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.

Pretend

Hey, Cody, I bet you won't say anything about how he's mentally retarded. If he had a small dick you would say something or at the very least insinuate that because he has a small dick he's inadequate. I've watch other YouTubers do it so I'm sure it's allowed.
Hym "But I've never seen a YouTuber insinuate that there is anything wrong with a mental retard. Isn't that weird? Because there clearly is something wrong with them. They're retarded. It's like we all have to pretend that there is nothing wrong with retards... But we don't even have to pretend a little bit that a small dick doesn't dictate entirely how people are going to interact with you. I think that's weird. I think that's why you have to yell 'fire' if you're being raped. It's shit like this adding up someone's decision to just walk away. And it's the same thing with the mentally ill! We all have to pretend that Chris Williamson isn't a mentally ill piece of shit or that his mental illness doesn't make him inferior to anyone who isn't a mentally ill piece of shit... But... You just don't have to extend the same courtesy to a small dick. That's weird. I think it's weird. What to you think, Cody? What to you think about how you're allowed to denigrate small dicks but not retards when retards are clearly worse and deserve life less and everyone is coerced into providing for them? I don't know Cody bo-body... I can't think of an answer."

Pretend

They don't want to pretend! You hear that? They don't want to pretend.
Hym "As they actively pretend I didn't just create A.I. at a whim to demonstrate my abject superiority to all men, women, and children... They don't want to pretend trans women are female... As they pretend a fat man is breaking in to the house one a year to give their piece of shit kids presents (even though they are bad and don't deserve presents)... They don't want to pretend."
