(Anonymous) 2022-08-19 01:54 am (UTC)(link)However, as much as you can call it brand worship, I'd argue it's still fandom. Fandom exists because people want it to exist. Whether it's around a product, and idea, etc. It doesn't make it any less a fandom. Technically, certain aspects of fandom could be called "intellectual property worship". I'm an artist, so while I'm not a fan of omg people are slobbering over some ad company's ideas, I won't take away someone else's fun nor say that the ad person behind it wasn't clever -- because even advertising is storytelling. The ends of the story telling may be different (and artist might just want to express a story for the sake of the story that needs to get out, vs the profit or selling a product. And Frankly, even something like marvel becomes a profit making venture). Anyway. What I'm trying to say is fandom is what people make it, and they'll express it in different ways.

I used to read fics for Mayhem, from Progressive. I even checked out the Folgers brother/sister fic once. That commercial was...hmmm...lol

(Anonymous) 2022-08-19 07:50 am (UTC)(link)There are some...genre categories within fandom, for lack of a better term, that I have negative interest in. Anthropomorfic, reader fic, interactive fiction, Youtube RPF, etc. Some of them, like reader fic, I even have trouble wrapping my mind around as to why anyone would like them. But my personal incomprehension doesn't make them illegitimate forms of fandom, and it doesn't make the fans who participate in them any less fannish.
