The ''stereotypical'' fangirl is a girl who loves a story/series for one or more of the male characters. They have existed for longer than you may think: the Creator/DavidDuchovny EstrogenBrigade was a ''terrifying'' force on ''Series/TheXFiles''' group on UsefulNotes/{{Usenet}}. The term has since widened beyond that stereotype to include girls who are merely fans of something or other.
