ISP Refugee

A term used to categorise those who fled the ISorrowProductions Discord server during the Just Noise rebellion in 2017. These users fled all over Discord, and at least one can normally be found in every active discord server. They are known for their anti-social behaviour, badly drawn profile pictures, and worship a mythical being simply known as "Bory"

NPR Refugees

With the close of the NPR Comment Section for being too toxic, cultish, abusive, trollish, and generally a small group of OAF centrist-democrats who harassed everyone who was left or right of them, regardless if it was for real or imagined disagreement, centered on socieopathic and narcissistic OAFs, who misuse the name NPR and grossly misuse the term refugee. They are the reason the NPR Comment Section is gone.
Person 1: The NPR Refugee mod just accuses people of being domestic-terrorists for no reason.
Person 2: The NPR Refugee likely just missed his morning med call. Give him a break he has nothing to do in his retirement except shout at the internet.
Person 3: Why would you go there? NPR Refugees is like visiting a retirement home where they are all angry at the TV.

Tumblr refugee 

Tumblr refugees are people who left Tumblr and joined Twitter following the 2018 porn ban. It is likely that another wave of refugees will come now that iOS has banned many tags on Tumblr.

These users tend to be young white women who are incredibly pure. They make callout posts on everyone, enjoy starting drama, have bad games, stealing art, and think literally everything is problematic and evil, such as Danganronpa. Ironically, they hate porn, despite leaving tumblr because of them banning that. Perhaps they should have stayed there then. Twitter has become exponentially worse thanks to the Tumblr users.

Their fandoms tend to be Sonic the Hedgehog, She-Ra, Kipo, Dreamworks Trolls, Cookie Run, Sanrio, Undertale, RWBY, Sk8, Camp Cretaceous, No Straight Roads, Animal Crossing, The Owl House, K-Pop, Pokemon, Splatoon, Studio Ghibli, FNAF, Moomin, and Vocaloid. They think everything else is problematic.
Alyssa: Breathing is disrespectful to dead people uwu! Now excuse me as I “fix” Splatoon fanart of Marina. Don’t forget, Homestuck is shitty and you’re evil for liking it!

Normal person: Damn, you’re such a tumblr refugee
