fake news 

A term formerly useful for describing websites consisting entirely of intentionally fabricated news stories, but now used to describe virtually anything that does not mesh with one's own views.
Actual real-world examples of how "fake news" has been used:
"Fake news that's being released by some foreign government"
"Fake news was able to spread so easily from sources like InfoWars and Breitbart and TheBlaze"
"the Rolling Stone, which did so much to damage the reputation of journalism with their fake news"
"the New York Times IS fake news"
"Kellyanne Conway is fake news"
"fake news from the CIA"
"the fake news phenomenon is spreading to children's toys"

Fake anime fans 

People that only watch anime because it's now mainstream and people that only watch 2 shows and call themselves a fan. Fake anime fans usually do the following:

Have an 80s anime character as their pfp, yet cant name what anime they're from.

bully you for liking anime but have an anime pfp online

bully you for liking anime but a few years later, now that it's popular they act like they've been hardcore fans for ages but can only name 3 anime

ONLY watch shonen. they only watch One piece, MHA Shit slayer etc.

The type of people to bandwagon from the anime hype without actually watching any because they know it's popular. they claim on twitter that they like anime but never mention anime again. usually seen from desperate females that want attention. I just don’t like people being cunts and riding on trends with which they would have otherwise dissociated or they would have derided

if you only watch action or shonen anime, dont call yourself an anime fan. You're a SHOUNEN fan, not an anime fan. Anime fans actually watch anime from a variety of genres.

It's so weird that anime is mainstream now. I'm happy that it's popular, now people get to enjoy the masterpieces of anime, but at the same time I hate that all these people are watching anime. They don't enjoy it like a real fan would. They only dip their toes into the pool that is anime and it fucking sucks when you know there is shit that deserves to be watched and appreciated.
Gate keeping is good.
Fake anime fans: "Omg. I LOVE anime!!! I've been a fan for YEARS"

Me: "What's your favourite anime?"

Fake anime fans: "My HeRo AcADeMiA!!!!"

normally people that have mha as their favourite anime are probably casual shonen watchers. not fans

Fake-tard 

The social retard trolls on YouTube, LiveLeak, Metacafe, etc., who have an incontrollable impulse of posting "FAKE!" at on the "Comments" section for every video imaginable. These people are obviously devoid of the concept of reality. They're close cousins of those who post, did he die? on Failblog.
"I'm sick of Fake-tards taking over Failblog and posting 'FAKE!' on every other comment. Thank God I can click 'Spam' on their dumb asses"

Typical Fake-tard comment:

"Totally gay and fake, that liquor store shooting footage was staged. "

fake religion 

A religion that is made up to offend theists.

I personally find some of them stupid, and some funny.
Me: The FSM(church of the flying spaghetti monster) is a fake religion someone made to offend theists.

Other guy: Yeah, it's funny to watch theists get their panties in a wad over it.

Me: I'm staying out of this!
