Yuritard
People in fandoms who, regardless of gender or sexuality, are obsessed with Yuri (lesbian) pairings to the point that they make it their entire personality. They exhibit toxic and hypocritical behaviors, discussing stories only when they fit their narrative and ignoring them when they don’t. They overanalyze details while disregarding obvious ones to support their perspective.
They insist every female character they like is a lesbian and accuse those who disagree of homophobia or lesbophobia, despite often being biphobic themselves. They downplay canonically bisexual or straight characters and demonize male/female ships while excusing problematic dynamics in their preferred pairings. Many harass creators, attack artists, and send death threats to dissenters.
They often fetishize lesbian relationships while denying it, treating Yuri ships as fantasy objects rather than genuine relationships. They also conflate personal shipping preferences with real-world LGBTQ+ issues, making meaningful discussions on representation difficult.
Some even accuse creators of being homophobic or sexist for not making their ships canon, as seen when My Hero Academia fans attacked the author for pairing Ochako with Deku. Many also excuse villainous actions—such as Himiko Toga’s crimes—simply because she likes women.
Not all "yuritards" are women or lesbians, though there is some overlap.

Example 1:
Yuritard: "See the 3 gems below Robin's eyes? Those are in the colors of lesbian flag. That means she's a lesbian!"
Normal fan: "But are those also the colors of Xipe, the Aeon of Harmony who Robin literally represents in the story"
Yuritard: "Fuck you lesbophobe! Kys!"
Example 2:
Yuritard: "Mikasa, Annie and Historia are such lesbian queens"
Normal fan: "But doesn't Mikasa likes Eren and also married a guy after he died? Doesn't Annie like Armin? And didn't Historia married a farmer dude and got pregnant?"
Yuritard: "You're a lesbophobei! Kys!"

Hood Weeb
A subset of anime and otaku culture that is a mix of anime and street/urban culture
At least that's what you'd think right?
Actually no. The hood in hood weeb actually stands for gang mentality, as hood weebs are primarily identified by engaging in excessive and obsessive behavior over anime, such as doxxing people, spreading CSEM and such.
One thing hood weebs have in common is that most of them are action shounen fans, as in they only watch action shounen anime, such as Dragon Ball Z, One Piece, Boruto, Jujutsu Kaisen, Chainsaw Man, etc.
The term has nothing to do with race/ethnicity, as anyone can engage in hood weeb behavior regardless of ethnicity.

Person: "I'm at my wits end.... like they're actively trying to dox everything. Hacking into one of my accounts and they are posting cp on it. They are trying to get my phone number, and they are trying to involve my other family members. Please anyone I beg you... help me"
Hood weeb: "Racist weebs when they have to fight hood weebs and not sensitive sheltered college grads." *Yamcha's death pose pic*

Fandom Colonizer
Outsiders who join a fandom solely to change it to fit their standards without actually enjoying it. They ignore pre-established rules and expect others to follow their new ones without question. They attack fans and creators for anything they deem "abnormal" and engage in brigaded attacks against those who don’t conform. They have no problem threatening violence or sending death threats, believing their actions are justified.
Despite pretending to be inclusive, they reject any culture outside their own. When called out, they always play the victim and claim it's proof the fandom needs "fixing." They manipulate online engagement by botting Facebook likes, Twitter shares, and Reddit upvotes to create a false sense of support.
Most emerged during and after the 2020 pandemic when lockdowns gave people too much free time. While some pre-2020 cases existed, they were mostly confined to Tumblr. They can be identified by posts mocking fandom norms that receive thousands of likes, yet most replies disagree, exposing the botting.
When confronted, they typically:
- Play the victim
- Use ad hominem attacks against fans
- Trivialize the situation (often exposing their hypocrisy)
- Threaten violence against those who disagree
