The '''Silent Majority''' are the people who are in a [[Fandom]] but don't feel the need to speak about how they like the work they're a fan of to the internet, or even in real life. Both senses of "how" - they don't talk about their fandom, and they don't say exactly what it is that makes them a fan. Their silence keeps them out of the [[Unpleasable Fanbase]]; their attitudes can be learned only by implication, by measuring the difference between open comment and [[Ratings]] and making educated guesses about what's in the gap. |
