I just came across a few wikis which could be pretty disturbing... If you call them "Fandoms". An Emo wiki with pages about self harm, some wikis about weapons / tanks / war etc. there are actually hentai wikis (Bible Black etc). Would be awkward calling them "Suicide Fandom", "War Fandom", "Hentai Fandom" and so on...

Instead of them being informational wikis, they become something else, something cringey / horrible because of this rebrand... "Fandom" is not a positive thing. The longer I think about this, the more negative things I realize about it.

Everyone knows what a Wiki is but renaming it to Fandom just makes things complicated and would need some explanations on what it is. You just cant take anything seriously anymore if you label it as a "Fandom".
