Popfanaticultionism 

A psychological condition in which an individual develops an extreme, group-influenced obsession—either admiration or hatred—toward an author or writer. This condition arises when people, often as part of an online or real-world community, lose individual reasoning and adopt a collective emotional response toward an author’s work, personal life, or public opinions. Those affected by popfanaticultionism engage in behaviors such as blind idolization, aggressive defense against criticism, mass harassment, or organized attempts to discredit and "cancel" a writer. Their actions are primarily driven by the influence of fan groups, literary circles, or social media communities that reinforce a singular, often exaggerated, perspective.
1. The rise of popfanaticultionism has fueled a growing divide in literary circles, where readers who favor highbrow literature express disdain for those drawn to mainstream, pop-culture-driven narratives.

2. The obsessive disdain for mainstream literature, fueled by popfanaticultionism, can manifest as a compulsive need to reject popular works, leading to a literary snobbery that borders on a psychological fixation.

3. His popfanaticultionism blinded him with irrational hatred, making him despise books solely for being popular.

4. Consumed by popfanaticultionism, she ridiculed readers of mainstream fiction, believing herself intellectually superior.

5. His popfanaticultionism warped his judgment, making him dismiss great literature just because it had mass appeal.

6. Driven by popfanaticultionism, she obsessed over hating bestsellers more than actually enjoying books.

7. His toxic popfanaticultionism turned literary discussions into rants against anything remotely successful.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
