Label Victim
Someone who is the victim of a derogatory tag, name or label; merely because they happen to have one or two minuscule or otherwise unimportant, vague similarities with the said tag.
It can lead to low self-esteem, lack of friends and money, indecisiveness, loss of fashion sense. Many people happen to be victims, and usually become victims by being called such a label by a friend or person who religiously flocks to Encyclopedia Dramatica (ED) for everything they don't know about, and to find new things to bash. Occasionally, UD comes into play with these tags, but it is not always the case.
Sometimes it even results in the said Label Victim to become an hero.

The Label Victim takes many forms, as seen below.
1) I like anime and manga, and find myself enjoying the songs; so I MUST be a weeaboo, according to ED.
{{ KEEP IN MIND: that a non-Japanese person can like the culture, watch anime, speak the language and RESPECT THE CULTURE, while still keeping in touch with their own. Which keeps them from being a Weeaboo*. }}
2) I own a pair of TRIPP pants, so I MUST be a Mall Goth.
3) I'm Caucasian and I like rap, so I MUST be a wigger.
4) I'm photogenic, so I MUST be a camwhore.
*According to Rule 44 of the Rules Of The Internet, even one positive comment about Japanese things can make you a weeaboo (Sorry, all. Not my fault they're morons.)
