I meant the whole thing as a kind of rhetorical excercise, yes, I do understand why fans be doing fan stuff, haha!
I’ve been that way about a few things myself, I guess I am just trying to… offer a perspective that is hopefully a bit more grounded, a missive that a fan could read and maybe go… ‘oh, im actually the comparatively weird one here’.
Not that theres anything inherently wrong with a ‘weird’ super fan… its just that if you lack self awareness of that, silly and stupid things begin to happen very fast.
But also yes dear god sports bros.
They fall into this just the same, many cannot concieve that a person could just not care about sports, as if that makes you a bad person.
But see again how its the lacking self awareness that they are fans that is the problem, it grows into a judgemental myopia.
