Roger Ebert: Biggest Twilight fan there is, just because he watched the movie and reviewed it.

There is a cinema fandom, and Ebert had a particular soft spot for classic B movies.

Journalists: biggest fans of the Alt-Right fandom.

There is also a journalism fandom, with its own channels of conversation about who is producing what in that area.

Because apparently knowing that something exists = fandom to you.

A fandom is the set of fans who routinely follow a body of artistic or athletic work. Knowing that something exists doesn't make you a fan, but religiously watching every episode does.

People have been trying to tell you that modern day fandom is a Thing That Exists (a subculture), and has conventions and corners of the internet to discuss stuff, but apparently those are non-distinct social phenomena to you, contrary to what sociologists and researchers have determined.

It's not that those groups are not distinct, it's that they're too distinct. People on twitter, tumblr, facebook, and AO3 don't necessarily talk to each other. They don't even talk to people who have different interests in the franchise. Focus on this or that social network to the exclusion of all others and you miss out on a lot. Like little old ladies who obsessively collect Disney kitsch and make annual pilgrimages to Orlando. Or intergenerational Star Wars families. Or fandom discussions that happen in off-topic channels in workplace Slack.

Those are also Things That Exist, and they're part of Fandom even if they don't show up on your narrow news feeds.
