Is speedsolving / twisty puzzling a fandom?

[vm70]

A fandom or a fanbase is a group of people who who often like a person, book, movie, play, team, sport, and so on. People who are a part of their fandom sometimes contribute via fanart, fan games, fan tributes, or fanfiction to websites or forums. Other times, they talk to each other and discuss theories on their respective media. Some fandoms set world records.

We have an entire worldwide association that searches for the best Rubik's Cube solvers. We post tutorials, modding videos, comedy, walkthrough solves, seminars, and more; we even have multiple forums to chat on to discuss new methods, new puzzles, and new records.

Also, please be nice to people who have different opinions.

The community that surrounds a tv show/movie/book etc. Fanfiction writers, artists, poets, and cosplayers are all members of that fandom. Fandoms often consist of message boards, livejournal communities, and people.
The Harry Potter fandom has some of the most diverse fans, from eight year olds to thirty somethings.
