Final Exam: Reflecting on Fandom Ethics
Friday, 8 August, 2025

In this season finale, we’re unpacking what it really means to be an “ethical fan” today, and how the system around fandom often makes that harder than it should be. From the rise of the “respectable fan” to the quiet pressures of celebrity worship, this finale takes a look at the systems, marketing and cultural expectations that shape how fans behave — and how they’re perceived. We’re asking tough questions about performance, proximity and power in order to name the dynamics that often go unchecked. This episode isn’t about having the final answers. It’s about making space for a smarter, more grounded kind of fandom. One that sees the full picture, and still chooses to care.
