Or the scary group of middle aged Benedict Cumberbatch fans who insist his wife is an "evil narcissist prostitute" who forced him to marry her by faking a pregnancy. Now she is apparently forcing him to appear in public with a doll pretending it's their real kid. She also "gatecrashes" all the public events she attends with him and forces him to be photographed with her.

The recent announcement that she's pregnant again threw them for a while but now they've regrouped to claim this pregnancy is fake too and all part of her evil manipulation of "poor Benedict."

So now the guy will apparently have two dolls for babies. Oh and they've even got the fact that the first child is now a toddler covered. When they need a "walking child" they just borrow one from a friend and pretend it's theirs for the photographers. Because you see all the Paparazzi pics of them with the kid are set up by the evil wife.

What really stuns and fascinates me me is these "fans" are middle aged women not kids in their early teens like the Larries and Twilight groups. How do people get like that?.

I never knew such people existed before I found out about this lot because I'm a Sherlock fan and had a look on some online discussions about it which went off topic to discuss this mad faction.

I am a Sherlock fan as well, and while I like Cumberbatch, I would never take it to the extreme like these people. TBH I couldn't give a shiny S who he married or what he does. I read a certain tumblr site and a lot of the stuff on there about him and his wife is frankly quite bizarre!

The other Larrie stuff that is mentioned on here, I have no idea about but, I can well believe it. The length that some fans go to, to get near the object of their affections is scarily unbelievable!!

Hayley Atwell is a good example of this. People kept on and on at her about "bisexual Steve Rogers" and also did this really weird thing where they called her "mom" when talking to her. The mom thing, she requested they stopped and they wouldn't. She quit social media over it in the end.
About the mum thing, there is a guy from Ghost Adventures the show, who has a presence on Instagram and there are fans on there who call him "dad" and say "Oh please sleep with me daddy". Talk about a whole new level of weirdness!

Here's a picture a teacher Larrie took of her and a dozen other Larries on a night out in London this weekend. She proudly posted it to her public blog. As you can see, they're in their 20s and 30s, with some even older.

If you look at the woman's blog, it explicitly says that it's a photo from a big Larry get-together. Her entire blog is Larry.

That's just sick.

I was reading more about the "mum" thing and apparently the singer Lorde is into it and thinks it's okay. To think of how many impressionable young fans she has influence over.

Going back to the Cumbercrazies, the story of the Facebook guy whose pics they stole and are claiming are pics of Sophie and her secret lover is insane. It's like the most elaborate epic ever.

Supernatural fan and Sherlock, never been on any of their forums.

An interesting one which is not even fan forums but online newspapers comments. Ryan Gosling(I admit never having seen any of his films) and Eva Mendes. The endless comments that they are sure Eva was a man despite giving birth to two children. She is so old and they will be breaking up any day. I looked it up and she is like 6 or 7 years older, the comments make it sound like she is an ageing pensioner 30+ years older is a joke. They actually got married and kept it and the children's births private sent the comments into a frenzy. Made is sound like a hanging offensive and it was all her fault.

I can not figure out the hatred for this woman for marrying and having children with someone

Yes! The vitriol on newspaper articles against Eva Mendez is really horrible! I've never seen the Notebook, but it seems To have started the who!e nutty fan thing! Was it that good a film???

I have seen the mum/dad thing now come to think of it. I follow some Game of Thrones , Doctor Who and related actors on Instagram and there are people doing it to Lily James and Richard Madden. I thought at the time it was weird as they are only in their late 20's. I didn't realise it was a thing! They had a few shippers after Cinderella but they were soon buried under an avalanche of abuse from Whovians, due to who their real partners were. You don't mess with the professionals!

On the 'mum' note, if you browse through any given fandom on Tumblr, there is a deeply disturbing trend for people referring to actors as 'son, my son, my precious son' etc. too. It makes my skin crawl.

Yes, I've seen that a lot. The Larries call Louis their 'smol son' all the time. They like the idea of him being tiny and vulnerable, in need of protection from evil closeting music moguls and their dastardly fake baby PR strategies.

Just read news item today about Keira Knightly stalker who bombarded her with cat themed messages and "meeowed through her letterbox." The guy is 49 years old.

On first look it sounds laughable but it really must be very frightening for unstable people to know where you live You just never know that they won't turn violent.

This element of fandom must be one of the worst drawbacks of fame.

Oh god yes, I had somehow forgotten Smol.

Precious cinnamon roll is another one, makes a little bit of sick come up.

There's definitely something about the daddy / son thing that is just warped though.

That's brilliant! You can tell it's not real fanfiction because it's well written and funny 😁

It's probably been done but I think a proper psycholigical study into obsessive fandom would make fascinating reading. What is it that makes people lose all grip on reality with their interest in a famous person? Apparently some of the delusional Cumberbatch fans seemed perfectly normal until he got engaged and then they suddenly flipped over into being quite deranged and have got steadily worse as he married and then the first child arrived. They must be about ready for straight jackets with the news there's a second baby on the way.
I think it would make fascinating reading as well,

But I am also interested in history and historical fiction, stories about Anne Boleyn, Henry Viii and Thomas Cromwell , even Chaucer and his Canterbury tales, and you can see the same kind of way that people lose all grip on facts, and create their own fictional fantasy based on their own ideas, that existed way before social media!

Some of these historical ideas are completely contradictory, and its almost impossible to get any clear grasp of reality, from such different accounts and versions of events!

trouble is I think social media has made it worse...much worse!

Perhaps. But while it may be difficult to travel back in history and learn exactly what went on with Anne Boleyn and Henry VIII, it is not difficult to ascertain that Benedict Cumberbatch's child is not, in fact, a doll. It is perfectly simple to get a grasp on that particular reality. I only know about the Cumberbatch crazies but I'd assume there are some fairly simple to establish bits of reality which other fandom loonies are unable to grasp too. It is just bizarre behaviour for which there really are no rationales other than insanity or extreme malevolence.

What is funny in a sense is that both fake baby fandoms (Larries and Cumberbatch crazies) recognize that the other fandom is crazy. Their "own" baby is obviously a fake but how can the other fandom be so stupid not to see that the other baby is real .

The twihards are hilarious too. They're convinced KStew and RPattz are secretly married and have 2 kids, already. They've photoshopped other people's real babies in pictures with them. Every new girldfried is just a cover up, Everyone who writes an interview contrary to this robsten family situation is either working with robsten to cover up their secret family, or straight up lying. They absolutely hate Rob's gf, they've decided that Rob is her manager, and absolutely hates her. They harass on social media anyone writing something nice or compliments twigs. This has been going on for years, too, and they have a terrible meltdown every time Rob is seen with his gf.

He sounds very ill and should be somewhere safe, for his sake and others.

"Care in the community" has a hell of a lot to answer for but services to mental health are being cut every day so it's only going to get worse.

The guy on the left with the beard and glasses is a 'Big Larrie' who runs a very popular blog under his real name, Aaron Butterfield. He's a journalist of sorts who wrote about Louis fakimg a baby for Buzzfeed. Louis' team actually interfered for once and the article was taken off the site as Aaron wrote from the perspective of actually believing the kid was a doll, rather than the usual 'crazy fans believe this' angle. Buzzfeed closed his account with them but this didn't deter Aaron. Most of the Larries blog uunder pseuds, but he seems bizarrely proud of his Big Larrie sfatus.

This bizarre blog is by one of the Robsten ringleaders, called HKN, short for haters know nothing. She and her followers (she's also on Twitter fighting the 'dipshidiots' who believe Rob is with FKA) have announced that Kristen gave birth to the couple's third child, a boy, just a few weeks ago, despite weekly pictures of Kristen wandering around in crop tops which expose her very flat belly!
