So, really, there's no point in disagreeing because they kind of have to do it. It just sounds worse by coincidence. And yeah, I guess. The only problem is,

If you have a friend how has no idea what fandom is, then how will you explain your making a "fandom"?

Here is some exmaples.

1:

You: "I'm going to make a wiki about my favoirite TV show!"

Them: "Nice."

They know a wiki is a website where you can learn stuff about a certain subject.

Now how about this?

2:

You: "I'm going to make a Fandom about my favorite TV show!"

Them: "Um...what?

If they don't know what Fandom is, they will have no idea what your talking about. I think wiki is better... You can't just make an entire FANDOM.... Like, if there are people in a wiki, let's say, PBS kids wiki, that would be considered a FANDOM, but the wiki itself is a wikipedia, encyclopedia, or something. It gives info about something, while the Fandom does, like, make fanart for the game, basically, um... (I need to think of another word for weeb or otaku) obsessed over the game? But calling someone a weeb is quite rude....
