secondhand fandom syndrome

When your friend (or friend group) is very passionate about a series that you have not read or watched yet, and talk so excitedly about it you recognize and become excited by things related to that series
I’ve never watched that anime but thanks to my pal Mark I know everything about the main character, I think I have secondhand fandom syndrome

Fandom Cannibal

Coinciding with Fandom Cannibalism

A Fandom Cannibal: is a person, usually an anti, who has run out of *appropriate victims to harass and target and moves on to other antis to harass. These individuals are usually attention seekers and will cause drama for the clout. Fandom Cannibalism almost always starts from a Fandom Cannibal.

(*The victims are usually people who don't fall under the Fandom Cannibals ludicrous moral compass)
"Weren't those two friends last week? Why are they attacking each other now?"

"Oh, they're both Fandom Cannibals. They'll go after anyone over a perceived wrong."

Fandom Stalking

It’s where you engage with fan produced content from a specific fandom without ever engaging in the source material directly. A fandom stalker selectively immerses themselves in aspects of a fandom, often becoming familiar with character dynamics, plot arcs, and themes through the lens of other fans.
“I’ve never watched The Last of Us, but I know everything about Ellie and Joel from reading fanfic and watching edits. I guess I’m fandom stalking.”

Homestuck Fandom

A fan base solely revolving around the 2009 webcomic, Homestuck. Filled with nerds, cosplayers, krappy memers, trolls, cringey ocs, vriska simps (although there are little to none vriska simps) vriska haters, undertale fans that only found it from megalovania, normal people who just wanna enjoy the comic, and of course, the nepeta fan club. And the only fandom you can say pumpkin party in sea hitlers water apocalypse in and not be given the look (srsly that song is such a bop tho) These are given the name “the homestucks”
