Fanongame

A fangame that has been so thoroughly shaped by the collective fan interpretations, inside jokes, and widely-accepted headcanons (the "fanon") of its source material that it becomes the definitive version of that universe for its players. It's a game where the developers clearly read the same fan forums as the players, incorporating popular theories and meme-worthy character traits into the actual gameplay. It blurs the line between creator and consumer so thoroughly that no one can remember if a particular character quirk was from the original show or from that one viral fancomic.
Example: "In the official anime, the villain was just generically evil, but in this fanongame, they've leaned into the fanon interpretation that he's actually just a tired single dad trying to pay for his kid's magic school tuition. Now he's the most popular character."

Fanongaming

The broader cultural phenomenon where the line between canon (official content) and fanon (fan-created lore) becomes so blurred in gaming spaces that the two become indistinguishable. It's the process by which a player's headcanon, shared and agreed upon by thousands of others online, eventually seeps into the collective consciousness to the point where it feels more real than the actual game's story. When a new player joins a fandom and is surprised to learn that a beloved character trait or relationship was never actually in the game, but was invented by fans, they are experiencing the effects of fanongaming.
Example: "The new player was shocked to discover that the deep, tragic backstory for the mute protagonist wasn't actually in the game files. It was a decade-old fan theory that had become so widespread through fanongaming that the developers had eventually made it official in the sequel."

fandomite

A fandomite is someone fully engrossed in Fandom culture, to the point of considering their fandom activities "activism"; very often disregarding actual problems even in their own fandom communities, and prioritizing their comfort and fun before anything else.

Classic examples of fandomite behaviour is rampant homonationalism; silencing others based on 'fandom etiquette' or similar reasons when their community is criticised for one reason or another; finding their entertainment activities inherently morally correct, solely on the basis of it being fandom content; protecting any kind of content on the name of 'freedom of speech', no matter if it is hateful or not; among others.
"They are such a fandomite. I said I didn't like AO3 and they said I wasn't grateful for the gift it is upon mankind, and surely I do not remember how trying the times before it existed were for them, fandom elders. When I told them I didn't like it because of it allowing racist and other hateful content in it, they said I am against freedom of speech."
