The word "fan", originally descended from "fanatic", suggests a sense of loyalty to something, usually a particular media franchise. And most fans are, for the most part, a fairly resilient breed who will put up with a lot. However, you can only push them so far; if a fan perceives their loyalty to have been abused or betrayed, the disillusionment that follows can be bitter indeed. Whilst some may soldier on, resulting in the formation of various [[Broken Base|Broken]] and [[Unpleasable Fanbase|Unpleasable Fanbases]], true [[Fan Disillusionment]] occurs when a fan abandons the show, book, or whatever it was that they lost faith in for good.
