Anime tourist 

A person that only watches the most popular anime or any anime that becomes trendy via memes on other social media platforms. They do not engage or explore any other anime or other Japanese media outside of the major, well-known anime and often bandwagon on the show's fandom. They're only in the fandom and watch the show for the hype and nothing else.

Person 1: My friend swore that he is now a weeb despite him only watching Jujutsu Kaisen... I asked if he could name other anime that aired this season, but he gave me no response. He's just an anime tourist.

Anime tourist

People who don’t separate fiction from reality in anime; and then attack others who do.

2 People who come into anime culture and attack it’s people and tell them what’s weird and what’s not weird, what to do and what not to do. People who don’t understand casual anime culture, therefore tour around the community and tell people of the culture what’s wrong or what’s right as if they were a real tourist in another country that doesn’t belong.

3 Someone who comes into the anime community and treat the anime like it’s real and judges others in the community who don’t treat it like it’s real.

Person 1 “The sexualization of girls and women in anime is so weird. Your waifu is a kid!”

Person 2 “Shut up tourist! It’s about the character, she even doesn’t exist!” (sadly)
