[ 1 - too big ]

[(Anonymous)]

I'm a Doctor Who fan and I can't really disagree with your comment about the fandom. It used to be even more so with old school Who.

[(Anonymous)]

Doctor Who fandom makes you crazy. This isn't a joke or a quip, I literally think this is true. It's impossible to like Doctor Who and interact with its fandom without being at least somewhat crazy in one way or another. It's completely bizarre. And it does have its pros, I guess, but yeah, the fandom is utterly crazy.

And I kind of like Doctor Who

[cushlamochree]

I felt like this for a long time and it was a big thing that kept me from watching Doctor Who, which I think is actually pretty good.

I'm still not entirely sure you're wrong, of course...

I love Doctor Who but the fandom is hands-down the worst I've ever seen.

To be fair, there's liking and liking.

Back when I used to spend more time in the UK, I met a lot of people who like DW, but it's just more popular there, and part of nostalgia for the older generations.

I think it's always dangerous to make such generalizations. Liking a show is not the same as being a super-dedicated fan who knows all episode names by heart and does in-depth meta analysis of the show. And that, in turn, still doesn't make you socially inept.

Well, there's fandom, and then there are people of my age, who grew up with Dr Who because it was on TV at tea time every Saturday, and we watched it (often from behind the sofa) with our parents, and we discussed it with our friends, and following it was as natural as breathing. And now we're grown up, and we don't particularly do meta, and we don't particularly hate Moffat (because we don't have unrealistic expectations), and we don't love every story, but we still love the programme because it was our first love...

And most of us are perfectly socially ept :-)

I Agree With This Comment (and feel the need to say so in full).

Nothing becomes that successful through batshit hardcore fans alone. Any successful piece of media has many, many fans behind it who simply enjoy the show or whatever and aren't involved in fandom at all, and many others who might dip their toes in fandom, but aren't involved in anything crazy-pants.

Since most people - fans or not - are unaware of or unconcerned with the deep end of fandom, getting all judgey at people who like a popular family show is just going to make people think you're strange.

I'm a toe dipper and this is true!

I only get crazy in real life. With only very very good friends.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think it's a good show but it's really mainstream so dismissing everyone who likes it is a pretty large group of people to dismiss.

[(Anonymous)]

I do too. :/ It just seems so... I can't even put my finger on it. Definitely something that I would never get interested in and have no desire to watch. Ever.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, same. Doctor Who to me is like the mixture of the worst of male and female based fandoms or something? Snobby nerd elitism, fandom wank, mindlessly cooing over the quirky white cute British guy, and so on. Just, no thank you.
And the show itself doesn't even seem that great.

[(Anonymous)]

So you judge people for simply not having the same tastes and prefernces as you? Well, glad we got that one cleared up

[(Anonymous)]

I love this show, but I love it normally? Like, I love it, it's cool, one of my favorite shows, but not like I JUST KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT IT OK WOW IT'S AMAZING WHOA. Because I don't, lol. It's definitely enjoyable but incredibly forgetful. I noticed, though, that more than half of the fandom is the opposite of that. They scrutinize the shits out of it and seem like they literally worship the thing, what even.
