Tourist

Someone (usually) new to a fandom who tries to change the medium to meet their personal criteria, or shames existing members for liking established parts of that medium; especially before they've taken the time to properly understand the existing culture and assimilate into it.

A: "Dude, I LOVE superhero movies and have seen several, but they're way too violent. It sets a bad example for kids, and if you support that you're disgusting. I'm tweeting at all the publishers right now so they know that REAL fans won't stand for it anymore."
B: "Fucking tourist."

language tourist

A person (usually white) who learns languages for fun rather than by necessity and berates immigrants who learn languages because they need to. Despite the fact that language tourists have a very shallow grasp on the languages they visit, they tend to dismiss the immigrants who actually need to learn complex grammar and vocabulary in a colonial environment instead of learning two sentences for entertainment.

this girl told my immigrant friend that he should improve his french, she thinks it's easy because she's a butcherer of 5 languages, what a fucking language tourist .

War Tourist

War Tourist: A war tourist is typically a middle-aged, middle- or upper-class male from the West a individual who, in a modern-day midlife crisis, seeks excitement beyond ordinary holiday experiences. They venture into conflict zones and war-torn countries for the thrill and unique experiences, often relishing the danger. Sometimes, they even attempt to join local military efforts. This new form of tourism can lead to significant consequences, including legal repercussions, accusations of terrorism, and the risk of being kidnapped, tortured, or even dying. They may return home with souvenirs such as bullets, shrapnel, or even human remains. War tourists prefer these intense experiences over typical holidays and often proudly share their stories and souvenirs.

Lee: Frank, I was watching the news the other day, and there was this bloke who goes to war-torn countries on holiday, just to watch wars. LOL

Frank: Yeah, Bruv, I think that’s the new trend, nowadays? War tourism! These posh blokes get bored with their fancy five-star hotels and decide, why not head into a warzone instead LOL for a bit of a kick

Lee: I reckon Bruv, and then they come back showing off their souvenirs—bullets, shrapnel, pieces of human bones.

Frank: These sick fuckers these war tourists, Bruv

Lee: init bruv LOL

Tourist trapping

But in reality it means when stores purposely make stealing easy, in order to catch the tourist and convict them of federal crimes. Usually they allow the torisit to think they get away with it for 2 -3 weeks, but then the perpetrators will receive mail informing them of their court date. Only people who know the hidden meaning are usually Florida residents .

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.
