The cult of friendship? · 7:05am Apr 3rd, 2013
I've often find myself accused of being brain-washed. Although I have no problem with a nice clean brain I never quite understood the merit of their accusation.
So there are perhaps some ways where our fandom does look much like a cult.
1: we have a creed we follow, well some of us, just me? To love and to tolerate
2: We have great gatherings and share different media of our shared interest.
3: We preach and defend the ideas of the show...
However. We are just like minded people right?
1: It's a a TV program we enjoy.
2: It's message isn't always transparently clear.
3: We don't have a leader, except maybe... All hail the might Faust...
4; We do wear similar garb but this is just to support and express our enjoyment of the show...
I'd like to know what you other fic writers and readers think about this. Are we a cult... Or are we just human? Which by our very nature makes us find patterns where they do not exist.
