Outsiders who join a fandom/hobby with the sole purpose of policing the behavior of fans in said fandom/hobby and not because they enjoy the hobby themselves. They can commonly be seen trying to shame people for engaging in things that are normal for the fandom and aren't even offensive and harmful, in order to make them "normal" according to their standards. They often engage in brigading to bully people to be more "normal" according to their standards. They like to ragebait fans on purpose and play the victim when the fans get angry or call the fancops out for their behavior. They also like to attack the pre-existing fans by belittling them for their hobby. They also always appeal to triviality.

Outsiders who join a hobby 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 hobby 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 hobby 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

Failed Western Vtubers who cannot find an audience themselves due to being uninteresting and often resorts to attacking and cancelling other more successful Vtubers out of spite and jealousy, in an attempt to virtue signal hoping it'll bring more attention to themselves. They also like often mock or attack common harmless practices in the Vtuber community to make it more "normal".
ENVytuber:"The amount of accepted loli/shotacon in Vtuber spaces is a bit repulsive
I wish to not associate with those kinds of people, nor have them in my community regardless of their size or popularity. I already get lumped into enough weird things by using the "Vtuber" label.
Please respect my community and leave, thanks. 👍"
Vtuber fan: ""my community" LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO "
ENVytuber: "Wait till he finds out I don't watch or enjoy Vtubers bro, what a gotcha 😭"
