Re: Oh please can we have astrological wank, oh please?

How's that?
Everything in human social life is entirely arbitrary and can look equally silly when one decides to put it through an "objective" lens. Fandom is not only a bunch of people who are "into" something as a group, it's a community of people who create and feed off of the feeling of solidarity created by the collective. Fandom does more than give people an escape and allows them to have a good time, in invokes a social identity that is greater than the individual. It's not unlike a group of people who tail gate at foot ball games, and the result of making light or fun of their identity as fans of their team might earn you a punch in the face.

What pretentious twaddle. Obviously I'm big on fandom and recognize its value. Doesn't mean I don't think it's ridiculous when someone thinks they're astrally married to characters or actually think they're a Hufflepuff. Even if we lived inside the Harry Potter universe OP would most likely not be a Hufflepuff. And even if they were Hufflepuff is just a silly school house and would be overreacting when getting defensive over sterotypical jokes.

Actually, supposing they were literally a Hufflepuff, I can easily see getting offended. The Sorting Hat looks into your head to determine what sort of person you are--an affront on your house is an affront on your character. It's saying YOU'RE stupid or useless, not just the House.

Which is one of the reasons I find the sorting system disturbing.
