Fan Community Nicknames

aka: Fan Community Nickname

Chris Briggs: What are Bathematicians?
Duncan: Camp Bloodbath fans. It's kind of our awesome nickname.

—The Final Girls

Many fanbases on TV have their own nicknames. Some are generated by themselves, some from observers and some from detractors.

Be 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 Star Trek fandom, a Vocal Minority within the fandom prefer usage of the term "Trekker" and only use "Trekkie" derisively. Likewise, "Whovian" comes primarily from US Public Television — it was originated by, and for some time a trademark of, the Doctor Who 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".

For video games, if a given game has a Prestigious Player Title for the player character, the fan community nickname may be based on that title. E.g players of Azur Lane are called "Commanders" or "Shikikans".

This has really picked up with the introduction of The Internet, because fans can interact with each other on Fora and such. 4chan and its derivatives have a common template for such terms: Just take the name or premise of the show and add "-fag" after it... (e.g. Sonicfags, Pokéfags or Ponyfags) ... as suffixes attributed to their Fan Dumb.

A subtrope of Fan Nickname, but not to be confused with it.

Examples:

Anime & Manga

• 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 Master Race and 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.
• Attack on Titan: The 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.
• Azutard or Daiohtard (Azumanga Daioh)
  • "A proud member of Team Seaslug!" has also been spotted.

Since "Yid" is a slur, there is a lot of debate about whether the nickname is an example of reclamation or tantamount to the New York Mets' fan club being called the "Legion of K**es."
• Toon Army (Newcastle United FC)
• Villans (Aston Villa FC)
• Brazil's football teams have a few 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).
• Fans of Argentina's football teams also have some. For example, Boca Juniors: Bosteros (manure handlers) or Xeneizes (a word from Genoese dialect that refers to people from Genoa^note during Argentina's wave of mass Italian immigration in the early 20th century, many Genoese settled in the club's home of the Boca neighborhood of Buenos Aires), River Plate: Gallinas (hens), Millonarios (Millionaires); Estudiandes: Los Pincharratas (rat stabbers); Gimnasia: Los lobos (the wolves); San Lorenzo: Cuervos (crows); Independiente: Los Diablos Rojos (red devils); Newell's Old Boys: Leprosos (lepers); Rosario Central: Los Guerreros (warriors), Canallas (scoundrels).

• 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.
• 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 for SSC Napoli. Not exactly the most original way to refer to fandoms, but it gets the point across nonetheless.
• Roligans (Denmark national 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 Football Hooligans)
• Tartan Army (Scotland national football team; despite the stereotypes of Scots, and much actual hooliganism in Scottish club football, the Tartan Army is actually pretty close to the Roligans in atmosphere)

Basketball (Women's)

• Libbies (New York Liberty)

Golf

• Arnie's Army (Arnold Palmer)

• Sens Army (Ottawa Senators). There is also a faction of Sens fans who call themselves the Red Scarf Union and all members don red scarves at games.
• Gritizens (Philadelphia Flyers). It's technically more applicable to fans of their mascot Gritty, but hockey fans can't talk about one without inevitably talking about the other.
• Devils Army (New Jersey Devils)
• Krakheads (Seattle Kraken)

Other/Collegiate

• NASCAR has several, with the Junior Nation (Dale Earnhardt Jr.), the Said Heads (part-time driver Boris Said), and the Rainbow Warriors (Jeff Gordon) being the most well known.
• In Formula One, 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).
  • A more recent example would be the "Orange Army", describing the legions of Max Verstappen fans, Orange being the predominant color for Dutch athletes.

• Behold the Nimjarmy, a.k.a. fans of Nimja Hypnosis, Nimja's non-hypno stories, and/or anything related to the fanfic Pokémon × Nimja: Play the Game. 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 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 how much of a nerd he 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.
