   Yeah, any extreme (extremist?) fandom is scary. I'm a huge   
   nerd/geek/whatever, but I love all sorts of properties to a moderate   
   degree. Anyone who obsesses over one thing, be it trek, firefly,   
   twilight etc so the degree that some people do, to the point that it   
   becomes almost the defining thing in their life... well like I said, scary.   
      
   It's like... when I was a kid I was Ninja Turtles crazy for a while, as   
   millions of people my age were. They were the best thing ever, which was   
   fine, until I realized they weren't actually the best thing ever and   
   that there were lots of other cool things to like. Some adults seem to   
   have that same sort of kid-like mania over these things. Some seem to   
   actually be quite unhinged and somewhat dangerous even, especially when   
   they start to think they own the franchise they love.
