don't bother trying to argue that, because as you can see people won't get the debate at all lol. everyone pulls out examples like WHAT IF THEY NEGLECT THEIR PETS OR BABIES or THEY HAVEN'T LEFT THE HOUSE IN MONTHS AND STAY UP FOR 24 HOURS AT A TIME. extreme (and more rare) examples.

when really, most of the time, when people say someone is over-invested or too "into" something, that person is simply very happy and vocal and involved in it. and there is in fact no evidence that they are neglecting their aunt's dog's puppies in order to watch a tv show episode or whatever.

Or...something like SPN gossip. You telling me those people are sane?

(Anonymous) 2013-10-24 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
sane or not, i don't know. im not their psych. but people like to throw around stuff like delusional/over invested/crazy/etc a shit ton in fandom and it's certainly not only at the extreme types like SPN gossip. that was...pretty much the whole point on my comment so apparently. you missed that.

you're looking at one extreme when someone typing MY FEELS on tumblr gets compared to that group despite sharing nothing else in common but the fandom.

you can say "people are too quick to call other people over-invested" without saying "there is literally no such thing as being over-invested, all levels of investment are equally valid, even if they're poopsocking in order to keep up their surveillance of an actors' house"

there are shades of grey to this shit, people

my rule of thumb? if you're getting overly defensive at the mere idea that some people might be over-invested in fandom, you're probably one of them.

people who feel that their own personal level of investment in something is just fine don't usually feel the need to jump in saying "NOT ME!"
