Being a fan is hard. In this video I look at how fandom has affected the way I interact with some of my favourite media, and go on to discuss the line where fandom crosses into something else, something harmful.

Music:

VARIOUS HORSES - KALR FIVE
THE TRACK TEAM - RED LOTUS THEME
HIROYUKI SAWANO - BEFORE MY BODY IS DRY (INSTRUMENTAL)
HIROYUKI SAWANO - KIRYUU G@ KILL

I also make music on occasion.

So I couldn't actually find any videos that approached this topic in the way I did, nor anything on links between nationalism and fandom, so instead I'm linking a few videos I'm a big fan of, particularly ones I think deserve more views.

TheFlyingMuke - *NotWizards Episode 1* - Full disclosure: the guy who made this series was in the year above me in High School, but this series is amazing. Really short too for those who are time poor :)

Cracked - *The Importance of Reaching Out To Old Teachers - People Watching #8* - Back when Cracked still made videos there was a period where they weren't putting out much that was any good after which this series was produced. I was really excited to see how this series might develop. This was my favourite episode of that series and although I'm sad to see After Hours go this was the series I was most sad to hear wouldn't carry on with the closure of Cracked Studios.

vewn - *floatland* - I only recently found vewn. The whole channel is incredible, every single video is amazing. I didn't mean to make this whole bonus links list animation, so I'll add another one after this, but this video is amazing, the work that went into each video is insane, and deserves so much more attention.

Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows - *Morii: The Desire to Capture a Fleeting Experience* - If you haven't seen a video from Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows yet this is a great one to start with, I love this video as I do everything released on that channel - legitimately wonderful stuff and highly recommended.
