Why is it masculine?

Hinchas is masculine because it is an agent noun formed from the verb "hinchar" (to swell or inflate) using the suffix "-a". While Spanish agent nouns typically use "-o" (e.g., "hablador"), "hincha" is one of several agent nouns that use "-a" but maintain masculine gender when referring to people. The word evolved from meaning "someone who swells" to "someone who inflates with passion" and eventually to "sports fan". The masculine gender is retained despite the "-a" ending due to its agent noun function referring to a male or generic person.
