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
