A type of fandom that isn't involved in the internet community except to constantly deride the subject matter, especially the newer examples. Usually an old school purist. Especially common in anime and Final Fantasy fandom.

-Being aggressively judgemental about a person's value or worth as a human being in consideration to their like or dislike of your respective interest and or scene.
