Now I understand Star Wars Fans

I read an interesting article at JiveMagazine about the peculiar nature of Star Wars fans.

Andrey Summers was trying to explain his fixation with the Star Wars series to his girlfriend when he came to a realization: Star Wars fans hate Star Wars

I am trying to think of another group of fans that loves to hate the thing they are into... to the point of pathological neurosis. I mean, the theory makes total sense to me now.

I mean, I do enjoy hating things, but usually the things I pick apart aren't the same things I am a fan of.



As someone who exists outside the Star Wars fan community, it is a stunning revelation. Do the symptoms sound familiar to any one of you in the non-gaming community(because let's face it, gamers are the original player haters ball).
