The one person I knew who did this was a bit of an odd duck socially, but aside from their characters all being pretty bland and samey, they really were harmless. They kept their head down, played their characters in the game, and stayed in their own lane.

They did like to collect actual props from the movies the actor was in, which someone tried to namedrop them here about like it was some big deal, but people shut that down pretty quick. Frankly I don't care how someone spends their money if it's not hurting anyone. It's a bit obsessive but then so is blowing $500 on pins or Funko pops or gacha games. I guess it was the fact somehow those are more socially acceptable for a bunch of nerds smashing barbies to approve of than to spend $500 on an actor's coat or whatever that made people think it was alright to try and make fun of them.

i think people get weirded out because it wasn't just the movie props but also the $500+ huge tattoos of the actor's roles. at least the tats look good, but yeah. i REALLY hope the tats are only of gyllenhaal's roles, because previously they were obsessed in the same way (with matching plurk username before they changed it to be gyllenhaal themed, rp journal, merch, rl vacation to relevant countries, etc.) with the wizard nazi grindelwald.

that one still baffles me, fangirling a wizard nazi. it's not like the nazi reveal was pulled out of jkr's ass years after the fact like dumbledore being gay, or treated as subtext, it was actual canon since the books.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the tattoos, which definitely was a bit more disturbing. The only ones I remembered her getting were Detective Loki ones, which yeah was weird, but people get tattoos their fav characters have all the time. I'm actually glad I didn't know her during the 'wizard nazi fangirl' phase, that would have been a giant NOPE from me. At least obsessing over an actor with a pretty face is a lot healthier relatively speaking.

It's really none of my business but is she loaded and just spending her money the she wants or is one of those people who has driven themselves into poverty thanks to their obsession? None of the stuff she ever bought or those tats were cheap.
