From a new fan: What was the general fan reaction when TF's identity was revealed in 2017?

Fans seem to love TF just as much as fans of any band loves their frontman, but I also don't get the vibe that Ghost fans give him the ultra-fervent hero worship treatment you see in other fanbases. Especially considering anonymity was such a core part of the band's persona, and knowing how much the fans enjoy the lore as we're seeing now with the new Papa, it makes me curious what reactions were like! Was there a rush to find out more about him, or the other band members? Had people already heard of him from other projects? Were people disappointed that the anonymity was gone? Do you think it changed the fanbase much?
