No, it does not
mean a person who joined the fandom all
late or only enjoys certain songs of a band/artist. A fake
fan is someone who:
- Is only in the fandom for the ships and hates or attacks other fans who have opposing ships and usually start shipwars
- Threatens, harrasses, or bothers the creators and/or actors of their fandom
- Berates fanartists and fanfic writers for tiny mistakes in their artwork or writings
- Calls out other fans for being fake in an
immature or inappropriate way
- Harrasses cosplayers, either in a sexual, abusive, or "friendly" way without the consent of cosplayer
- Often says that they are
dating or married to their favorite person in the fandom and will
hurt or harrass people who like the same person or the person'
s significant other
- Harrasses others who do not like their fandom instead of minding their own goddamn business and let others like what they like
Person 1: I just started to get into Twenty One Pilots, their new album Trench is so good!
Person 2:
Wow, you'
re such a fake
fan, you haven't even listened to their old songs yet..
Person 1: Well I just started.
Person 2: SO WHAT!? You are not a real fan if you JUST started!
