You know what we're talking about here. The condescending Doctor Who fan will probably be the most familiar to you, as that one person who is always the first to correct you if you make an innocent mistake, or get the most simple fact about the Whoniverse wrong. You're only human, after all. These fans, evidently, are not. They're a rare hybrid of super Doctor Who fan, apparently, the fountain of all Whovian knowledge who are so in the know when it comes to all things Time Lord that they actually think they have the right to put other fans down. Comments such as, "It wasn't Season 26, Episode 3, actually. It was Season 26, Episode 4" will no doubt bring back painful memories if you've ever encountered one of these guys when they're having a bad day. Hell, even encountering them when they're having a good day is scary enough. Most active on social media, it's best not to engage in conversation with one if they pop up in your mentions, as the chances are they're just looking for a fight anyway. They're just douchebags at the end of the day.
