[ SLANG ][ FANDOM_BEHAVIOR ][ NOUN ]
A competitive push by rival fan groups to get their favorite idol's individual performance clip (fancam) to outperform a rival's in views or shares, distinct from a ship war by being about a solo performer's visibility rather than a couple pairing.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"There's a real fancam war going on between those two fandoms over whose clip trends first."
LORE & ORIGIN
Extends 'ship-war''s competitive fandom-conflict framing to fancam view-count competitions, once K-pop/idol fandoms started openly competing over fancam metrics.
