there's a huge difference between just being enthusiastic about something and being over-invested, though.

if you can't have a discussion about any topic without somehow trying to tie it in to your fandom? that's being over-invested. if you take someone not liking your canon or a particular pairing or character in it as a personal attack? that's being over-invested.

i love my fandoms, i love the characters and the plotlines and i can happily talk about them for hours - to someone who wants to listen. but i also know when to tone it down, and if someone doesn't like my favorite pairing, it's no skin off my nose. it's pretty easy to tell when someone has crossed the line from "enthusiastic" to "now you're just getting creepy."

But telling someone (behind their backs) that they're over-invested is such an unimaginative and petty put-down. Even for wank it is the cheap-ass version. At least TRY to formulate what the problem really is, please?

sometimes that IS the problem. "you are over-invested in this fandom/ship/whatever to the point that you get personally upset if someone else doesn't like it" or "to the point where you can't talk about anything else."

anyone who doesn't think that it can be a problem hasn't ever been stuck in a line to see a movie with someone who could not stop talking about the full history of blah blah blah and how they changed x and y from the original comics because in the comics, it was actually z who did this one thing and they don't understand why the producers had to change that because don't you know how crucial it was to z's character?

there are some things that are not excusable by any level of enthusiasm, full stop.
