Worst Fanbases.

[Beardy]

I'm not particularly internetty. I'm genuinely untouched by memes or fanbases unless I go looking for them. That being said, any insane amount of love for a franchise which is based on "lol we're not the target audience yay" grinds my beans.

The example that springs to mind is Harry Potter. Fucking everyone DEMANDED I read the first book. I thought, yeah, it's a nice enough kid's book but it's not for me. But SO many people in my age range just raved about it. If you like it, fair enough. But it's just a kid's book. You're a grown-up. Don't dick about dressing up as a wizard for the signing of the next book. Christ, read some Vonnegut or something. Whatever, just get a bit of perspective.

I'm not saying it's wrong to like something that's not aimed at you, but don't make a big deal out of it. It just comes across as awkward and weird.
