When it comes to being a fan of a band...

What does not matter:

• You’ve seen them live
• You have their merch
• How long you’ve been a fan for
• How old you are
• How you dress
• Your favourite member
• Whether or not they helped through something hard
• How you found out about them
• You know all the inside jokes in the fanbase
• If you ship the slash or whatever
• If you find them attractive

What DOES matter:

• You love the music

All fans are equal.
