Fandommaxxing Vs Fanon?
4.7BRAINROT SCOREFANDOMMAXXING— ORIGIN, MEANING & USAGE
Fandommaxxing A forecasted term for treating fandom membership itself as a maximized identity performance — accumulating merch, lore knowledge, and community status as visibly and completely as possible, rather than participating for its own sake.
EXAMPLE USAGE
"She's not even that into the show anymore, she's just fandommaxxing at this point for the community status."
FANON— ORIGIN, MEANING & USAGE
Fanon A specific piece of fan-invented lore, backstory, or character trait — never stated or confirmed anywhere in the official source material — that a fandom has collectively agreed to treat as if it were real, distinct from 'Fanon Expansion,' which names the ongoing growth process by which more and more of this material gets accepted, rather than any single invented detail itself.
EXAMPLE USAGE
"That whole 'they grew up on the same street' backstory is pure fanon, it's never once been in the actual show."
