heresier

Heresier is a term that emerged within a specific online community, primarily associated with discussions about certain fictional works and the communities that engage with them. It is not a widely recognized or established term in broader academic or cultural discourse. The term "heresier" generally refers to individuals who hold beliefs or express opinions that deviate significantly from the perceived mainstream or orthodox viewpoints within that particular community. These deviations can pertain to interpretations of lore, character analyses, or fan theories.

The use of "heresier" is often informal and can be employed both pejoratively and descriptively. In some contexts, it may be used by those who feel their dissenting opinions are being suppressed or marginalized, reclaiming the term to describe their status as outsiders or critical thinkers. In other instances, it might be used by more established members of a community to label those who are seen as disruptive or holding unpopular, and perhaps unfounded, views. The specific connotations and acceptable usage of "heresier" are highly dependent on the context of the online space where it is employed, and its meaning can be fluid and subject to interpretation.
