Acclaimer is a straightforward agent noun — someone who acclaims, praises loudly, or applauds. It rarely appears in slang contexts and is mostly formal or literary. In modern usage it occasionally surfaces in online fan discourse when someone enthusiastically champions a piece of media or a public figure, though 'stan' or 'hype person' have largely displaced it in casual digital speech.

Why is this section here?

Slang is read by different audiences for very different reasons. The For parents view re-explains the term in plain, non-judgemental language so a caregiver can understand what their child means without needing the surrounding subculture. The For English learners view focuses on register (when it's safe to use), formal alternatives, and common mistakes — what a textbook won't teach you.
