Fandom Gone Rogue
Movie Theater | Friendly
| January 16, 2017
(This is a conversation between Friend #1, who is a Trekkie, and my husband and me, in the movie theater before ‘Rogue One’ begins…)
Friend #1: “Okay there are Trekkies, Browncoats, Whovians… What do you call Star Wars fans… Nerfherders?”
Husband: “Until you have a television serial and a bunch of rabid fans takes over the dorm TV room on a weekly basis and piss people off, you don’t get a named fandom.”
Friend #1: “Yeah, but how do they refer to themselves even?”
Me: *waves hand while looking intently at [Friend #1]* “Our fandom does not NEED a label. Move along.”
