Popfanaticultionism /ˌpɒp.fəˌnætɪˈkʌl.ʃəˌnɪzəm/ (noun) is a psychological condition in which an individual develops an extreme, group-influenced obsession—either admiration or hatred—toward an author or writer. This condition arises when people, often as part of an online or real-world community, lose individual reasoning and adopt a collective emotional response toward an author’s work, personal life, or public opinions. Those affected by popfanaticultionism engage in behaviors such as blind idolization, aggressive defense against criticism, mass harassment, or organized attempts to discredit and "cancel" a writer. Their actions are primarily driven by the influence of fan groups, literary circles, or social media communities that reinforce a singular, often exaggerated, perspective.
