Apply echo chamber/group delusion effect. Shake vigorously. Serve.

Lmao, that's a fantastic way of putting it. xD

But that is also a very good point about how group-mentality will affect people's perceptions, I have seen otherwise well-reasoned individuals absolutely get lost in fandom-delusion and convince themselves that something is 'going to happen' despite the canon never indicating as such at all. I can understand it to an extent because of wishful thinking, but not to a 'there's a secret hidden ending' level because that's so clearly off-base that you'd have to be willfully misinterpreting everything and just throwing basic logic out of the window.

Yeah, I think when a person wants something to be true obsessively, that's already pretty persuasive. And then when other people who feel the same way they do start saying, "Yeah, that seems legit, I think these conclusions are logical and sound," it becomes incredibly persuasive.

You would think that at some point logic would prevail. Like, no, they didn't film a secret episode, that's crazy talk. But there's a circular, self-reinforcing "logic" to these sorts of things that doesn't break down easily.
