The reason I disagree is that when your goal is attention, you also show other signs (like trying to argue you into agreeing). If you aren’t seeking attention, then you don’t push your weird views and simply state them matter-of-fact when asked. I don’t think someone who keeps their mouth shut until asked and then talks matter-of-fact about weird beliefs comes off as attention seeking or loses status in most cases.
