The Psychology of Fan Bases
The Implications of Repetitive Arguments.
When you keep hearing the same argument over and over from the same fan base, it typically means that there is a shared belief within that community.
I personally from two different persons, and I heard them repeating the same arguments word for word. Ignoring it is not an option because it happens all the time.
There is a legitimate concern that the fan base is addressing. But, there is misinformation or a lack of understanding of some facts. The latter can be challenging because the fanatics are prone to resist information contradicting their beliefs.
The first implication of repetitive arguments is the echo chamber effect. It means communities reinforce each other beliefs without considering external perspectives. Those beliefs might leech out and influence others.
The other problem arises from the power of consensus. This phenomenon is when repetitive arguments become the accepted wisdom within a fan base, and the bigger they are, the more influence it has on others’ perspectives this can lead to bias and unfairness in decision-making.
Overall, It’s essential to consider the context of those repetitive arguments. However, it is far more important to critical thinkers. Not doing so will have negative consequences for the community as a whole.
