You don’t have to have blind devotion to something to be a fan of it. I don’t like new Pokémon but still am a fan of the first 3 generations. I’m a fan of the office but I don’t watch after season 7.
Curiously “cake” apparently comes from old Norse “kaka”, which in many languages is the word for poo-poo, but is more probably related to roundness in this instance.

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