Aura wrote:"Almost"? Understatement of the week there. I think being obsessive and "crazy" is just pretty standard for being a fan of something. It's not really an issue for me personally. I mean, sure I occasionally find the fandom weird, and it's occasionally hard to interact with the fans because I don't get the fan mindset, but whatever. That could go for anyone.
I find myself thinking about this reply very often.
What exactly did you mean by not understanding the fan mindset?
Were you referring to the fan mindset for Katawa Shoujo or fan mindsets in general?
For either, would you mind pointing out what isn't understandable or explaining a bit?
I had always assumed that everyone was at least a fan of something.
I've met a couple of people that say they don't understand fan mindsets in general, so I've become a bit interested in such a view point whether it's specific or not.
EDIT: I don't want to take up more space in the actual thread; I'll just edit this post.
Your reply has really helped me understand what you and other folks have been saying about not understanding the fan mindset.
Thank you very much for answering my question!
