True, fandom does tend to maintain a certain level of WTFery on a regular basis. It only seems to get worse with time, ya know? I think it's because I was so far away from it all in those pre-internet days.
With great communication comes great wank? I think part of it is a) how quickly news (and also misunderstandings) spread, and b) how many more people of all ages are semi-anonymously talking with/at each other (exponential potential for FAIL(boat) (http://www.shipmentoffail.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/failboat.jpg)).
Failboat for the win! It's even worse imo because people are removed from that face-to-face filter that keeps most conversation in tolerable ranges. All I can say is, O the Internets.
