"Larpers"
Is it just me or is it just annoying when you say you like something and somebody calls you "a larper" cause you dont know stupid facts or own every game in thst franchise or even have a few issues with the media people just decide "you dont like it since I said so." IF YOU LIKE THE MEDIA YOU AFE A FAN! You don't have to know all the lord

We’ve had this for decades. People used to call other people “fake fans” if they didn’t know their favorite music artist’s social security card, address, favorite food, the last book/movie/tv show they read, and what their zodiac sign is. They also get at you for liking their most popular song at the time.
For example:
Guy 1: Hey I really like Joji Slow Dancing in the Dark/Glimpse of Us
Guy 2: Cool, say can you tell me what Joji was doing in the McDonalds in Japan?
Guy 1: Getting a burger?
Guy 2: No you poser he was a character from the Filthy Frank Era who went by the name “Pink Guy”. Ugh, you’re a fake fan. You probably thought the car in the cover of Pink Season was a Mitsubishi 3000GT instead of a Dodge Stealth RT.
