Gatekeepin' it real: On the natural condition of fandom

You are just moving goal posts.

Do you actually understand the difference between them?

"Fandom" and "The Fan Community" are not the same. Even if every other fan refuses to interact with you for whatever reason, they have no right to say that you're not a fan.

True. But fan community is an encapsulated part of fandom. So there is a difference. But one of these is housed within the other and is just a more specific part/component.

Dumb question.

Did i say the word fandom?

Nope.

Sure though.

I'll use this definition, the first one on urban dictionary:
"When someone takes it upon themselves to decide who does or does not have access or rights to a community or identity."

Lets say no card carrying member of NAMBLA should ever be a trusted dm. Ever. Ever ever ever. Not even when stygia thaws over.

Now, you may say that was an extreme example. But needed to be shown just how far off you were thinking this would be hard. Of course there are infinite reasons. I gave you an extreme one to show you how simple such an example is so that you would realize that there would be multitudinous examples.

Because im not bothering to list a "couple". Take this example and just apply it to everything similar. Should get you a few thousand reasons befote you run out of ways to thibk of novel related scenarios.

You just made me search for NAMBLA you litle troll.

And there is absolutely a difference between removing bad actors and saying someone is not part of a community just because. One is extremely justifiable the other is not. Surely you can at least tell the difference.

Dumb question.

Yet the complete lack of answer is really quite telling.

Already gave a good answer.
Your deflection wont work.
That was only me acknowledging said deflection as a dumb one.

Yeah. Not trolling. Im pretty serious about it. Not a joking matter.

Also my response to another recent poster effectively answered that question anyway. Even though it didnt need an answer.

Essentially you disnt realize it but i supplied an answer to your deflection before you even made it. You just have to scroll a little way back.

I address why the difference is not one of exclusion but one of broadness. Irrelevant essentially.

But do you actually understand the difference? Because even your answer seems very confused.
Also just saying people are moving goalposts is not an actual answer. That is actually trying to deflect away from answering with any meaningful contribution or relevance.
