Well, seems a good time to clarify and reiterate my position, since so often people just make assumptions and go from there;
"Anyone that doesn't like the idea of a reboot."
I have no nickname for these people. They are a wide range of fans with a wide range of opinions on the matter. I disagree with most, as I don't think judging a movie prior to seeing it makes sense. But c'est la vie, it's their opinion. These people are all over Proton Charging.
"Haters"
These are the fans who want to repeat their opinion constantly. Bit of a grey overlap with the wider pool of fans that aren't happy, but at the other end it's guys beaking off at every opportunity ad nauseum. Mostly they roam free on PC, but due to their constant complaints they tend to get challenged a lot, which they chalk up to their opinion and not how they're sharing it. Forcefully on an audience that's heard it already.
"Peckers"
This is a new one. It does not apply to unhappy fans in general. It can be applied to the most egregious of the haters, but mostly because at that point they become exactly whom the term is aimed at; those that want to cause havoc and distress. Like, say, a guy that DMs me to tell me I'm a paid shill and I'll die from diabetes.
Now, if you don't like the term Pecker, relax. It's probably not aimed at you. If you want to be upset about it on behalf of the people calling Paul Feig a f** on Twitter, or calling Troy a poseur, or using Patton Oswalt's recently deceased wife to hurt him, well, that's your hill to die on if you so choose. I wouldn't.
But I'll meet you there if you want.
PS I'm not Troy's sock-puppet on Twitter. He's totally mine.
