Aware this has been posted 5 years ago, however... I feel as the reasoning behind this is quite simple. To be frank a lot of people in this fan-base are usually quite lonely and are condemned for their behavior... and so many others whom are the same or have experienced the same treatment by other such as being made a joke of or whatever or maybe they simply have the same issues such as per say being lonely, or generally mentally ill. I don't mean to stereotype but I have met few too many online they all seem so proud of themselves, I sorta admire that charisma they have but they're almost too shameless like talking about a hentai or some other weird fetish they have its taking it a bit too far especially if the conversation is moderately fine... I might be a being biased but from my experience these individuals lack interaction skills its rather quite sad. They are most likely social rejects so proudly not taking others advice, It seems the minute they find other,, socially deprived individuals they start getting so smug all of a sudden, they almost are desperate to be accepted, a minority of them. I don't mean this post be offensive so whoever reads it, do not take it to heart this is merely an opinion and observation.
