1->'''Chris Briggs:''' What are Bathematicians?\
2'''Duncan:''' Camp Bloodbath fans. It's kind of our awesome nickname.
3-->--''Film/TheFinalGirls''
4
5Many fanbases on TV have their own nicknames. Some are generated by themselves, some from observers and some from detractors.
6
7Be advised when using these terms that by the time the name becomes well known to outsiders, it's often gathered some distaste by those within the fandom. "{{Trekkie}}" has reached universal status and even appears in reputable dictionaries, but while it has usage among the ''Franchise/StarTrek'' fandom, a VocalMinority within the fandom prefer usage of the term "Trekker" and only use "Trekkie" derisively. Likewise, "UsefulNotes/{{Whovian|s}}" comes primarily from US Public Television -- it was originated by, and for some time a trademark of, the ''Series/DoctorWho'' Fan Club of America -- and many fans outside the US think it sounds a bit silly, preferring the considerably more baroque but less jargonish "fans of the programme".
8
9For video games, if a given game has a PrestigiousPlayerTitle for the player character, the fan community nickname may be based on that title. E.g players of ''Videogame/AzurLane'' are called "Commanders" or "Shikikans".
10
11This has really picked up with the introduction of TheInternet, because fans can interact with each other on {{Fora}} and such. Website/FourChan and its derivatives have [[{{Snowclone}} a common template for such terms]]: Just take the name or premise of the show [[RefugeInAudacity and add "-fag" after it...]] (e.g. [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Sonicfags]], [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Pokéfags]] or [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Ponyfags]]) ... as suffixes attributed to their FanDumb.

21
22[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
23* {{Otaku}}, in the western sense which only refers to being a fan of anime or manga. There's also "weeaboo", which was originally meant to refer to Japanophilia to the extent that they praise Japanese as the MasterRace and [[BoomerangBigot despise their original Western heritage]], but in fact they only learned Japanese culture from watching anime and often end up using romanized Japanese words (e.g. "kawaii") in English context when that would not be necessary at all thus ending up looking pretentious. People now use it as a term of general derision against anyone who likes anything Japanese, or Asian at all, whether or not they actually look down on anything western -- for this reason, some people regard it as a racist term.
24* ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'': The Creator/{{Funimation}}-sponsored cosplay group that met at Anime Expo 2013 used the term "Troops"; whether this is widely accepted and used remains to be seen.
25* Azutard or Daiohtard (''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'')

45* Moonies (''Franchise/SailorMoon'')

50* Shinigamiphiles (''Manga/{{Bleach}}''), which kind of sucks for those who like the [[OvershadowedByAwesome human characters]] or vaizards more than the [[BreakoutCharacter shinigami]]. "Bleachers" has been tossed around in some places.
51* Creator/{{Toonami}} Faithful, for those who revived the block. T.O.M. himself, the host of the block, uses the name.
52* [=T&Bros=] (''Anime/TigerAndBunny'')
53* X-no-Miko (''Manga/FushigiYuugi''; this is applicable to individual characters only, such as "Tamahome no Miko", "Hotohori no Miko", "Tasuki no Miko", etc.) Some of the more neutral fan groups refer to themselves as Seishi and assign counterparts in each group for each character.
54* ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'': Berserkers; also occasionally used are Apostle Spawn, The Godfans and The Fans Of The Hawk (the latter two in reference to, respectively, the Godhand and the Band of the Hawk).

65** Marvelites is another common nickname.
66* Shellheads (Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles).
67* Wingnuts for ''ComicBook/{{Nightwing}}''.

83* Fans of ''Series/{{Glee}}'' fanfic writer Caitlin (also known as "Keitorin Asthore" or "redbullandcupcake batter") refer to themselves as "Cake Pops". They also refer to Caitlin herself as "Mama Cake Pop".
84* Another example of the Glee fandom, CP Coulter (author of the famous fic ''FanFic/{{Dalton}}'' has a fandom called "The Coult", its members "Coults". Coulter is commonly called Mama CP or CP Trollter, the latter due to her infamous TrollingCreator tendencies.
85* Roleplay/TheVelvetKey was called "Fate/Persona" derisively by people outside the game who disapproved of the large {{Franchise/Nasuverse}} cast, which at the time took up half the game. This became an InsultBackfire as the cast started calling themselves that proudly.
86* ''Fanfic/{{Hivefled}}'''s readers are "Fledlings".
87* Fans of Creator/AnneBWalsh's ''Fanfic/{{Dangerverse}}'' are known as "the Pack" or "the DA" (the Dangerverse Asylum).

109[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
110* Backies (''Franchise/BackToTheFuture'')

112* Ghostheads (''Franchise/{{Ghostbusters}}'')
113* Ghostwatchers (''Film/{{Ghostwatch}}'')

127* Ascendants (''Film/JupiterAscending'')
128* Roomies (''Film/TheRoom2003'')

143* ''[[Literature/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy The Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy]]'' fans call each other "hoopy froods," from the in-universe term for [[{{ItMakesSenseInContext}} someone who always knows where his towel is]], and is therefore a really together (i.e. capable) person.
144* ''Literature/HoratioHornblower'' fans have no overall nickname, but fans of [[EnsembleDarkhorse Archie Kennedy]] call themselves "Crumpeteers," based on the FanNickname for him.
145* Janeites (Creator/JaneAusten)
146* Lemmings of Discord (''Literature/SwordOfTruth'' {{Hatedom}}), coined in one of the more creative insults they've received.
147* Mizzies (''Literature/LesMiserables'') Confusingly, this is sometimes also used as a collective term for the ''[[FanNickname characters]]''. "Mizfits" is a rarer variant.

149* ''Literature/HonorHarrington'' has the convention-related nickname of "Berets" (for the distinctive headgear worn by members of the fan club).
150* ''Literature/HarryPotter'' has Potterheads. Also known as Potterites. Pottheads, for a more pejorative term. Also "Potterphile". Non-fans are known as {{Muggles}} or "[[MisaimedFandom Mudbloods]]".

156** One Big Happy Weasley Family (OBHWF) for anyone who supports the canon ships for the main characters.
157** It's also quite common for fans to declare allegiance to Hogwarts houses, referring to themselves by the name of the House whose values they believe that they embody most. Many fans are much more likely to call themselves [[BloodKnight "Gryffindors"]], [[TheChessmaster "Slytherins"]], [[TheSmartGuy "Ravenclaws"]] or [[TheHeart "Hufflepuffs"]] than they are to call themselves by any other blanket fandom nickname.
158* ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'': "Ringers" (pejoratively "Ringnuts") is used mostly by fans of the movies. Book fans call themselves "Tolkienites" and Tolkien language nerds use Tolkiendil (pl. Tolkiendili): ''-(n)dil'' is a Quenya (Elvish) suffix roughly equivalent to ''-phile''.
159* Shansters for fans of [[Literature/TheSagaOfDarrenShan the]] [[Literature/TheDemonata works]] of Darren Shan.
160* ''Literature/StrangerThanFanfiction'': InUniverse example. Fans of the show "Wiz Kids" are known as "Wizzers".
161** Shippers of Dr. Bumfuzzle and Dr. Peachtree are known as "Peachfuzzlers". It used to be "Bumtrees", but they decided to change it after Cash Carter (who plays Dr. Bumfuzzle)'s last girlfriend broke up with him after getting a box full of hair and a note saying "We know Amy and Cash are in love. Get out of their way or this will be all that's left of you! Sincerely, the Bumtrees".
162* ''Literature/TheTwilightSaga'' has various fandom names. Twilighters is the primary name, but at it's peak, the fandom also used various nicknames, including Twilight Moms (Twimoms, for short), Twi-hards (from "diehard"), Twerds (''Twilight''+ nerds) and Twiguys (used to refer to male fans); plus Team Jacob and Team Edward for {{shipping}}.

164* Hard Core Fan Freaks for those devoted to following Robert Jordan's massive ''Literature/TheWheelOfTime'' series. These are also known as Randlanders, as the world is often referred to as Randland, which again comes from the name of main character Rand al'Thor
165* Phagers for members of the ''Literature/{{Gone}}'' fansite Gaiaphage.com, and Fayzians for fans of the series itself. That being said, most Fayzians are members of Gaiaphage, so the terms overlap a lot.
166* Not used often, but several fans of Creator/StephenKing's ''Franchise/TheDarkTower'' series have referred to themselves as "Tower Junkies" based on an offhand(and completely spot-on) comment about Roland made by [[DeadpanSnarker Eddie Dean]] in "The Drawing Of The Three".
167* The major ''Literature/TheHungerGames'' fansites had a poll for fans to select their own fandom nickname. "Tributes" won narrowly over "Mockingjays."

169* ''Literature/SkulduggeryPleasant'' fans are known as "minions," or occasionally "munchkins."
170* "Afpers" for ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' fans who are on the {{UsefulNotes/Usenet}} group alt.fan.pratchett. Discworld fans also sometimes call themselves "Loonies", because that's what [[Creator/TerryPratchett Sir Terry]] called them. He meant it affectionately. We think.
171* Fans of ''Literature/HisDarkMaterials'' who inhabit the Bridge To The Stars website style themselves Sraffies.
172* ''Literature/{{Divergent}}'' has an interesting case in which the fans refer to themselves by whichever faction in the books they identify themselves with. (Dauntless, Erudite, Amity, Abnegation, Candor). However, sometimes "Factionless" is used as a general term for all of them, based off the name of one of the fansites. The common overall term is "Initiates".
173* ''Literature/TheMortalInstruments'' fandom has taken for itself the name of the half-angel demon hunters around whom the books revolve, the Shadowhunters.
174* Whollies, for fans of the ''Literature/{{Unwind}}'' series.
175* ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'': The Brotherhood Without Banners; /r/asoiaf on {{Website/Reddit}} prefers the term "Crows".
176* Gladers (''Literature/TheMazeRunner'' and its sequels and prequels by James Dashner). Greenies is used for new fans of the TMR franchise (books and movies included).
177* ''Literature/{{Victoria}}'': Victorians, naturally enough.

183* Fans of ''Literature/ReadyPlayerOne'', be it the books and/or the film, have taken the term of Gunters (after name of the group of Halliday fans who have taken up the task to participate in the Egg Hunt in the first book).

186[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
187* Telephile for TV fans as a whole.
188* The ''Series/AmericanIdol'' forums make fan clubs for each contestant, each with their own unique name, which can range from simply being based on the contestant's name ("Arch Angels" or "Archies" for David Archuleta, "Gokey Gang" for Danny Gokey, "Anoop Troop" for Anoop Desai, etc.) to a reference to a prominent feature (fans of the dreadlocked contestant Jason Castro called themselves "Dreadheads") to the more arcane (after David Cook called himself a "word nerd" in reference to his love of crossword puzzles in an early interview, his fan group christened themselves the Word Nerds), to the just plain weird (Ramiele Malubay was small, cute, Asian, and had a powerful voice--so the fan group decided to christen themselves the "[[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Pikachu]] Posse".) ''Series/BigBrother'' fans do the same.
189* Arconiacs (''Series/OnlyMurdersInTheBuilding''), named after the titular building where the protagonists live and the murders occur
190* Arrowheads (''Series/{{Arrow}}'' or Green Arrow in general.)

194* Beasties (''Series/{{Beauty and the Beast|1987}}'')

197* Buffistas or Scoobies (''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'')
198** Kittens are a sub-group of BTVS fans who specifically ship Willow/Tara

203* Clone Club (''Series/OrphanBlack''). Queer female fans are called "clonesbians".
204* Colbert Nation for fans of ''Series/TheColbertReport''. [[Creator/StephenColbert Stephen]] regularly refers to them as such, and it's the show's url as well (it was formerly a "fansite" created by the show's writers)! "Heroes" and "It-Getters" are used as well, which have slightly different connotations. Unique in that all these names were given to the fans by Colbert in the ''first episode'', and stuck.

216* Fannerinos (Fans of ''Series/FullHouse'' and its SequelSeries ''Series/FullerHouse''), at least according to the ''Fuller House'' Twitter account. Might be in reference to Kimmy Gibbler nicknaming the Tanner family the "Tannerinos" in ''Full House''.

218* Gleeks (''Series/{{Glee}}'')

737[[folder:Puppet Shows]]
738* A common nickname for fans of Franchise/TheMuppets is "Muppet Freaks;" while this is commonly accepted by longtime fans, relatively newer fans (or longtime fans who are new to the fandom itself) tend to find the name to be a tad offensive if they're unaware of what it actually means.

740[[/folder]]
741
742[[folder:Radio]]

744* Fans of British radio star Terry Wogan are either [=TOGs=] (Terry's Old Geezers/Gals) or [=TYGs=] (Terry's Young Guys/Girls). There are also a number of other terms no longer in widespread use, such as [=TWITs=] (Terry Wogan Is Top).

754[[/folder]]
755
756[[folder:Sports]]

758* Cheeseheads or Packer-backers ([[UsefulNotes/NationalFootballLeague Green Bay Packers]]), the former because of their habit of wearing foam cheese wedge hats to Packer games they attend.

772* Red Army ([[UsefulNotes/BritishFootyTeams Manchester United FC]])
773* Gooners (Arsenal FC)
774* Yid Army (Tottenham Hotspur FC)—From Spurs' historically large Jewish support base; even today, 10% of the club's season ticket holders and 5% of its match attendees are Jewish (Jews make up less than 2% of the population of London and only about 0.5% of the population of Britain as a whole). Since "Yid" is a slur, there is a lot of debate about whether the nickname is an example of [[AppropriatedAppellation reclamation]] or tantamount to the New York Mets' fan club being called the "Legion of K**es."
775* Toon Army (Newcastle United FC)
776* Villans (Aston Villa FC)
777* Brazil's [[UsefulNotes/AssociationFootball football]] teams have a few [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torcida besides the ultras]]: among others, Corinthians is "Bunch of Crazies" (Bando de loucos), Cruzeiro is "Blue China" (China azul), Atlético-MG is "The Mass" (A Massa), and Internacional are "Colorados" (referencing a Spanish word for red).

Some of these nicknames, such as Bosteros and Gallinas, [[AppropriatedAppellation were originally insults made by opposing fans before being embraced as actual nicknames.]]
779* Spain also has its own fandom nicknames; examples include Madridistas for Real Madrid, Cules for Barcelona, Indios for Atlético Madrid, Sevillistas for Sevilla FC, Beticos for Real Betis, and Los Che for Valencia.
780* In Italy, people tend to adapt football club names to refer to their fans: examples include Milanisti for AC Milan, Interisti for FC Internazionale, Juventini for Juventus, Romanisti for AS Roma, Laziali for SS Lazio, Fiesoli for ACF Fiorentina, or Napoletani[[note]]which is also incidentally the appellation for people coming from Naples[[/note]] for SSC Napoli. Not exactly the most original way to refer to fandoms, but it gets the point across nonetheless.
781* Roligans (Denmark national [[UsefulNotes/AssociationFootball football]] team: so called because "rolig" is Danish for "calm" or "peaceful", as they are a really good time but are quite nice and not FootballHooligans)
782* Tartan Army (Scotland national football team; despite the [[ViolentGlaswegian stereotypes of Scots]], and much actual hooliganism in Scottish club football, the Tartan Army is actually pretty close to the Roligans in atmosphere)

791* Process-Trusters (diehard fans of the [[UsefulNotes/NationalBasketballAssociation Philadelphia 76ers]] during their early-to-mid 2010s rebuilding period; the team's rebuilding strategy, which involved a lot of apparently ill-advised trades and seemingly deliberate sucking for better draft picks, was termed "The Process", and the word from on high was that fans should "trust the Process." Hardcore fans took "Trust the Process" as a mantra; other basketball fans and Philadelphians considered them delusional until the Sixers started winning again around 2017.)
792* Green Teamers ([[UsefulNotes/NationalBasketballAssociation Boston Celtics]])
793
794[[AC:Basketball (Women's)]]

801* Canuckleheads ([[UsefulNotes/NationalHockeyLeague Vancouver Canucks]])
802* Leafs Nation ([[UsefulNotes/NationalHockeyLeague Toronto Maple Leafs]])

804* Gritizens ([[UsefulNotes/NationalHockeyLeague Philadelphia Flyers]]). It's technically more applicable to fans of their [[HumanoidAbomination mascot]] Gritty, but hockey fans can't talk about one without inevitably talking about the other.
805* Devils Army ([[UsefulNotes/NationalHockeyLeague New Jersey Devils]])
806* Krakheads ([[UsefulNotes/NationalHockeyLeague Seattle Kraken]])
807
808[[AC:Other/Collegiate]]

810* In UsefulNotes/FormulaOne, when one asks of the term "Tifosi", the immediate answer will be the legions of Scuderia Ferrari fans. It's to be expected for them to be at full force in Italy-based races (particularly during the Italian Grand Prix, which has been held either at Imola or at Monza on separate occasions).
811** A more recent example would be the "Orange Army", describing the legions of Max Verstappen fans, Orange being the predominant color for Dutch athletes. Usually in full force at the Red Bull Ring in Austria (due to being the home track of Red Bull Racing F1 Team), or at the Zandvoort circuit (Verstappen's home circuit), notable for popping orange smoke flares.
812* Big Blue Nation (University of Kentucky sports, especially men's basketball and to a lesser extent football).

821** Izzone: Michigan State Spartans[[note]]Tom Izzo has been the men's head coach since 1995[[/note]]
822** The Kennel Club: Gonzaga Bulldogs[[note]]While the connection between kennels and dogs is obvious, more to the point is that the school's former basketball home, Charlotte Y. Martin Centre (1965–2004; still used for women's volleyball), was nicknamed "The Kennel". This nickname passed to the Zags' current basketball home of [=McCarthey=] Athletic Center.[[/note]] %% Gonzaga uses "Centre" for the first building, "Center" for the second.

834** Swami Army (India)
835* In UsefulNotes/AustralianRulesFootball, commentators often use (Club nickname) or (Club colors) Army. Fremantle Dockers fans are a little more creative, with "Purple Haze".

837
838[[/folder]]
839
840[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
841* Long-time wargame hobbyists, especially those with a high tolerance for complexity and a fondness for "monster" games from the 1970s and 1980s, call themselves "grognards" (from a French slang term for an old soldier, especially one who was a veteran of the Napoleonic Wars)
842* While fans of ''TabletopGame/{{Ravenloft}}'' can't seem to agree on a collective name for themselves, the team of fanzine writers called "The Kargatane" deserve a mention, for naming themselves after the in-game brainwashed mooks of the Kargat: a secret police force for which Ravenloft's original Creator/{{TSR}} design team was nicknamed.
843* Wahams for ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}}'' and ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000''.

864* [=AFOLs=], used specifically to refer to [[FunWithAcronyms adult fans of]] {{Franchise/LEGO}}.

870
871[[folder:Video Games]]
872* Gamers for players of VideoGames (and/or TabletopGames) in general.
873* "Vidmasters" for ''VideoGame/{{Marathon}}'' fans. The term originally referred to people who could beat every level on the hardest difficulty with only the starting equipment and without saving.

1086* And then there's the MediaNotes/{{furr|yFandom}}ies, which at least started out as a fan group of "anthropomorphic" animals. The focus hasn't shifted, but it has broadened somewhat. And the fandom's population has positively exploded over the last few years.
1087** "Scalie" is a term used for a furry who likes "[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin scaly]]" creatures such as dinosaurs, lizards and dragons.
1088* There's also "lolfans", which are people who follows a given fandom not because they're genuinely interested in it, but because they like making fun of it.
1089* Readers of [[SpellMyNameWithAThe The]] [[http://thechive.com/ Chive]] call themselves 'Chivers'.

1095* Readers of [[http://yoisthisracist.com Yo, Is This Racist?]] are called "racecars". Readers of the dating advice-related SpinOff [[http://yoshouldidumpthisahole.com Yo, Should I Dump This Asshole?]] are therefore called "dumptrucks".

1099* Behold the Nimjarmy, a.k.a. fans of Nimja Hypnosis, Nimja's non-hypno stories, and/or anything related to the fanfic ''Fanfic/PokemonXNimjaPlayTheGame''. Oddly enough, Nimja himself came up with that term; the fandom (particularly the author of ''PTG'') latched onto it like a glove. The Nimjarmy itself is derived into two main categories: Nimmies and Gamers. Basically, the rule is this: if you're only into Nimja for the [[UsefulNotes/{{BDSM}} sexual stuff and the hypnosis]], you're a Nimmie. If, on the other hand, you're a non-sexual Nimja fan who listens to mainly non-sexual files and/or the livestreams and mainly likes Nimja because of [[Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus how]] [[Music/{{Queen}} much]] [[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 of]] [[VideoGame/{{Portal}} a]] [[JustForFun/OneOfUs nerd]] [[Literature/{{Discworld}} he]] [[Music/WeirdAlYankovic is]] (and yes, he has stated himself that he's into ''all of those things''), you're a Gamer. Interestingly enough, the term "Gamer" started out as an FCN for ''only'' ''PTG'' fans, before eventually expanding and coming to refer to all nerdy Nimja fans in general.
1100* Thanks to an InsultBackfire from detractors, [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCF4U5Vr7rhcJ3yqtOvCXjew Thomas Vaccaro, the Unicorn of War]], is now the proud leader of the "Union of War".
1101* Even Disney content creators are not safe too. Traci Hines calls her Patreon supporters "The Mer-Crew", Sarah Ingle coins hers the "Queendom", among others.
1102* The concept of this is parodied in [[https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/x-fandom-is-dying-repost-if-youre-a-true-fan "X Fandom Is Dying, Repost If You're a True Fan"]] meme, in which obscure fanbases are given names with [[DoubleEntendre unfortunate double meanings]] (such as Terrorists for ''VideoGame/{{Terraria}}'' fans, or Hoes for people who like [[VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire Hoenn]]).

1104
1105[[folder:Web Video]]
1106* [=YouTube=] chef Creator/AdamRagusea had an early video in which he made fried chicken, both using a traditional buttermilk brine, and an improvised brine made from milk soured with vinegar.

Eventually his channel's logo would become a jar of vinegar, a chicken leg, and a finger pointing to the right, and he would refer to his subscribers as "vinegar legates".

1111* Platform/YouTube Minecrafter WebVideo/CavemanFilms, refers to his fans as 'Dwellers'.

1113* Fans of LetsPlay/TheCreatures are usually referred to as 'Critters' or 'Creature Cats'.
1114** Most members of the group themselves avert this thinking it's silly to name fanbases. [[LetsPlay/UberHaxorNova Nova's]] fans jokingly call themselves the "Anal Army", further mocking it though some fans have now began using the name to legitimately refer to the fanbase.
1115** LetsPlay/SlyFoxHound, plays this straight, calling his fans "Homies".
