I'm a mid-20s male e-sports fan and I promise you there are tons of us. Perhaps a big thing is lack of visibility - you might see traditional sports on TV in passing at bars, restaurants, etc, but that isn't the case for e-sports. It's a community that organizes by event and livestream schedules shared online with up to hundreds of thousands of people tuning in on twitch.
Having been through the recent birth e-sports and its growth since, to me it's remarkable the social aspect of regular sports. Especially here in Boston, big game days are a major IRL event for half the city. Jerseys walking around on the sidewalks, everyone talking about it, etc. The biggest e-sports events in contrast are in convention centers, hotel ballrooms, theaters, etc, where only if their lucky will there be any noticeable external sign.
