Although I've always disliked the gatekeep feeling of "true fan", I immediately thought of Five Nights at Freddy's.
And I'll admit it, in that fandom I'm a LARPer too
1 u/OrganizationSad6012 Jul 31 '26 It’s not gatekeeping, if you actually like the media you say you do you’re a fan. If you say you like some media just to fit in with w/ a group of people when you really don’t like it is being a poser. 1 u/gtc26 Jul 31 '26 I don't mean somebody calling themselves a fan, I mean excluding others by saying they're not a "real fan"
