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.

IME that meaning of "stan" is way younger than I am. I remember it just being a name. And I remember "fan" being used in the way "stan" is now, so I sometimes still use it like that.
