Poorfag or Poorfag-chan is a character inspired by the anime Puella Magi Madoka Magica.
On January 28th, in a discussion topic on 4chan’s website about the fourth episode of the series, one anonymous user noticed that during a clip showing Madoka’s class, everyone in the classroom had laptop computers except for one girl.
The first reply to this post was, “Fucking poorfag writing on paper.” Which led to a huge discussion of the character and thus Poorfag-chan was born. The same day, her macro was created. Despite her being a character seen only in the background of a few episodes and frequently being left out of artbooks, Poorfag-chan gained her own popularity as a character.
There’s a lot of various theories, stories, comics, and fanworks crafted around Poorfag-chan. She is generally depicted as an innocent character who makes the best of her circumstances. A lot of Poorfag-chan threads also depict her as an orphan with her often telling stories to her mother in heaven. Another popular claim is that she lives in a cardboard box and were she to become a Puella Magi and later on a witch, her outfit would consist mostly of garbage.
Though this was originally a trend that started on 4chan, it also gained the attention of Japanese fans who call her call her 貧乏ちゃん (binbō-chan, translated as poor-chan).

Get the Pooradise mug.
The fear that poor people have that everyone is out to get what little money they have. Victims of pooranoia believe that anything that costs them any money only exists to cost them money. Pooranoia is the reason that people get upset that the included breakfast at your hotel only applies to weekdays.
**Rob is a victim of pooranoia**
Rob: Dude I knew it. This is bullshit.
Mike: What's wrong?
Rob: The sale at the store ended JUST as I walked in!
Mike: Well.. yeah. It says on the door "sale ends at 5:00 pm."
Rob: No that's bullshit they just want ME to pay more.
Mike: Stop being so pooranoid.
