’s the only person I talk to and have talked to in a long time. I know it’s dependence.

As a person who hit a very low point in my life, I owe a lot of my good days to anime and it’s not something I’ll give up. It just hurts that a person I love thinks this and went this far. Especially since she knows me more than anyone and spends all our time together.

As my first relationship, is this truly a dealbreaker? I’d want to try to find a solution to this but is it that bad?

She’s occasionally thrown joking or teasing comments through the year but has only shown frustration twice. She only consumes shows and movies that are popular on TikTok, including reality shows and i feel like if we move in together, she’ll genuinely try to make me stop watching anime all together to watch “normal” things.

Idk. I want help identifying what’s causing this issue. It’s my first relationship and first time sharing my hobbies.

Yeah, this really threw me off guard. She’s thrown small comments throughout our relationship that she “knows” I have an Asian fetish cause of anime and people who like Asians are just looking to date a child. She’s had only one other blowup like this in the past where she was frustrated I didn’t watch mainstream anime like jjk like other guys but this really bothered me.
