"Fangirling" gets a bad rap. It's way too gendered and limiting for my taste. Everyone gets excited about their favorite things, but "fangirling" ties our excitement to the false narrative of women as overly emotional and silly.

What if we could choose another verb? What would broader experiences could it exude? How would that shift our perception of fandom? What new word do you think we should use?
