Fan culture, especially the kind that
@medievalpoc I believe is referencing both in video games and fantasy, has a dark side. And that's pretty parallel both in#RaceFail and what is still happening in medieval studies. The affective investment is high and often toxic. - End of conversation

That is the important counterpoint and it's one that fan studies itself needs to grapple with. (c.f.
@RukminiPande's excellent work). -
I write about medieval video games, but I don't think I am a fan. In fact, I have someone else play while I take notes. I watch a lot of youtube and read a lot of digital commentary, but I don't think I would describe this as me being a fan.
