fandomite

A fandomite is someone fully engrossed in Fandom culture, to the point of considering their fandom activities "activism"; very often disregarding actual problems even in their own fandom communities, and prioritizing their comfort and fun before anything else.

Classic examples of fandomite behaviour is rampant homonationalism; silencing others based on 'fandom etiquette' or similar reasons when their community is criticised for one reason or another; finding their entertainment activities inherently morally correct, solely on the basis of it being fandom content; protecting any kind of content on the name of 'freedom of speech', no matter if it is hateful or not; among others.

"They are such a fandomite. I said I didn't like AO3 and they said I wasn't grateful for the gift it is upon mankind, and surely I do not remember how trying the times before it existed were for them, fandom elders. When I told them I didn't like it because of it allowing racist and other hateful content in it, they said I am against freedom of speech."

Fandomite

a fandomite is a person or being who has grown to an unhealthy obsession for a piece of media, as a result of negligent, extensive exposure to fandom communities that support and normalize fandomite tendency. Fandomites oftentimes develop typing quirks, ship characters unnecessarily or in problematic ways, decorate their Discord profile to such an unnecessary degree, develop a generic 'silly' personality, begin using tonetags, and overall become what a would be 'cringeworthy' person.
