I know this was just an example, but on a side note of course I actually know who rakitic is. I don’t watch a lot of soccer but I play tons of FIFA. And even if I hadn’t? Rakitic would definitely fall under reasonable expectation for the reasons you stated.
But anyway, no, this just isn’t true. I always give bars a fair shake. If I’ve ever voted on a bar saying it was obscure, that’s after doing my (even if it’s just 30 seconds) research. Part of your mentality of “fuck your expo if I don’t get it off rip it sucks” inherently has the assumption that “I know all cool things so if I don’t know your thing it isn’t cool” baked into it.

So you're telling me if you don't get a joke at a comedy club it's just as funny when you google it on the ride home? There's immediate impact. Make me know what you're talking about in your bars. Obscurity is a trade off. One of my favourite disses in Dont Flop was "You look like that little gnome in Golden Axe that I have to kick to get my potion back". That's obscure as fuck. Fidel sure as fuck doesn't get a Golden Axe reference. But its funny to me as I get what its from.
Its a trade-off. You use bars you deliberately know a portion of the audience wont get, you cant be annoyed when they tell you they don't get it.
