Online Challenge: The Fake Anime Fandom Designed to Expose 'Posers'
A recent viral video on TikTok has introduced a novel concept aimed at testing authenticity within online communities. The creator, known as 'ianburp,' proposed the creation of a completely fictitious anime fandom, named 'Raikou of the Dragons,' featuring a main character called 'Sumiko Kuronami.'The video, set against a backdrop of ASMR slime manipulation, outlines a plan for viewers to discuss this non-existent anime with their friends. The objective, according to the creator, is to identify individuals who falsely claim to have watched the series, thereby exposing them as 'posers.'The creator further encouraged the community to contribute to the lore of 'Raikou of the Dragons' by producing their own videos, adding backstories for characters, and developing unique emoji combinations. This initiative highlights a growing trend of social experiments on digital platforms, prompting discussions about online identity, community engagement, and the prevalence of misinformation.
