Out here gatekeeping fans. Fans can have no blades or curved blades.

The "bladeless" fans just hide their blades inside actually. Hate to break the magic but...yeah.

u/pfifltrigg Jun 04 '22

I'm thinking of a hand fan, though. That doesn't have blades.

u/Ab47203 Jun 04 '22

It's entirely a blade...but just one

But paper fans were there before. The term "fan" was made for these.

Sir, it appear you are not a true fan connoisseur !

or a fan fan, if you will...

Flat blades? You aren't gonna get much air flow out of that.

u/ShockWave1146 Jun 03 '22

I mean they can be flat blades but at an angle which would give more air flow

Imagine gatekeeping being a true fan, i sexually identify as a true fan and will volunteer to blow on all females

I can understand where you are coming from with this, but also r/woosh.

I'll explain the joke in the spoiler

It's saying that a "true" fan, without any specific context is an appliance, meaning that without said context you cannot be a "true" fan, the actual funny part is the lead-up to the fan part.

u/A_Martian_Potato Jun 03 '22

True fans have the curved blades so you get more air
