The worst fandom.

Ok, guys. I’m sorry, but I really have to get this off my chest. 

I think I’ve realized what the worst fandom is. 

These people in my class every morning, complaining about what happened last night in this and that. 

Grown men get into fights about it, and children/teens hate each other because of it. They all turn completely elitist about their respective opinions. 

It’s all over TV, bumper stickers, restaurants, shirts, books, trading cards… 

And wanna talk about female oppression or sexism in general? You’ve got it, right here. 

Hell, they spend entire weekends getting drunk over it. 

The fans spend thousands of dollars each year on events, memorabilia, betting, and stupid crap like bobbleheads. 

It’s plastered with shameless advertising. 

And in some countries, there are gangs around this. 

The stupidest part is that most of them don’t even get involved in it. They don’t have a huge creative base with shitloads of artists and fanfic writers like some other fandoms have. They just sit there and say “we” as if they’re part of the action. 

The worst fandom? 

Sports. 

fight me

All of the win.

They do have a lot of people who try to emulate their heroes, in fact every school in the world encourages them to do so.

Sports encourage rivalry, and there’s always some who take it way too far, but you know what else it encourages? Respect, going on to practise minutes of silence for the dead before matches for example. Sports team help communities, encourage teamwork and a sense of unity that cannot be gained from watching a dramatic show.

Plot twists so extreme that you could not write them.

Oh so many feelings. More feelings, more passion, more desire to make a happy ending.

Female oppression/sexism? No, anyone can be a fan of a team, regardless of gender. Maybe they’re not part of the mainstream teams, but women are there. And hey, at least there’s a lot of multiculturalism supported.

Sorry to say it, I love my Doctor Who and Sherlock as much as the next guy, but sport is the best fandom.

Moffat called the Doctor ‘Doctor Who’ at the BAFTAs.

Doctor Who fandom stuff

I get genuine excitement when I argue with someone about whether his name is The Doctor or Doctor Who.

It gives me a fuzzy feeling inside to watch them scream about how “David Tennant calls him The Doctor so he’s The Doctor”

And I’m like “Step aside. This won’t take long.”
