Why does fandom have to be a binary thing where there's one thing that gets called fandom and you're either in it or out of it

Because on the internet, fandom refers to a subculture, and you definitely know when you're not a part of it.

It's not. But a lot of people make really bad generalizations like equating SU fandom to tumblr purity wankery. Tumblr isn't the only SU fandom space out there, and a lot of people follow the show religiously (including news about the show) and talk about it with friends without engaging in wank.

Or "fandom is all fanfic/shipping." Which is putting a single minority practice on a pedestal.

And I've encountered cases where "I'm not in fandom because..." is something of a political statement. Like the Western RPG fans who can talk your ear off about stat balances but cry that romance and NPC subplots are feminizing their space. Or comic book fans who can tell you who inked every single story arc in the history of their favorites but engage in performative disgust over shipping.

Do you think that OP is actually doing any of those things in this instance?
