Answer:
fandom culture is both good and bad
Explanation:
fandom culture had many pros and con that come along with it but so does most things in life.
Some pros to fandom culture are : They are like a tight group community of people who can make friends by the starter of that they both have a relatable topic - you . Another pro is that if you know anything will happen to you, you will have a group of people who look up to you to fall back on. With having a large fandom it can boost who sees you and you may be pushed further into the media. The final pro to fandom culture is that they feel safe and like you are their for them and they can also relate to you on a certain level.
Some cons to fandom culture are: You may be pushed so far into the spotlight that your life while just be followed to every minor detail. You also have the problem of the toxic fans theses are people who claim to be fans but are actually just there to cause chaos among the people who support you.
Also the problem of stalkers- people who will follow you until you reach the point of unsafety these people will do anything to practically make you life a living hell.Final con to all of this is the new and uprising cancel culture this is when people dig up past mistakes that you have made and use it against you now , if you do not have a apology up quicker than the speed of sound they will ruin you life.
I see no problem with fandom culture unless it gets to a point of toxicity were u are in harms way or mentally hurt (a member of the dsmp fandom)

Question 2:
Passage 1 is funny because it compares the umbrella to an ornamental bat, which sounds weird in the first place. Plus, the umbrellas is said to be used by people who want to seem British, which is even more outrageously funny.
Passage 2 is funny because it treats the umbrella as a scary object which can be used even to fend off people you owe money to, which is absurd.
In both passages, the author uses tone and voice in a very witty way: he speaks seriously about absurdity, about unimaginable stuff. It is like an encyclopedia of weird and fun facts. That is what makes it funny: the contrast between a serious tone and larger than life images.
