but they talk about it with their friends...online. or they just dont talk about it at all, which means they dont really care enough to, and therefor, their opinion is pretty much irrelevant. there's some fans that are more hardcore than others, but the term is just dumb and antiquated. its mostly used as a negative term to dismiss online opinions people dont like. similar to using the word casual dismissingly.
and to be fair, not even everyone here reads all the rumors. for example, Looch barely does if at all, yet he's still a hardcore fan. its why i hate the term IWC, its always used to paint an opinion you dont like with broad strokes.
