I love that this sort of sentiment is becoming more and more the rule in fandom communities. That kind of acceptance has always been critical/a key part of library work!
This is pretty much my life motto. The older I get the less I can bear snobbery.
Truth. And a fox.

English Has a New Preposition, Because Internet
Let’s start with the dull stuff, because pragmatism.
The word “because,” in standard English usage, is a subordinating conjunction, which means that it connects two parts of a sentence in which one (the subordinate) explains the other. In that capacity, “because” has two distinct forms. It can be followed either by a finite clause (I’m reading this because [I saw it on the web]) or by a prepositional phrase (I’m reading this because [of the web]). These two forms are, traditionally, the only ones to which “because” lends itself.
I mention all that … because language. Because evolution. Because there is another way to use “because.” Linguists are calling it the “prepositional-because.” Or the “because-noun.”
You probably know it better, however, as explanation by way of Internet—explanation that maximizes efficiency and irony in equal measure. I’m late because YouTube. You’re reading this because procrastination. As the linguist Stan Carey delightfully sums it up: “‘Because’ has become a preposition, because grammar.”

I am wholly and unabashedly excited by this. I heart prepositions.
I have a Master’s degree in English, AND I APPROVE.
