[ SLANG ][ FANDOM ][ NOUN ]
A fan's complete, deliberate departure from a fandom community β not just losing interest, but formally announcing and severing ties with the community itself, often following drama or accumulated disillusionment.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"After that whole scandal she announced a full fandom divorce, left every server and unfollowed every account."
LORE & ORIGIN
Extends the 'breakup' framing already used for parasocial attachment into a version aimed at the community rather than any single figure, borrowing 'divorce' to mark this as a formal, deliberate severance rather than a quiet fade.
