I would agree. I think ‘fan’ would apply to at least being into the lore. I’m not especially into the lore of Star Wars beyond what I see on screen. In Star Trek, I like discussing the lore, the “science,” etc. I’m definitely a fan.
Yes, but I think “FanDom” implies “Fanatical Domination” meaning someone in The “FanDom” of a certain thing is sexually aroused by dominating other with their fanatical following of said thing.
That’s the only explanation I’ve been able to come up with and I find it hilarious so I’m sticking with it.
I’ve never understood this rift… I like Star Trek and Star Wars. Can’t we just agree that we’re all sci-fi nerds?
They’re very different takes on futuristic sci fi.
I enjoy Star Wars but I’m not a “fan”, it’s just a very different series to what I most enjoy watching.

Uhhhgggh I have to be that nerd, Star Wars isn’t the future, it’s a long time ago, in the past.
In a galaxy far, far away.
Literally not in our galaxy. Not in a close one either. Star Trek is, with the exception of 1 episode (?), in the milky way galaxy.
They’re literally the first things we learn about Star Wars.
If only it were that easy.
Gundam scares me because I know I will love it, and there is such a huge amount of it that I may never crawl back out of that hole.
Gundam has so many reboots and varying timelines and stuff.
I personally think 8TH MS Team is the peak show for a grounded war story version.

And Cons are about conning people into buying fan merchandize and provide a free advwrtisement in a form of cosplay.
My daughter likes going to cons just to look at the cosplay and she never buys anything, so I guess they only conned her out of the entry fee.
And fans are blowhards trying to push their favourite thing on others a spread it further and further.
So say we all.
NEVER!
