Stan culture[edit]

Not a formal move request but this should be moved to Stan culture. Stan culture is the wider umbrella which comprises, but is not limited to, stan twitter, r/popheads, and ATRL etc.--NØ 16:25, 22 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

MaranoFan, agreed. It should be refocused on the broader phenomenon. Ganesha811 (talk) 02:38, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Examples of stan culture[edit]

I really don't think one Guardian article is enough to back up the claim that Judy Garland is a significant figure in stan culture. Personally, I have never seen anyone stan her on Twitter. I believe some more appropriate examples would be Nicki Minaj and Rihanna. Minaj helped shape this whole culture since the beginning of her career and should definitely be credited since she also still has one of the biggest and most active fanbases.[1][2] Gimleey2 (talk) 17:09, 22 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This is very false and incorrect information.

These terminologies comes from black gay and blackneomen culture. Most of this is African American vernacular and you need to make these changes and give credit when credit is due. Whoever wrote this is erasing an entire communities language that has been used for decades before white and non black twitter decided it was “stan language” when it’s nothing but black people language being taking for granted. Give credit where it’s due. Ball room black culture, black southern dialect and black women.

Wig Sis Snatched Shade “Locals” And much more that you listed comes from gay BLACK BALLROOM CULTURE. Make sure when you write you fucking be accurate in your information. *reported* AkiraJohnson 1 (talk) 01:01, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Also, at the fact that you listed and did not show not a single black woman frustrates the fuck outta me. Please AkiraJohnson 1 (talk) 01:06, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Terminology[edit]

Can the “slang” section please be edited by prefacing that Stan Twitter consistently uses AAVE and the slang of LGBT communities as if it were their own terminology? Please give these groups their due credit and do not lead people to think that locals of the 21st century made up so many foundational phrases of the online world. Thank you. 365sofresh (talk) 22:07, 23 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Not agreeing or disagreeing with the changes you suggested but you'll need to cite sources if you want them made on the article.--NØ 15:06, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

History[edit]

It is seriously disgusting that these words are being rebranded as "Stan Twitter Language" when most of them are AAVE and QAAVE. This article needs to either be deleted, or completely rewritten so credit can be given to the people who actually created these terms. Stop stealing from black culture and claiming it's yours.

"Dream stans"[edit]

@MaranoFan: Throughout 2021, "stans" of eponymous YouTuber Dream, known as "Dream stans", have been a notorious epidemic of "snowflakes" who have supposedly sent death threats to those who made even the slightest criticism of the YouTuber. Another YouTuber, Cr1TiKaL, spoke out about these "stans" due to their notorious behavior. I'd like to include it in this article, but I don't want it to sound potentially libelous or harmful. Here are two links to an article about "Dream stans".[1][2] L33tm4n (talk) 14:09, 27 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

“tw” and “cw” aren’t exclusive to Stan Twitter[edit]

The terms mean trigger warning and content warning respectively, and while it has been used by people within Stan twitter, many other people uninvolved within Stan twitter use the term generally for sensitive videos and media. 129.126.39.19 (talk) 01:41, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Types of memes[edit]

memes on stan Twitter have a very specific style, and they are often unrelated to the celebrities whose images they use for said memes. the memes/videos are often akin to "shit posts". JointCompound (talk) 06:32, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
