I think fandomness is often scary in general because you have all of these opinions about a show and then you hit people who don't have the same opinions (and feel rightfully just as strongly as you do), but it is then a huge shock because it never crossed your mind that X character could actually be such a locus for loathing. And I find it often ends up with me spouting off about things I like in stronger ways than I would otherwise have in reaction. I should be above that, but sadly I am not.
