I suppose for the same reason people have football scarves, or wear badges. It gives them a sense of belonging.

Some people find comfort in knowing there are similar people to them, and feel a need to proclaim it. Whether it's supporting a football team, being of the same nationality, or faith, being a member of the Caravan and Camping Club, or even being a conspiracy theorist.

Some people like to share with the world that they aren't alone.
