Yeah this! I do get genuinely emotional and angry/upset/overinvested in my fandom stuff...but it doesn't last. I brush it off and forget about it when I close my laptop, and I turn my thoughts to other rl stuff and function just fine, but there's just no fun in being in fandom if I can't be a little bit sappily emotional and ranty about it.

It's like watching a movie or reading a book -- I want to be really emotionally affected and caught up in the events the characters experience while I'm absorbed in the story, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna be fundamentally changed or persistently affected by the stuff that happened in the movie/book as if I had lived those events IRL. Participating in fandom is not all that different. It's like...temporarily operating on a different mental level, the way you are while you're caught up in a fictional story.

btw, your icon is amazing :D

At its core fandom is all about becoming emotional and overinvested in something, so really, it would be stranger if discussions didn't get heated as often as they do. I complain all the time about FANS DOING FANDOM WRONG OH MY GOD but i don't mean it. It's just fun to yell about disagreements instead of talking about them calmly, sometimes. :P
