A name is something that people take very seriously — and yes, that includes online pseudonyms. Names are a part of who you are. And as the internet becomes more and more popular, and as most people are anonymous on the internet, who you are can be defined by a username. Most people wouldn’t just sit passively if their name was mispronounced or misspelled. This is a misspelling, in a sense, and it should be taken seriously.

People abbreviate my username all the time. If you are starting to identify as your username then maybe you’re spending too much time online.

I tend to watch the SE sometimes

Yep, before it was a choice between watching Star Wars in acceptable modern quality on DVD or Blu-ray, or digging out my old VHS tapes. (I wasn’t even aware of the GOUT.) So I would bite the bullet and watch the SE. But in truth for a long time, thanks to my disillusionment with the SE and the prequels, I basically stopped being a Star Wars fan. I wasn’t happy about it, and it wasn’t even something I consciously did, my enthusiasm for the series just kind of faded away. I hadn’t seen the movies in years until TFA and my discovery of this site re-ignited it. The Despecialized Editions were one hell of a treat.

After TFA I pretty much gave up on calling myself a “fan”. I like the first three movies. As a franchise I don’t care.

…The same reason Blade Runner wasn’t only released as a deluxe box? For the exact reasons that I explained, that some people who would have no interest in buying a deluxe box would buy the OUT? And Disney likes money so they don’t want to limit their target demographics?

That’s not the strategy they used for the mac n cheetos.
