    They’re fans. It’s short for “fanatic,” isn’t it?

    Fandoms can be toxic and horrible, especially at their fringes. I wouldn’t say they weren’t “true” fans as much as they were toxic chud fans, which tend to roll around some franchises in particular like pigs in shit.

    For example, it’s hard for me to enjoy 40k much of the time if I’m out in the general fandom public and have to hear blue curtained enthusiasm for space fascism and its associated death cults. debord-tired
