What makes a "real fan," though? [meta]

thecolorffooff:

I dont really understand the portal 2 fandom on tumblr

I mean its an amazing game but it feels like people are inflating the number of things to talk/post/fan about far exceeding what there is to talk about for the actual game

Like I’m p sure if someone who didn’t know anything about portal saw all the stuff on tumblr about portal 2 theyd think it was some 500 hour sci fi rpg with a deep romantic love triangle plot and

nop its just a bunch of obstacle courses

I don't think everyone's interested in my take on the small debacle this caused, so it's below the cut. Spoiler alert: I actually don't reply to the main topic at hand very much, but, instead, focus a specific part of one reply that the original post got.
