Telling actors you like or think are hot is not the same as sharing your "wank bank." Do you not get excited when you see an actor you like in something? Do you not talk about that with the people nearby or the people in your life? I'm pretty sure most people do that.

And I don't think the OP is exactly hiding her own fangirlness, or the MIL wouldn't feel so comfortable about sharing. So OP is a hypocrite.

OP said "gush". It's one thing to mention which actors you find attractive. It's something completely different to sit there while your relative leers and lips their lips over someone's abs or tight ass.

And I don't think the OP is exactly hiding her own fangirlness, or the MIL wouldn't feel so comfortable about sharing. So OP is a hypocrite.

Now you're really reaching. You've seriously never heard of people who are so enthusiastic about a topic that they overshare? You've never heard of people in fandom who miss social cues and go on and on about things that non-fandom people look askance at?

Gushing doesn't equate to leering and licking her lips over someone's abs and tight ass, what the fuck.

Going on about your celebrity crush's new project/interview/how generally awesome they are aren't they awesome let's watch that movie for the tenth time is gushing. And it can be really, really annoying, but acting as though it makes someone a pathetic piece of shit makes the person doing the judging 1) an asshole and 2) a hypocrite if they hang out in fandom spaces where we do that all the time.

I said that to make a point that there is a type of gushing that could easily strike an unreceptive audience as icky.

But the point is, the person in question wasn't doing this in a fandom space. They were doing it to a person who wasn't interested in the topic, without regard to that person's feelings.
