(noun)
/ɑ r stæn/
Definition:
A Respectful Stan — a fan who supports an artist, creator, or public figure with genuine admiration while respecting their boundaries, privacy, and humanity.
Unlike obsessive or intrusive fandom behavior, an R-Stan believes that true support includes empathy, consent, and kindness. Being an R-Stan means celebrating someone’s work, not controlling their life.
Origin:
Coined by a fan who wanted to redefine what it means to support someone, after noticing how often the term fan is used for people who act disrespectfully toward artists.
The “R” stands for Respectful.

Double R is when one uses ‘rapist rizz’. This is normally performed by the elite rizzlers!
For example, “Sup babes how many fingers am i holding up!”
Babes: “2”
Wrong (even though babes is right) show me your nips girl
Please only use if you’re experienced, 100% success rate :)

It's exactly what it says on the tin: a subreddit for memes about anime. There are good memes, and then there are bad memes. And that's pretty much it.
User 1: What's the most popular subreddit for anime memes? I know it's not r/animememes
User 2: r/Animemes
User 1: Ah thanks
User 2: r/Animemes
User 1: Ah thanks
