well I don't think Barcelona wants Maxwell to leave. but historically, what Mino Raiola wants Mino Raiola gets, unfortunately. (it's all a huge conspiracy theory, but how the hell else do you explain the way Zlatan and Maxwell always seem to end up together.)
yeah, idk, I can actually think of specific people who talk as if the fact that their criteria for fannish selection is different from the fangirls' makes them somehow superior, and it really gets me mad. maybe you were raised to like a club, maybe you think their captain is good-looking, maybe you like the uniform - who the fuck cares, it's all arbitrary. if you care about the club, if you're happy when they win and sad when they lose, then you're a fan, full stop. privileging your own reasons for being a fan is just patting yourself on the back, and it does in fact make you a dick. there is no right or wrong reason to be a fan. (tumblr makes me make this rant every once in a while, even though I know nobody reads my text posts, haha. sorry that you seem to be on the receiving end this time.) I just feel that you can have genuine and very deep feelings that start from something quite superficial - I feel really deeply about Barcelona, fuck knows why - and I get offended when someone tells me that my caring is worth less than theirs because, idk, I don't really like watching the game. WHATEVER.
