Every time someone from the fanfic/fanworks community uses "fandom" to refer exclusively to same, I hate that community a little more.
@jenphalian What? You knew I was a horrible person. I was set off by http://the-toast.net/2013/09/19/brief-history-slash/ …, if you're curious.

@jenphalian I said as much in a comment but apparently that's too horrific a sentiment to get past the censors, so I was like, Twitter ho! -
@chaosprime [alternate reply: well, if that's the hill you want to die on...] -
@jenphalian Yes, I am definitely going to work out some way to *die* for this cause. It will take ingenuity, but dammit there must be a way. -
@chaosprime that was just a callback to earlier convo re: criticism policing -
@jenphalian I know. :) It was a good callback. -
@chaosprime :) Didn't mean it to be actually annoying. :) -
@jenphalian Oh, no, it wasn't. I was just playing with the hyperbole already inherent in the thing. -
@chaosprime Lol, okay :) *goes out in search of actual hill* *is in texas, they don't have hills here* *winds up at alamo*

@chaosprime *skimming* Okay. Well, I disagree with you and will keep referencing $-fandoms because mutable language blah blah etc. -
@jenphalian I don't get how it's okay to use "Potter-fandom" to exclude HP fans who neither produce nor consume HP fanfic/fanworks. -
@chaosprime When I'm not talking about fic stuff, HP fandom is fans of HP. I don't think my use of the term is strange. -
@jenphalian Well, your usage is good and reasonable, then. I think in other hands it is not used so carefully. -
@chaosprime I think we've had this entire conversation before. Sorry about poor term usage making you feel excluded. -
@jenphalian Yeah, they must have edited the Matrix. Thank you for your sympathy in this matter. :)

@chaosprime@jenphalian Wow. Men a minority "in fandom"? That ... Wow. Talk about small world view. -
@AlbredaAylese Yeah, I'm sayin'. It's perfectly accurate if "fandom" means fanfic/fanworks.@jenphalian -
@AlbredaAylese Too bad "fanficdom" is too specific and "fanworksdom" is brand-DOA.@jenphalian
