Explanations? From who exactly? Keep asking. You will get none of any significance. If it makes you feel better keep protesting.
Proper fans? No. Just more loyal fans. Therefore, imo a better fan. Let me guess you think voicing your displeasure makes the team better.
I think some fans are pathetic little babies who want everything to be great involving their team and when it isnt they throw tantrums. That's my definition of fair weather fans. When things go well they have very little complaints.
You never talk with your friends about what the Cowboy did wrong in a game or could do better? That's all this message board is, essentially. An open forum for those discussions. If all you do is focus on everything positive, which I don't believe for a single second, then that's wonderful and I am happy for you. Live in your blissful ignorance.
It takes someone who is seriously close minded, arrogant and self centered to believe his type of fandom makes him a more loyal and
better fan.
So, does it make a person less of a Star Wars fan if they didn't like the prequels? You know, because complaining or voicing a negative opinion about something you disliked makes you less loyal and fair weather. Or does that only apply where you deem appropriate?
