self-deprecating usage
[[Shippers]] in any fandom may be called tinhats, though it's mainly used for partisans of celebrities, such as those who believe in romance between actors Dan Radcliffe and Emma Watson, of Harry Potter movie series (rather than for character pairings).

RPF shippers sometimes use the tinhat terminology ironically or self-deprecatingly; when they are [[squee|squeeing]] especially loudly over some piece of celebrity gossip, they may [[emote]] ''*dons tinhat*'' or ''*polishes tinhat*''. They seldom mean that they really believe that their preferred OTP is a couple in real life.
