I keep seeing this shitty meme phrase repeated over and over. What in the fuck is a “fake fan”?

Some retards here used to think what if someone like whatever they don't those are somehow "fake" fans while they are only "true" ones.
It's just another flamewar-starting practice, so

Someone who pretends to be a part of something larger than they want it to be in order to feel hip among their peers.
The biggest example among the Pokemon community would be someone claiming to be a big fan of despite not having touched a single piece of Pokemon media since year 2000, and only having broken that inactivity when something becomes trendy like Pokemon Go.

In the pokémon community for example : anyone who doesn't care, or worse is happy, about dexcut is a fake fan.
Pokémon's essence are the pokémons no matter what anyone believes.

Someone with a genuine interest that the thing he is a fan of is the best it can be.
The onions-filled consoomer hates him because his demands mean PRODUCT takes longer to release. Since consoomer does not care about the quality of PRODUCT, he just wants to consume it, that angers him.

>Football players made jokes about us playing Pokemon in High school
>Pokemon Go comes out
>they all play it during lunch with their girlfriends all yelling about what they caught, crowding around the Pokestop in our school
That's a fake fan. Granted one of them started playing the actual games afterwards.

>how it's currently being used
A buzzword insult to silence any and all criticism of the franchise, especially towards people who supported dexit or think gen 8 is really shit so far.

>what it actually means
A person who says they like pokemon but only knows Pikachu/less than 20 pokemon without reference, never watched the cartoon or played any pokemon games except moba shit. It's not a high bar at all but there are normies that pretend they are fans when it suits them.
