A member of a fandom who engages in extremely toxic behaviors most commonly associated with religious fundamentalism, especially overtly hostile and abusive treatment toward non-members and other fandom subgroups, targeting specific individuals for coordinated harassment and bullying in retaliation for perceived slights, and aggressively dogmatic attitudes about fandom canon.
Once the fandomentalists had made up their minds that she was to blame for writing they did not like in a television show, they refused to accept that she was not at all involved with the show.

Get the Fandomentalist mug.A person who takes their religion so literally and to such extremes that they contradict the very basis of their faith. They typically believe in a literal, verbatim interpretation of their scripture. They also have ridiculous, childish defenses to intelligent criticism of their beliefs that border on insanity. The level of hypocrisy and stupidity most of these people exhibit is truly profound.
Prime examples of fundamentalists are the geniuses who call themselves Christians and march around with signs that say "GOD HATES FAGS," seriously suggest that the earth is 6,000 years old when an overwhelming amount of scientific evidence proves otherwise, or tell women that they are filthy when they are menstruating (because it's in the Bible, you know).
Fundamentalists in general give religion a bad name. By definiition, it is impossible for any religion or belief structure that is centered on love, compassion, understanding, and forgiveness (most of the major religions are) to be anything but great. However, when people watch the news and see these dumbasses parading around with their "THANK GOD FOR AIDS - FAGS GO TO HELL" signs and calling themselves Christians, it tends to leave a bad taste in the mouth.

Jerry Falwell blamed the 9/11 attacks on the wrath of God, which he claims was incited by gays, lesbians, and pornography. He's a fundamentalist.

Fundamentalists dominate newer, smaller and more radical Christian denominations, especially Pentecostal and independent Baptist, but have had limited success in mainline Protestant bodies, except for the Southern Baptist Convention.

Get the Fundamentalist mug.1) A person who exploits religion for political purposes. 2)A politician who uses religion solely as a means to further their political career.
Americas founding fathers feared that a political fundamentalist would someday come along who would use religion as a means to undermine democracy in an attempt to establish a theocracy in America.Prudently they established the doctrine that seperation of church and state must be upheld to preserve democracy.

Get the political fundamentalist mug.a term coined by Bruce Levine to describe the mindset of a group of people who "are singularly attached to cheap stuff."
The term describes a culture that "creates increasing material expectations" that often can not be satiated, "devalues human connectedness," "socializes people to be self-absorbed and selfish," "obliterates self-reliance," "alienates people from normal human emotional reactions" and "sells false hope that creates more pain."

Fundamentalist Consumerism is demonstrated en-mass on every Black Friday. On Long Island, NY in 2008, Wal-Mart employee Jdimytai Damour was trampled to death by customers stampeding into the store when the doors were opened. Police attempting to clear the scene were met with hostile reactions from customers, some insisting that they "had been waiting in line since yesterday morning" to get into the store. Fundamentalist Consumerism devalues all life in pursuit of 'stuff.'
