14 Kinds of JAV Fans You've Definitely Come Across
JAV is a community made up of people from all walks of life. So it's just natural that we would come across some characters who, for some reason, would pop up in the forums and comments sections of our favorite websites. So we made a tongue-in-cheek list of some of these fellow JAV fans. Nothing serious, so let's be chill in the comments, alright?
The Newbie
The Newbie has just woken up from the Matrix, eager to explore the real world. The Newbie will most likely first encounter the established names, the most popular actresses and videos, and will thoroughly like what they see. Thus starts their JAV journey. Most newbies will probably go crazy over Yua Mikami, Shoko Takahashi, or some other "mainstream" actresses. They are also the ones who constantly ask "who" and "what code" and are yet to discover the magic of Google reverse image search.
We were all newbies, jacking off to 5-minute clips of random Japanese actresses on some sleazy tube site. But that is the start of a quick descent into the rabbit hole.
"Why the hell did this Japanese chick choose to be a pornstar? She could be a model," says the newbie while watching SSIS-287
The Virgin
The Virgin likes everything that has a pussy on it, whoever it is attached to. Like the newbie, JAV will blow his mind. But s/he will most likely ask naive questions, such as "b-but girls do not really squirt, it's just pee, isn't it?", tell sob stories about their minuscule interaction with actual girls, or make borderline sexist remarks about women in general. We can't blame them for their lack of knowledge about sex. Just seeing the word 'sassy' is enough to make them go hard because it reminds them of Nao Jinjuji's ass. Let's just hope they wouldn't think that JAV is an accurate representation of how the world works.

The Casual Watcher
The Casual Watcher has a bit of free time, so s/he heads to the most popular porn sites. He's the same guy in a forum or a party who says he loves "Asians" and would like to have one for a wife. The Casual Watcher doesn't know a lot of the actresses' names, and couldn't care less.
The Casual Watcher has great room for improvement though. S/he can stay a Casual Watcher all his life if they are stuck doing two or more jobs with no time on their hands or in a place with a bad internet connection. But they also hone their inner beast and become a Loyalist, a Savant, or even Fetish Freak.
"It's hot as fuck, but why do they censor the good bits? Goddamit these Japanese freaks!" the Casual Watcher complains while watching Melody Marks get filled with Jap jizz
The Nostalgic
Let's be real, most of us older JAV fans tend to look at our past with rose-tinted glasses. Nothing beats the first ones, right? The Nostalgic, however, has turned his nostalgia into a personality. S/he claims to like the "classics" and the "greats", but also says modern JAV sucks. They also claim that they are lucky to have seen "the golden age" of JAV, which means the time before idol-tier actresses and high definition video - which, to be fair, has its merits. Modern JAV is a lot less adventurous and is plagued by the epidemic of fake jizz.
The Nostalgic can only get off to a particular set of videos, particularly the first videos s/he has seen in the early days, regardless of how shitty its quality is.
We're not here to bash them, because they also can give valuable insights into the industry's forgotten treasures. The Nostalgic holds the fort to preserve the most important relics, keeping them relevant and alive in the present generation.
"I'm telling you, bro, RCT-168 is the best JAV video in the world, it has fucking Maria Ozawa on it, bro, please watch it, bro, I'm begging you."
The Gigantic Tits Guy
Everybody loves a good pair of tits, but some simply like the the way, way bigger. These unabashed oppai lovers keep the genre alive.
Panking made a well-received list on the top ten big tits in JAV, and another list on the top big tits in JAV right now.
There is some division among tits lovers about the fake tits, as well as what qualifies as a 'gigantic' set of breasts. The aesthetics of tits can be long philosophical discussion, but the Gigantic Tits Guy's standards are simple. The bigger the tits, the harder their boners get.
The Gigantic Tits guy was shedding tears as he watches Hitomi's retirement video. "End of an era," he says as he reaches for a Kleenex.
The Ass-guy
The Ass-guy is the kind of person who you'd casually hear in a public setting proudly proclaiming to the world, "you know, I'm quite of an ass guy myself." Thinking that the ass vs tits meme debate is a socially acceptable ice breaker in any conversation, the Ass-guy has no shame about his desires. We don't judge though.
There are various other schools of thought under the Ass-guy category, such as those who love wide hips, those who love thick fat ass cheeks, firm bubble butts, etc. The JAV industry, fortunately, has them in all shapes and sizes.
"DAT ASS!" the Ass-guy raves as he salivates on the outline of Yuu Shinoda's godly hips
The Debut Hunter
Always on the hunt for some fresh meat, the Debut Hunters couldn't get off anything else. They would watch any JAV video given to them, but they say "there is always something about debuts.. " and hopes that it didn't come off as creepy as it sounded. The Debut Hunters love watching doe-eyed neophytes flinch during their first contact, and return their first reluctant kiss, before letting out their tongue, heart, and soul into the lucky actor that got the first bite.
"I only watch debuts," says the Debut Hunter, again. "Everything else is inauthentic."
They're in luck given how many debuts come out everyday.
"This was the only Takasho movie I watched," says the Debut Hunter. "Everything else sucks."
The Hardcore Psycho
At the other end of the spectrum are those who avoid debuts, saying that they are fake and they prefer the "real and raw" stuff. The Hardcore Psycho complains that a particular video is "too soft" because it doesn't feature the actress bawling her eyes out or getting her clothes ripped to shreds. Ropes, dungeon sets, huge metal contraptions, hardcore deep throat, etc are their cup of tea. There is something about seeing pain and discomfort on screen that lights them up and makes their day.
There are different shades in this spectrum, but it's undeniable that they have become a staple in the industry. Studios like Dogma and Attackers would be bankcrupt without them.
"What a time to be alive, to see women get degraded like that for our pleasure," says the Hardcore Psycho as she watches Riku Minato get manhandled.
The Fetish Freak
Related to the Hardcore Psycho, the Fetish Freak is done with sex and penetration. All s/he wants is getting his or her fantasy fulfilled. It may be something as common as feet or armpits, or something specific as cumming on hair, jizz on food, or a certain outfit or act. However, unlike the Hardcore Pscyho, the Fetish Freak is not particularly sadistic. Nonetheless, it goes without saying that there are people who fall under these two categories.
You'd often see them crop up in forums, saying, "that video is good, but I wished she did ______. Please actress-san, do ______ !" The need is almost unbearable for the Fetish Freak; s/he couldn't get excited by anything other than their preferred perversion. Luckily, the industry embraces them like a loving mum to its needy brat.
"This is not illegal, right?", the Fetish Freak wonders as she watches Risa Onodera and Yuri Asada feast on semen-laced cold cuts.
The Loyalist
You'd think that given the huge number of new talents that come in every day, fans would get easily tired of their chosen waifus. But there definitely are fans who would stick with their JAV goddesses through thick and thin. The Loyalists would rave over new social media posts, rumors, and every merch that their idols put out. Some, naturally, would become stalkers.
They can never tolerate any hate directed at their idols, and some would resort to impish name-calling. But let's give them the credit for keeping the industry's cash flow steady.
Nana Ogura has some of the most loyal fans, some of which still follow her personal Instagram, hoping for any update on her private life.
The Loyalists are basically JAV cheer leaders, who constantly pep their waifus especially when they express some negative thought on social media or, god forbid, say that they are retiring. Some might say they are pushy and a bit creepy, but no, they simply love their idols. It's just further proof that the JAV industry is not a cold-blooded endeavor, and people here develop deep emotions - aside from being horny, of course.
The VR Troopers
They've just bought a VR set and their favorite actress' VR video, and it blew their minds. And they couldn't stop talking about it. Everyone else are left wondering how much of a hassle plugging in a VR set and setting it up is just to jack off. Not to mention the possibility that you may have left a pot cooking on the stove and you'd be caught in a fire with your cock on your hand.
But VR porn is the future, and we wish VR JAV would become a lot more engaging in terms of plot, fetishes, and scenarios. Maybe the VR Troopers are onto something.

The JAV Savant
The Savant is a true JAV expert. An historian, critic, rumor-monger, and data analysts rolled into one, the Savant follows the industry from above with a watchful eye. May it be multiple fan forums, daily sales rankings, the rumor mill, and even Japanese politics, the Savant has it by the pulse.
It would not be surprising if s/he watches JAV almost exclusively, so if you show him or her a picture or even a code, expect that s/he can identify it.
To further deepen his or her insights, the Savant will study the Japanese language or already knows how to speak Japanese, and thus will feel obliged to give the sharpest takes.
But the Savant also blesses us with invaluable knowledge on the industry's hidden gems, allowing Virgins and Casual Watchers to dig deeper. Despite their cold, intellectual facades, they love JAV with all their heart.
The Weirdo
It's difficult to ascertain what's happening inside the Weirdo's head. S/he heads to the comments to drops the wildest and most random blocks of text for all to see. These includes references to religion, national politics, or their jumbled thoughts as they jack off, one hand in their cocks or pussy while the other types out their undecipherable word salad.
Like the Virgin, the Weirdo's mind is blown by the sheer sexiness that they are witnessing on screen. It's making them lose their minds. But unlike the virgin, the Weirdo feels an uncontrollable urge to spill out his guts into the virtual world. Weirdos out there, we love you, but do take care of yourselves. Take a shower every now and then.
The Females
A large portion of people who watch JAV are men, and it's expected since most JAV out there is made with a male audience in mind. But there are definitely women out there who watch JAV. They know every depravity that the males are onto, so nothing shocks them anymore.

Comments
I'm definitely a cross between gigantic tits guy and savant. Hitomi's been my unquestionable favourite for the past decade so that handles the first part. Then if you've seen how much data analysis I actually do, you'd call me a savant.
The kind of fan I miss on this list (although it may be a trait not contained to a single type) is the thief, who doesn't see the need / doesn't understand why they should pay for what they watch.
