fan out
(slang) To display (or reveal) oneself as a fan or obsessive.
Seen in the wild
it's such a consistently well-regarded show among mecha heads, it's wild that some dedicated fan out there hasn't buckled down and got that done by now
I became a fan out of pure spite I was so sick of people just blatantly lying and trying to tear down a woman that I became a fan in the process lol
nothing makes me happier than finding another fan out there!
Hi @georgetakei.bsky.social I followed you on Twitter for years and made the move to BlueSky with you. You’re a man of reason- I need your help deciding which 3 of these paintings to enter into a show. Help a fan out!
