OP's argument, as I understand it, is that some parts of fandom are mainstream, but many more parts of fandom are not mainstream.

I don't think OP is making a judgment on any of those parts being more or less real. Just stating that some parts of it are mainstream and some parts of it aren't.

idk I'm not ayrt but OP's secret is kind of "pfft, you think liking a GoT episode is FANDOM? Yeah, sure!" which does seem divisive to me. I don't think it's necessarily a knock against casuals, but I'm still reading it as "real nerds write fanfic" sort of thing.

Well, no. The secret doesn't say that, either. It specifically says that if geeking out over GoT is all that fandom is, then sure, fandom is mainstream. It doesn't say anything about liking GoT not being fandom.

I am telling you how it reads to me, with the "LOL sure" setting the tone for the GoT comment. Sounds like I'm not the only one who read it that way, too.

Oh, I understand that some people are interpreting it differently. But if you (and that other person(s) are trying to say that your interpretation is in the actual secret, well... it's not. I think you and the other(s) are misunderstanding OP's point.

you're a bit oversensitive

take a few deep breaths
