tourist

a derogatory term made up by the anime fandom for any person whom , attempts to invade a hobby or fandom then tries to erase or replace or sabotage its culture and norms as well as the fandom's content to fit their arbitrary moral or personal standards and preferences or politics.
this person does not consume media in a medium or genre or does not actively participate in a hobby nor is an active member of its community they probably experienced it second hand too.

hence why they get labled a tourist as they behave exactly like the type of karen whom would visit an Indian city then complain that everyone speaks Hindi and the food is spicy. then try to force them to behave like suburban Americans and eat McDonalds and speak perfect English
@jargannews on twitter is complaining about excessive fan service in anime because he watched one iseki show where its very prominent and understood to be part of the genre. what a dumb tourist influencer

A : YOU FURRIES ARE DISGUSTING ! STOP DRAWING ATTRACTIVE ANIMALS YOU PERVERTS !
B : shut up tourist , if you dont like it then dont visit this forum

Anime tourist

A person that only watches the most popular anime or any anime that becomes trendy via memes on other social media platforms. They do not engage or explore any other anime or other Japanese media outside of the major, well-known anime and often bandwagon on the show's fandom. They're only in the fandom and watch the show for the hype and nothing else.
Person 1: My friend swore that he is now a weeb despite him only watching Jujutsu Kaisen... I asked if he could name other anime that aired this season, but he gave me no response. He's just an anime tourist.

Tourist trap

A: a place considered to be very popular among tourists, including the local economy being largely dependent on them.

B: a place whose amenities are extremely underwhelming, or even non-existent. In essence, not enough things to do for the average tourist.

C: a place where it's easy to get scammed, or otherwise feels like an unreasonable requirement to spend money to enjoy local activities.

D: a place that's kitsch, childish, and appears outdated.
How come nobody can agree to what a tourist trap actually is?
