ManonR Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 So i have been thinking(dangerous) i know that fans are sometimes referred to as MFCers, but I don't think that is very practical.1 because its hard to say in normal speed. 2 it always makes me think of a biker club, sort of like hells angels etc. Here it comes : mikanism(s), that means we are mikanists!!!! I thought we were called MikaFreaks?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alireine Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 we all are Mikafans but Mikafans who joined MFC are MFC ´iers too. Nothing wrong with it. (I myself say MFCers without i, but it's not a problem I think ) I think you all summed up it well , we are Mika fans and MFCers French variation is Mikettes and Spanish one Mikeras but none of them works for male Mika fans so that's a bit of a problem And I love you all Mika fans and MFCers I hear also Mikamis for French but I think it's more something like "my friends who are also Mikafans" Everyone can name itself Mikafan. There are millions of Mikafans all over the world, filling his facebook timeline or replying to his twitter account. Some are more persistent than others, some only like him, some go to gigs etc.But MFCers are a community, nothing similar can be found in the net as far as Mika is concerned, we are part of a strongly bonded community, accepting certain rules and behaviour. We are nothing better, we are 'us'. One thing I don't understand is why people are still using Mikafreaks proudly on his timeline when it's quite clear he doesn't like it. I agree that MFCers are people registered here and as Robertina said, trying to have a respectful behaviour. Mikafans are everybody who loves Mika And of course the respectful behaviour is not only found on MFC , just to be clear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mousetrap Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 One thing I don't understand is why people are still using Mikafreaks proudly on his timeline when it's quite clear he doesn't like it. I remember he said it recently in one Italian interview, but we don't have a translation of it, so I suppose those fans have no idea Mika dislikes this name I wonder if there is another interview where he says it quite clear? Personally I'm MFCer and Mika fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tweeted something about the Italian interview and a girl told me in no uncertain terms she doesn't care and she will always be proud to call herself a Mika Freak.

Christine Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 People are very strange sometimes I think there's a belief that a couple of people have given them a bad name (in Mika's eyes) with their behaviour but it's not them or what they represent so there is no reason to not be proud of it. I don't think he ever would have wanted his entire fandom to be called Freaks because it has too many negative connotations. But that's just my opinion. I don't think he has said specifically.

mamiam Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Sorry,but no... We shall be mfcers till the day we die... Even coz its not so hard to say it currently.... And mikanists remind me of mechanics.... So its a no from me... I agree, then it gets too close "Mike & the Mechanics" ... I'm a 7 year old Mikafan- and a 2 year old MFCer, and happy with that ...

BiaIchihara Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 @JosefineDK answering your question in the fewest words, it's basically unanimous that we are Mikafans + MFCers, it's easier to speak and remember and we'll keep these terms forever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guylainem123 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 First of all, welcome to MFC. I'm glad you joined us. I'm not quite sure why your first post into this community should be about what we call ourselves and wanting to change our name. It doesn't quite make sense to me. Unless you are not new to MFC? I'm an MFCer because i belong to the Mika Fan Club. It's that's simple. And I don't want to change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are nothing better, we are 'us'. I'm here only since November, but I feel I belong so much. I totally agree with you. When I read the word mfc or mfcer, I feel affection and bondings, I would miss that. I'm committing in here, and I'm looking forward to the next years. Besides, you can't pick a name and make it work. It just happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kath Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 This is a typical MFC thread isn't it Good to see the rebellion in full force MFCers we have been for 7 years- why on earth would we change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAK1 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Despite Mikas dislike for the tag of Freaks, it's already taken, by Flaming Lips fans. They have been called The Freaks for a lot longer than Mika has been around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soaring Simpson Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 (edited) Agree! Those who are on MFC are MFcer, those who aren't are Mika fans (though I am calling myself both ) Quite I don't get this thread at all. In almost every other area there's a general name and a specific club name- I'm a Mika fan and an MFC member, I'm a birdwatcher and I'm an RSPB member, I'm a (learner) dinghy sailor and a member of Scaling Dam Sailing Club. And club members can call themselves whatever they jolly well like. Edited January 11, 2014 by Soaring Simpson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
