I really don't think OP meant that anyone should draw a rigid line between "friends" and "fandom friends", though, or that anyone would outright refuse to move on from "fandom friendship" to "official friendship" if that were a natural development in the relationship. The issue is more with how apparently some people can't much interact with one another without wanting to be super close from the get-go -- and that can come off as creepy, invasive or just downright annoying to people who really just want to come online and trade a few headcanons or read some fics instead of diving head-first into what can be seen as a very artificial intimacy to begin with.

Normal friendships usually develop from having interests in common anyway, if the people involved want that. What's not very normal is to pressure people into being on a first-name basis or meeting up in real-life or disclosing all of their preferences, political ideologies and whatnot just because someone wants to reblog a single post from you on Tumblr or something.

This. It's one thing if a friendship develops that way naturally - I have a whole bunch of fandom friends who have gone on to become RL friends because we enjoy each other's company outside of our mutual fandom. But I also have plenty of other fandom friends where our interaction is limited to talking about said fandom and that's all that either of us really wants out of it and that's fine.
