[thingsfandomshavetaughtme]

I just really hate the word "fandom". It's just a portmanteau of "fan" and "random". It sounds like some desperate attempt to be quirky and different. Plus, the word "fanbase" already exists.

idk, i thought it was fan + kingdom, or fanatic + domain??

but yeah, it is a bit weird how we have ‘fandom’ when ‘fanbase’ already existed? but that’s language for you, always changing all the time

[madmaudlingoes]

Actually, Anon, fandom is significantly older than fan base or fanbase; the OED gives the first known citation of fandom meaning “the community of fans of a thing” from 1903, while their first entry for fan base isn’t until the 1970s. If you compare the frequencies of the two terms in Google Ngram Viewer, you’ll see that fandom has historically been far more frequent, with fan base running a distant second (and the closed form fanbase an even more distant third).

The OED also rejects your portmanteau hypothesis, though I suppose sportswriters from the 1900s might’ve been trying to be quirky and different when they coined fandom from the productive derivational suffix -dom, which the OED also gives copies examples of throughout the 1800s (including BA-dom, old fogey-dom, blizzard-dom and theater-dom.

Respect the fandom, guys. It’s older than Steve Rogers. 

[wordsandrobots]

So, seeing as the OED does not provide free access to its sources, I looked this up. According to various webpages, included this one, ‘fandom’ was used in 1903 by the Cincinnati Enquirer to refer to baseball fans.

Thus not only do we have an early example of a word that combines ‘fanatic’ with ’-dom’ as in ‘kingdom’, we also have a useful reminder that when it comes to excessively liking things to the point of it being its own subculture, people who are into sports have the rest of us beat by several orders of magnitude.

[yeoldenews]

As someone who reads a lot of old newspapers - I have to correct the OED as “fandom” was in wide use by the 1890s.

The Minneapolis Journal published a sports column called “Matters in Fandom” in 1892.

Use for non-sports fans dates back to at least the 1910s for film fans…

And the 1940s for science fiction fans…

The “he” in question here being Fritz Lang, director of Metropolis.

Metropolis! 1927

Loved the Stranger Things episode! My attitude towards fandom really has become "it's supposed to be fun goddammit" so I appreciated your breakdown of how sometimes showrunners really are stupid and fans just need to have a good time. Also appreciated how you told people to watch queer media! Brilliant Minds, for example, is a great medical drama on NBC with several canonically queer characters and it's a deeply compassionate show that really cares about issues within the medical industry. Unfortunately, near the end of season 2, NBC pulled the show off tv and it's unclear if the remaining episodes will be released (last I checked). Other fans and I have tried to encourage people to watch since it has a lot of queer rep....alas.

Last thing I'll say is I'm so glad you mentioned 9-1-1! Personally, I think they are building up to a slow-burn for buddie, but I also understand why you'd wait to see what happens to revist. I recommend listening to The Buddie System podcast if you ever want updates on the ship.

Sorry for such a long ask! Can't wait for the next episode!

Thanks for listening! We're happy you liked the episode and we'll add Brilliant Minds to the list. Fingers crossed that things work out for Buddie (like we all hope).

Ive only been into S&H for a few months but I’m just wondering… is the obsession chronic or will it eventually chill out and stop taking over my brain at all times?
