Outsiders who join a fandom/hobby with the sole purpose of policing the behavior of fans in said fandom/hobby and not because they enjoy the hobby themselves. They can commonly be seen trying to shame people for engaging in things that are normal for the fandom and aren't even offensive and harmful, in order to make them "normal" according to their standards. They often engage in brigading to bully people to be more "normal" according to their standards. They like to ragebait fans on purpose and play the victim when the fans get angry or call the fancops out for their behavior. They also like to attack the pre-existing fans by belittling them for their hobby. They also always appeal to triviality.

Get the Fandom Police mug.Outsiders who join a fandom solely to change it to fit their standards without actually enjoying it. They ignore pre-established rules and expect others to follow their new ones without question. They attack fans and creators for anything they deem "abnormal" and engage in brigaded attacks against those who don’t conform. They have no problem threatening violence or sending death threats, believing their actions are justified.
Despite pretending to be inclusive, they reject any culture outside their own. When called out, they always play the victim and claim it's proof the fandom needs "fixing." They manipulate online engagement by botting Facebook likes, Twitter shares, and Reddit upvotes to create a false sense of support.
Most emerged during and after the 2020 pandemic when lockdowns gave people too much free time. While some pre-2020 cases existed, they were mostly confined to Tumblr. They can be identified by posts mocking fandom norms that receive thousands of likes, yet most replies disagree, exposing the botting.
When confronted, they typically:
- Play the victim
- Use ad hominem attacks against fans
- Trivialize the situation (often exposing their hypocrisy)
- Threaten violence against those who disagree

Get the Fandomoron mug.A fandomite is someone fully engrossed in Fandom culture, to the point of considering their fandom activities "activism"; very often disregarding actual problems even in their own fandom communities, and prioritizing their comfort and fun before anything else.
Classic examples of fandomite behaviour is rampant homonationalism; silencing others based on 'fandom etiquette' or similar reasons when their community is criticised for one reason or another; finding their entertainment activities inherently morally correct, solely on the basis of it being fandom content; protecting any kind of content on the name of 'freedom of speech', no matter if it is hateful or not; among others.

"They are such a fandomite. I said I didn't like AO3 and they said I wasn't grateful for the gift it is upon mankind, and surely I do not remember how trying the times before it existed were for them, fandom elders. When I told them I didn't like it because of it allowing racist and other hateful content in it, they said I am against freedom of speech."
