~~ just fandom wanking.
Oct. 11th, 2003 04:02 pmSomething a lot of people say when things get out of certain "boundaries" is that this is "just fandom". Meaning, this isn't important, right. The emotional investment some people have in the community and the friends they'd made in it and the energy they've contributed to it-- in the `larger' scheme of things, somehow it doesn't matter because it's not "real". I keep coming across it, and it's always bothered me, so I thought I'd try to articulate why.
