The Fans Of Bionicle Club


Toa Nidhiki05

868 views

The club is for fans of BIONICLE. Now, some people think that they are a better fan then another person, and, to a certain extent, that can be considered (partially) correct. However, I believe the idea that some people are 'truer' fans then others is just plain wrong, and I'm quite confident that is hitting the nail on the head with this.

 

A fan can choose to be 'blind', or they can choose to not be 'blind' (unless they, you know, actually are blind, in which case they really have no choice on the matter). A fan can think BIONICLE is absolutely perfect and worship it, or they can think it is flawed. A fan can hate Hero Factory with every ounce of their existence, or they can absolutely love it. A fan can try and revive BIONICLE, or he choose not to.

 

A fan can do whatever he wants with his fandom, and it does not make him any more 'true' of a fan. A 'true' fan isn't unilaterally decided by some random person who thinks up a definition off the top of his head, and that label certainly does not give someone the right to demean others because they disagree; 'true' fans are no more or less 'true' than anyone else.

 

In other words, to sum it up, any fan of BIONICLE is a 'true' fan, regardless of their viewpoint. A 'true' fan can worship BIONICLE and despise Hero Factory, or he can be glad BIONICLE ended.

 

Does this mean we don't think there are varying 'degrees' of fandom? Of course not; some fans of BIONICLE may be casual fans, others may be hardcore fans who own every set. Is the 'hardcore' fan a bigger fan then the 'casual'? In terms of his activity, yes; however, the 'casual' fan is no less 'true' of a fan then the 'hardcore' one.

 

Simply put, all fans are equal, none are more 'true' than others.

 

That is what we, some of the fans of BIONICLE, believe. Doubtless some other fans of BIONICLE will disagree, but they have every right to.

You know, there's a website for this. :P

 

Joking aside, go ahead and sign me up. The only thing I really dislike about this club is the use of hyperboles.

Wait, isn't this like, the extreme opposite of the arguments you were using in the Don't bring back Bionicle club? :P

 

But sign me up.

This is a far cry from "If you don't want BIONICLE back you were never a fan in the first place"

 

:P

 

Sign me up regardless.

I'll join.

 

Too bad you already said otherwise because I could barely resist rephrasing that quote from Animal Farm.

god, can we just stop with the frigging clubs already?

 

plus you seem to have completely misunderstood the True Fans Club

 

I've not misunderstood anything; when you make a club and unilaterally define 'true fan', you are basically saying anyone who disagrees with you is not a real fan, and I think that is wrong.

nope.avi

 

read the whole entry and at least skim the comments next time, before making assumptions and stating them as fact.

 

This is what we, the true fans of Bionicle, believe.

 

I have, and I see no link between your claim and the (repeated) statements in your post and comments claiming it's members as the 'true fans of BIONICLE'; you can't call yourself that without everyone else being 'fake'.

Apparently you didn't bother even skimming the comments where Takuma clarified the meaning of the club and also admitted that "True Fans" was a poor choice of words.

 

At any rate, the club activity has died down substantially, nobody's really even talking about it anymore, so why on earth do you even feel the need to start some kind of response club (which is like.. the fifth of its kind)? If you don't like it, the smart thing to do is just let it die, not to bring more attention to it.

...In your opinion.

How is it ever a good idea to combat something by bringing more attention to it..?

 

besides, there's already a couple clubs almost exactly like this.
