That's where you're wrong. Being a fan is about having the guts you understand what you love for what it is. It's about loving something great despite its flaws.

I reiterate: do you seriously believe that every single game/movie needs a sequel? I'm not saying "it will certainly suck", I'm saying there's no reason to continue a story that's over. I'm a Mass Effect fan, but that doesn't mean I have to blind myself to every stupid thing BioWare does, and bow at their feet. A true fan criticises their favourite game more harshly than any other game, because you should want it to get better. I point out BioWare's fallacies and poor writing decisions because I want them to get better and achieve their potential. Handwaving everything they do and pretending those problems don't exist is nothing short of short-sighted and delusional. A real fan wants the artist's work to get better; you shouldn't simply always support the artist. Once again, because artists do not always know what's best.

So yes, I'm a fan.
