FANDOMS & FANS

    In this article I want to express my opinion about fandoms and fans. Every single one of us belongs in one or more fandoms for many, personal reasons and because it makes us happy. We find an artist or a band and we dedicate ourselves to them. Also, we meet new people and we share our common interests. Fandoms are like families, everyone is in them for the same purpose. And now, the point of this passage : NOT ALL THE FANS ARE THE SAME! What I mean with this? Although all the fans of a certain fandom love the same person, they are different to each other, they have their personality and character, their advatages and drawbacks, their our routine and lifestyle. We cannot judge someone by the fandom they belong to. A few fans sometimes become agressive to other fans of their fandom or of another one.
     Here's an example of what I mean. Imagine a band, theis name is "Happy Cakes" and their fans are called "Bakers". There's also a singer, called "Ellie Hickenbottom" and her fans "hicks". One day, a "baker" decides to chat with a "hick" and he/she talks badly about Ellie. Then, "hicks" start saying that all the bakers are bad people, just because ONE person was bad with Ellie. (These names does NOT exist in reality, just in case you didn't noticed that XD)
     In addition, when I go out and meet new people at school or at a club or at a party or anywhere and I say that I'm directioner, belieber and swiftie, they make fun of me and mock my idols., because they are biased. It makes me really sad when people offend something that makes me smile, that makes me proud! It's also wrong to judge others just because they belong in a certain fandom.

What's your view on this issue? Leave it in the comments and thanks for reading!
