if you aren't into history, why are you in the SCA?
Because the SCA is where your social life is?
When I was in college, I ran into a lot of people who played SCA because their S.O./friends/housemates did. Or they were in one of the campus clubs whose membership overlapped the local SCA (like the gamers, or the Film Society), and they found the SCA a pleasant enough diversion that they would put on their one T-tunic and go to the local group's annual event [back in the days when local groups only held one event a year ;-D]--but not engaging enough that they'd go to anything out-of-town.
Many people come to/stay in the SCA for the subculture--it's just that most of them don't pick fights about it :-> (After all, one could conceivably become a Peer in the SCA without even a rudimentary interest in "history"....)
