All those things are absolutely true. But I don't think negative behaviours determine whether or not something is a fandom. Stalking, harassment and hurting people also occurs in fandoms centered around TV shows and movies. We blame the people who engaged in that toxic behavior, we don't say well, Supernatural isn't a fandom then because people stalk actors' wives and engage in tinhattery. It's a fandom, with some toxic fans.

idk man I'd think harassing families of murder victims because you have a theory they're withholding evidence is not equal to writing tinhat manifestos about Supernatural actors boning.

toxic fans are toxic, yeah, but let's be real that not all toxic behaviors are on the same level and some things are, in fact, worse than others.

But we're only talking about a matter of degree, then. I don't claim that tinhatters are as bad as people who stalk IRL families of murder victims. But negative behavior in fans doesn't determine what is or is not a fandom.
