Re: Nerd Elitism

I find it insufferable when casual fans aren't allowed to exist.

On one hand, I get it. It's frustrating when someone says they also love something you do, and you start blathering only to realize by "love" they mean they've seen three episodes. Fine, but you can really love the show and not have it memorized, or the books, whatever.

By that same token, when I was in the Harry Potter fandom, I remember people HATED kid fans for asking JK Rowling "stupid questions." I mean, okay, we all rolled our eyes when the kids asked her what Harry's favorite cereal is, but... it's a children's/YA series. What exactly did we expect? (I include myself because I was totally snobby about it at the time. Not so proud of said snobbery, in hindsight.)

I'm not sure if any fandoms have that with kid fans now? I can see it hitting Star Wars.

+100 to all of this

I like trivia like "what is his favorite cereal" about characters lol

but yeah I agree with this. "hardcore" people shitting on "casual" people is as obnoxious in general fandom as it is in gaming.

AYRT - Well, the problem is we all wanted really in-depth stuff, like was one character ever married and to who, what happened to another character who disappeared, hints so we could explode more with ALL THE THEORIES.... Harry's favorite cereal just wasn't that insightful.

Ah. Well, when you put it that way, I understand your frustration - though I think a mixed bag isn't a bad thing.

Same.

It's one thing for the kid fans to ask cute random questions, it's another when an adult fan takes it too far. I've been to one too many Q&As where I just cringe.

Star Wars seems to love the kid fans I've seen so far. Mostly just how much they love the cosplays.
