Lore as a sacred shared space:

"But, it's understandable why *some* fans treat lore so seriously. I think it's in part because media itself has become 'third places' and lore is treated as secular Bibles. Third places are venues outside home and work where we usually interact with the rest of society. Pre-internet it was the bar, public spaces, library, community clubs, etc. Now, every show has a fandom and sub-reddit. With lore being elevated as third places, it attracts primacy that is seen by some as sacred, and in need of protection."
