Then they aren't a fan. they are dipping a toe in a pond and saying they are swimming. They shouldn't pretend otherwise.

I find it really funny that this is one of the issues you're very strict about. XD What's the matter, noodly, those not-fans contaminating your pool?

They have no business pretending to be fans. You can lie about your gender, your sexual preference, your background, who cares?

but if you are in a fandom, that's the point. You don't lie about that.

What the fuck are you smoking?

Why the fuck would it matter? If you don't like their contributions, don't read/look at them and move on - just like if someone who did watch the source material wrote really shitty fic.

Also, you can be a fan of the fandom. It's entirely possible to like the fanon stuff that's popped up and have no desire to see the source because you already have something you like

What the fuck is this.

You can't be oblivious to the fact that many, many, many fandoms have large fanons that aren't actually very similar to canon. Many people like the fanon and not the canon.

What. The. Fuck. Is. This.

DA

Are you being serious? You can't actually wrap your brain around this concept?

One of my first fandoms was Magnificent Seven. Someone in the fandom created an AU concept with the same characters that brought them forward into the modern day as ATF agents. More and more people started to write in that universe and it eventually became at least as popular if not more so than the canon "Old West" setting.

That might be an extreme version of what the anon you were replying to was talking about, but there's nothing wrong with it. What is with the policing of how people fan in this thread? What if people prefer a version of Merlin without all the terrible writing that happened in canon? What if people enjoy the whole Sentinel/Guide concept that was created in The Sentinel fandom but doesn't actually have a shred of basis in canon? I could go on. tl;dr Let people fan how they want to fan. This "not a real fan" nonsense is ridiculous.

Wow, that's some of the stupidest shit I've seen on the internet in a really long time.

If you like x's fanon and only it's fanon, and have never even tried to watch/read/play X, YOU AREN'T A FAN OF X SO STOP PRETENDING.
