Class relates to the categorisation of people into groups based on socioeconomic factors. It can be defined through multiple different lenses, though in the context of fandom is often used in references to someone being working class, middle class, or upper class.

Class and classism can intersect with fandom through various means:

  • The class demographics of fans and the impact on wider fandom
  • The representation of class in fanworks
  • The representation of class in the source texts themselves and the responses of fans
