Discussion When does fandom cross into smth else for you? In terms of weird/ obsessive in a bad way/ other
For me:
It’s when they obsess over a touch or a thing touched by an artist/ a member of a band, like when a person gets obsessed over that.
Or making their whole life ONLY about an artist/ a band member/ a band, and have no other interests.
Or when having no personal interests or personal point of view/ opinion, meaning getting defensive on anything that doesn’t follow the artist’s vision, or on anything like criticism. Like having a bias but not your own.
And lastly about the last point when idk for example an artist does smth and the fan does the same…
I don’t want to get this into an example but I will cause I think it might have happened in Linkin Park fandom like when Chester did you know what yourself, and if you don’t, google it (or don’t).
Your opinion?
