You don’t have to have blind devotion to something to be a fan of it.

Fan was originally short for fanatic, so it does actually imply blind devotion. Etymologically at least.

Thank god language evolves so that now a fan is someone interested in a thing

It evolved through the years. The actual fanatics who don't accept any criticism for their favorite show/movie/actor/singer/whatever tend to be labeled as stans. At least IME.
