Ugh, more personal-investment creepiness. We’re supposed to be electing an administrator, an executive, not your best-pal who shares your sub-cultures. It’s a cheap lazy ploy to piggy back on communities that actually bothered to win your fandom.
This is a corollary to the ol’ saw about mixing religion and politics- mixing politics and your favorite (movie/show/book) is a bad idea because it isn’t going to make politics any better, and it’s going to sully your favorite (movie/show/book).
