Loyalism is the belief or practice that one should remain exclusively or primarily affiliated, associated, and/or supportive of a particular project or projects at the expense of other projects. Loyalists believe that personal preference towards a project, as a writer or as a reader, necessitates uncompromising support (whether deserved or undeserved) for it in the context of competition, ranking, or critical assessment. Loyalism is sometimes used pejoratively against users who are unable or unwilling to see or admit any deficiencies, shortcomings, or issues with a project. Loyalists tend to engage in apologetics to defend a project and biasedly disparage or diminish the value of competing or comparable projects. It is related to isolationism which is the tendency to restrict oneself exclusively to a single project or projects one is interested, in terms of reading and/or writing in, at the expense of other projects.
The opposite of loyalism is cosmopolitanism which is the belief that one is able to participate in multiple projects and not restrict oneself to preferred projects.
