Fanfiction is a good one. I always like seeing fanfiction outside its ghetto, where it never occurs to anyone to call it that.
I helped pre-read a Library of Babel My Little Pony crossover fanfic. I noticed that Wikipedia had a section that filled most of a page listing Library of Babel fanfiction without ever referring to it as such.
And I might as well mention, Alicorn wrote a short story called Earthfic where stories taking place in the real world had such a ghetto. I’m pretty sure it was just making fun of the fanfiction ghetto, but it applies pretty much as well to all of them.
I don’t know how many people here suffer from this, but the Animation Age Ghetto, the SciFi Ghetto, and other examples of Public Medium Ignorance are really hard to get people to look past.

Yes. That just means more interesting pop culture for the rest of us.
