I agree that it's redundant, but think the redundancy has value because some people also use "stan" for harmlessly obsessed fans, or even call themselves "stans". Though I wouldn't mind renaming the type to something like "Obsessive Stalker" to remove the redundancy.

Lots of imagination, nowhere to exert it.
Should we add an exclusive form of Fan Dumb called "The Sub Purist" for foreign shows (especially anime)? Seriously, I looked at the Too Long; Didn't Dub page and I am cringing at the lengths that Dragon Ball fans can be such weeaboos, especially when they start calling Dragon Ball "Doragon Booru". Also, to go with the above, we need "The Dub Purist", who simply calls someone a weeaboo for watching subbed anime even if they're not a true weeaboo.

Suggestion: The Bean-Counter. This would describe a fan obsessed with, for instance, television ratings and movie box office returns, i.e. things that nobody but boardroom suits and production company shareholders should be worrying about. They are the sort of people who insist on referring to pieces of art as "properties", who will refer to "lack of franchise potential" as though that is a legitimate criticism of a movie, care more about how many copies a new book sells than whether they like the story or the plot, generally behave as though financial success is a measure of quality and will get into completely earnest arguments about why Giant Corrupt Corporation X should own Amazing-Man instead of Giant Corrupt Corporation Y.
Here's a suggestion for a type of fan dumb: A Sueaphobic, basically a person who gets defensive about any character who even slightly resembles a Mary Sue. Part of the reason it's become a meaningless title
Hide / Show Replies
Something similar to this is mentioned on Hate Dumb under The Hate Monger ("They also use the "Mary Sue" label as a weapon and declare the character they do not like a Mary Sue. It does not matter if the character really is a Mary Sue; nor does it matter if the hate monger has any idea what a Mary Sue is supposed to be — these people have devalued the term").
"Taking these fans too seriously is usually a mistake. Although they tend to be louder than the rest of the fanbase combined, they are usually a decided minority in almost every fandom (though they often claim to be a majority)."
Sure?
Hide / Show Replies
Yes. As a brony and someone that deals with several other fandoms in small doses I can verify that these people tend to be just as disliked within the fandom as out.
Identifying people as this 'trope' is already controversial... A fanbase dominated by them would probably allege the opposite.
"Hello. Casually, tell her that she's died."
A question as to where this would go:
There are several subsets of Fan Dumb, however, I've seen one that seems almost exclusive to video games, but can't seem to figure out where it would go.
I've nicknamed it "Fandom Denial," for the moment, where an absolutely obsessive fan of a video game or game franchise virulently denies being a gamer, claiming it's too "nerdy," and that they are only there for the background story and the philosophy (so related a bit to the Toxic Missionary subset).
A very good example is The Elder Scrolls, with it's oodles of background lore. There was one particularly infamous member of the fandom who seemed at first to be a Toxic Visionary, however when the discussion drifted to how the gameplay mechanics may cause some of the lore "issues," he said something to the effect of "We aren't talking about games. Games are for a special class of nerds who should all be neutered." Leaving aside, for the moment, the irony of someone willing to flame and threaten people over differences in opinion over a fantasy world calling someone else too nerdy, The Elder Scrolls is a game franchise.
The related fandom/hatedom tropes seem so far to be: Toxic Visionary Toxic Missionary Public Medium Ignorance (Games as Art debate) Creator Worship/Death of the Author (Worshipped Michael Kirkbride, all other writers completely ignored).
So, is there space for this in Fan Dumb, does it deserve its own page, what? I'm not sure where to put this, if it goes anywhere at all.

That would be, hm, a theoretical trope by the name of Black Klan Member, a relative of Pretend Prejudice where a person is extremely intolerant and prejudicial of their own identity, and will even try to deny it, even though it's obvious that's what they are.
That would probably have to be proposed on YKTTW to be a real trope. It doesn't really sound like a fandom trope the way you describe it, but more like a kind of trope that can turn into Fan Dumb when used in the right way.
See you in the discussion pages.
If something is 'multi-faceted,' then not everyone is going to like all of it. I'm sure some games are interesting for their world-building or scenery, however the gameplay might seem flawed. Games like Deadly Premonition have some fans who dislike the combat sections. If you mean that people are 'repressing' their own passion, then there are probably other 'tropes' for that already. That needn't be the case, however.
"Hello. Casually, tell her that she's died."
I wonder if it would be possible to add a new category of Fan Dumb.
Sort of the opposite of the Mad Matchmaker, the fans who are convinced that there is no romantic potential in a series, that saying two characters could get together is an insult to the series, and if romantic subplots start to develop, will cry foul and claim that the series is catering to the shippers and/or the series is going downhill. Maybe they had a bad run in with crazy shippers that scarred them, maybe they have a personal reason for hating the word 'love', or maybe they just don't think it goes with the story. But for whatever reason, these people just can't stand the idea of romance developing, no matter how logical or illogical the situation.
In other words, these are the people who apply No Hugs, No Kisses to an extreme.
This doesn't include those who dislike romance in a story - just those who take it upon themselves to crusade against the idea. It's one thing to protest a pairing that popped up three episodes ago involving a new character that is suddenly contemplating marriage with a long running series character; it's another to insult the creator for fleshing out a pairing that's had subtext since the beginning. Or to protest the very existence of fans who enjoy romantic pairings.
We seem to have a lot of groups for fans who believe the series should go a certain way or die - I think we should add a few more classifications for fans who want the story to stay in place and never change.
Hide / Show Replies
People might not associate romance plots with every creative work they like. Not all works are well-placed to attempt romance, either. So there's no real need to call this a negative aspect of fans, especially if they've possible already evaluated the 'pairings' and found them unsuitable. If you claim that they can have logical reasons, perhaps it's not a variant of Fan Dumb?

Another suggestion for a type of fan you meet everywhere you go: the Ignorant Interpretator. Somewhat similar to Everyone is Jesus in Purgatory: A fan who doesn't understand or completely misinterprets the intent of the creator, even if the creator has given clearance about his message or intentions in several interviews. This fan's main problem is usually that he doesn't bother to look stuff up or isn't aware of the context of the work, nor the views of the author. Or, when he IS aware, he just ignores everything that contrasts with his viewpoint. Examples:
- If a work is intended as a criticism of something, the fan will think it's actually a glorification.
- When a work is meant as irony or satire the fan thinks the author literally means it.
- A scene that isn't immediately understandable without historical or cultural context will simply be misinterpreted by the ignoramus, because doing some research is simply too much work when you can just fantasize an interpretation of your own.
- When an author's political, ideological, ethical or religious opinions are widely known from interviews or well sourced biographies the fan will still claim that the creator actually had a very different view of mind that- surprise surprise- is the same as his.

I am wondering if there is the type of the Mad Teacher.
''A Mad Teacher would be a more benevolent, but still stern mixture of the Mad Scholar, The Highbrow and the Old Timer who attempts to guide new members within a community.
He/She but gets angry, if said new members theorise about things, which have already been resolved and come to the wrong conclusion with said theory. His/Her opinium would be, that newbies should do research first before they post something without any thought in the fandom, because it has been done successfully in the past.
What the Mad Teacher wants, is that the new members should utilise the knowledge accumulated in the years by the community for completely new theories, which are not redunant and don't conflict with the canon. Bonus points, if there is even evidence for their theories.
What makes the Mad Teacher sad, is when more and more newbies don't even care about the community's and his/her work.''
Would be this a valid type of a Fan Dumb?

There's also a few cases where people are using them to complain about fans they don't like - particularly on anime and manga pages, where it's usually just a cultural issue about something minor which hasn't gone through cultural translation.
"Did you expect somebody else?"
I might only be saying this because I'm a Theocrat myself, but it seems to me every fan should be either a Theocrat or an Anarchist. I mean, either you accept Word of God or you don't. Why be half-assed about it?

The point is that with works of FICTION, when something exists in a work of fiction that requires an explanation (e.g. a Plot Hole, a Deus ex Machina or a Did Not Do The Research), you can take the WOG explanation but it doesn't mean it's going to add up or make dramatic sense, and if a fan comes up with something better, why not accept that? But if future stories expand upon this thing, then they'll probably go with a WOG explanation, unless a fan explanation gains a LOT of traction.
I originally created this in YKTTW. However upon further reading into this trope I feel it fits more here as a subtrope.
This is a COPY & PASTE of the YKKTW.
Its working title is Flaws Dissonance.
Say the character is poorly written, or there is a noticeable plot hole in the story. Most Fans feel the same about how annoying said flaw is and universally deride it. Most fans however still find things they like and enjoy in the work and still enjoy it even with its flaws.
Wait a minute though, that poorly written character has shown up, or has been mentioned in the story, or that plot hole has been ignored or maybe fixed with a Retcon.
Cue the angry mob attacking the work for the thousandth time.
This happens enough times it can make the flaw in the work easy to overlook in light of how annoying the complainers are.
Note: This only applies when another fan of the work is criticizing it, this does not apply to those, who dislike the work in general, point out its flaws, such as a critic or someone outside its intended audience.

Really? I think the page makes it quite clear that it's just talking about people who go way off the deep-end with their fandom. The write-up repeatedly states that it's not the opinion, it's the way it's being expressed. I don't recall seeing anything about quality or value being mentioned there.

A fan who comes up with a bunch of theories, some more or less probable, others downright insane. When even one of them turns out to be true, they bemoan the creators' lack of creativity and the series' predictability, claiming that they saw it coming miles away. In the rare case that none of the predictions come true, they call Ass Pull or similar, completely refusing to accept evidence to the contrary.

I'm unsure about the meaning of "Hipster Fan". At first I just assumed it was about fans who jump ship when something becomes popular, and indeed, it makes reference to It's Popular, Now It Sucks!. However, the rest of the section seems to be about things that are popular for being well-reviewed. I thought "Hipsters", at least memetically, were more known for liking things for their obscurity, not for their popularity or for being well-reviewed. Does this maybe need a different name?

I have, in various ways and at various times, been Fan Dumb a whole lot. At least, by the standards of the page. I have a whole website about taking what other people made and imagining it *with effort and/or taste*. Then we create fan works based off of that. Now, because of my perspective on the media arts, I may not have the right to say something like this, but shouldn't it be stated in the page that a lot of Fan Dumb characteristics can be YMMV? Because by the way the page handles things, it seems that there's no such thing as error, laziness, or greed in a given work, and therefore, if you want improvement or if you even recreate the original work with a different perspective and improvements in particular areas, and ESPECIALLY if you voice your opinions, then you're automatically Fan Dumb.
There's no such thing as a perfect work, and MOST works are less than ideal. So Fan Dumb depends on the context and the attitude of the person, and Fan Dumb can, at times, be YMMV. This page seems to have an intimidating attitude that all kinds of fans who don't just "smoke a bowl and accept it" are Fan Dumb, and by implied peer pressure it discourages creative and honest alternate opinions and perspectives altogether. That's just not right...

I think we've all been Fan Dumb at some point. The trick is to remember that other fans may not understand your reasons for believing in something. Not to say that your website really is Fan Dumb, considering I've never seen it (sounds interesting, actually), but some people may view it that way. Just like some people see romantically pairing up two people as the bane of creation, while some shippers feel that not seeing the subtext makes you blind.
The specific types of Fan Dub are very subjective, it's true, but the general idea of Fan Dumb - that there are people who take it too far - is not. There are those who get too invested in their beliefs. You can tell who it is when the insults start flying. And yes, not every shipper is a Mad Matchmaker, and not every critic is a Perfectionist, but sometimes people are. That's why this page exists. It's not for the critics, and not for the shippers.
It's for, in a word, the crazies.

Is there a type of fan dumb to describe fans who take tropes like Animation Age Ghetto or What Do You Mean, It's for Kids? a little too far? They'd be the sort that retroactively apply gloomy elements to the children's entertainment they enjoyed in their youth (or even ignore tropes like Parental Bonus or Periphery Demographic and claim that children's media they enjoy are actually not even for kids in the first place) because they're obsessed with the objects of their fandom being taken seriously, or the type that believes "sex and gore" = "mature".

I've never actually met one of these, but I myself tend to follow the belief that children's shows should put enough effort, taste, and intelligence to be enjoyed shamelessly by adults. It's not rare for large family movie producers to do this, but I do wish it were popular enough for people to stop thinking that all child-friendly shows are immature.
On the latter note you spoke about, usually the more blood and gore it has, the more "wannabe mature" it is. It's immaturity trying desperately to be mature but failing at it in an immature way. Usually it's teenagers who do this.
I don't know if there's a name for this in any circles yet, but a distinct variety of fandom that I've found particularly obnoxious for a long time is something I like to call a "Soap Opera Fan in Denial" or, more simply, a "Matchmaker". This is the kind of person who gets antsy about waiting to see when Character A and Character B are finally going to kiss, or hook up, or whatever in spite of how unimportant such a theme is to the series in question. These are people who won't take "It's not a soap opera" for an answer; they get personally offended that Leela and Fry aren't constantly making out and discussing their feelings, they give Resident Evil 5 only a 7 out of 10 strictly because "the potential for drama in the Chris/Sheva/Jill triangle was wasted", and they write lengthy, furious rants about how Harry Potter's first kiss was with Cho. Is the driving force of your TV show a bungling loser who can't get a girlfriend? They DEMAND to see this guy get a steady, boring relationship. Does your book star a male/female team who neither display any romantic interest in each other nor give any reason to believe they would even be a compatible couple? They will send you sternly-worded mail asking "WHEN are they going to admit that they love each other?" Maybe they're voyeurs, maybe they just see themselves in the loser characters too much, maybe they simply share Marge Simpson's knee-jerk "Everyone must be paired up" philosophy; one way or another there is no situation where romance is too frivolous, inappropriate, or even downright creepy for them. And they must be stopped.
This is similar to the kind of person who demands answers to the questions that the author refuses to answer (usually because they are stupid questions): "How does Strong Bad type with boxing gloves on?" "Is Hobbes truly alive, or just a figment of Calvin's imagination?" Is there anything like this anywhere on the site? Because I think it warrents some attention.

I'm putting this here because I don't think it needs to be noted on the main pages, for a reason.
I just read through the types list and I couldn't find one type that I think belongs here. Of course, I should get a second opinion, so here's my short explanation:
This type of fan is one who claims that Super Zombie Robot Wars III is the best in the series despite never having actually played SZRW 3. Often, after SZRW 9 is declared by the rest of the fandom to be the best, this fan will continue to claim that SZRW 3 is far better than SZRW 9. He will occasionally use examples to show why he believes this, but since he has never played SZRW 3, these will invariably be of the It Was His Sled variety. This fan often rants about how They Changed It, Now It Sucks!.
Real-life examples of this would be Final Fantasy fans with FF 7 or Pokemon fans with Gen1 and/or Gen2 games. Not to say that all FF 7 or early Pokemon fans haven't played the games, of course.
