(Not the OP, but I feel pressed to speak. Anon because your bunch of friends on some of the previous threads are terrifying.)

Using your example, let's say that the Next Gen fandom made a point of setting up a very specific fandom culture with the express purpose of being different from any other fandom out there in how they do things. Because they're elitist wankers who think they're hot shit.

Then one of these fans shows up in the Stargate fandom, waving their unusual and specialized practices like a banner, and starts saying "Okay, bitches, this is how we're doing it now," and when questioned, play dumb, saying -- "Well...this is just how fandom *works*..."

This is what is happening here.

Individual fandoms are individual cultures. You can't wander out of, say, Harry Potter fandom -- which, though I know many nice members of it, has one of the highest wank-quotients on the entire internet, and does its best to set its own fandom conventions as described above -- and pull a Prof. Harold Hill on the Metalocalypse fandom saying "Let's do it THIS way! And we can all have tea and cookies as you praise me for my good ideas!"

Except, apparently you can. Because certain people are.

This is precisely the situation of which I am speaking. I am glad I am not alone in having taken notice of it. Thank you.

Oh, hon, *Every* fandom has their wankers. The best way is to ignore them. Worked for most fandoms. Just let them go toddle off and do things their way in their little group.

It happens everytime there is a new wave of fans in a fandom.
