Pretender syndrome

When someone has no idea of how a subculture works and has no willingness to lurk but still pretends to know everything about said subculture. Commonly seen on various forums, large and small.

People with Pretender Syndrome have no will to assimilate to the forum culture and will instead attempt to force their own ideals onto the community. They will take basic surface level knowledge (ie memes) and spout them with very little knowledge of the memes themselves. Often completely misuse the memes as a result.
Attempts to name the jew will result in autistic screeching.

Hey, that tranny's got Pretender Syndrome. He's completely shitting up our forum with his ideas of diversity and equality. Let's ban him before he ruins it
