If you're a fan of a band, cartoon show, or other thing, and you get involved in the fan community, and they turn on you, does that mean you have to stop liking said thing?

my answer:

Of course not. Fuck the fan community : D
They aren’t the reason you got into said thing, and you are allowed your own opinions outside of any crowd. Crowds scare me. Who is leading the crowd? Why do individuals love to jump on the bandwagon of a group-opinion? What ever happened to gray areas? And fandom, as much as it benefits me, is something I also find strange. Anyway, I’m on the verge of a tangent so suffice it to say you can like whatever you damn please, regardless of who also likes it or opposes you.
