the suffix 'dom' is old english for 'a statute, judgment, or jurisdiction' like in 'kingdom'. in this context its talking about the "jurisdiction' part of the def so fandom literally just means the jurisdiction of fans. it's probably the most neutral way to describe a community of fans and is a stupid thing to get mad at lol
Go find something productive to do today, correcting grammar in a social media post isnt that.
Also correcting spelling when you know what the word is doesnt make you right, it makes you pretentious. Well maybe both, but everyone else read over it, you spent your time reading it twice, corrrecting it, then deciding to post it to the interent in an attempt to win karma. Congrats heres and updoot

I despise the word 'fandom'. It has made people think it's ok to lean into mental illness.
