When they find the most minor of issues and make it literally the end of the world

Back when I watched The Flash I got much more entertainment out of the fanbase than I did from the show itself.

I binged all of Game of Thrones to be able to laugh the memes making fun of the last season.

Also almost every video game community that has official eyes on it

They don't have that stigma anymore I think, but this is me with Kingdom Hearts, played everything but 3 and never interacted with the fanbase.

Berserk is my favorite thing of all time. I own every volume up to 21, and 31 to 41. I make all of my first time playthroughs of souls games as a Guts-like character. I own a berserk sweatshirt, and a berserk t-shirt. Im as big of a fan as you can probably get. But man, there are some whackjob right wing psychos in that community. Most fans are fine, and you can have a normal conversation with most, but Berserk has a bad habit to draw weirdos to itself.

I want to have sex with Grifith

He just needs to apologize and offer that bussy up.

I have a friend who is like, "I can fix him, i want that Griffussy."

I like watching Rick and Morty.

I have exactly 0 accessories, paraphernalia, or otherwise branded items in my possession that indicate that.

I feel fairly confident that most people here are aware of how childish, arrogant, and honestly just downright insufferable Rick and morty "fans" can be.

It seems like every time it comes up in conversation, and the other person is a fan, they immediately seem to launch into a tirade about how modern shows are all crap because they're stupid, not like THIS show. It's like the "you have to have a high IQ" meme just became the unironic norm for a lot of people.

It's usually fart jokes and lowest common denominator humor dressed up in Sci fi tropes. You aren't special for understanding highschool introductory phycisal science.

Futurama is arguably the same kind of show, but they know exactly what they are, and the writers actually have well educated backgrounds to make the science stuff a bit less... "VX nozzle on the turboencabulator"-esque

The only time I enjoyed a toxic fan base was for the show Under the Dome. Everyone seemed to hate watch the show and it made the whole thing more fun. The toxicity had the benefit of not being about social issues and just about how the show wasn't high quality writing.

Off the top of my head, one thing people hated is that the main character hurt her leg and wore the bandage over her jeans.

Man, I should rewatch that show.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Oh yeah, I was there for that! Good times! 😂

“So bad, it’s dome.” —Was the catch phrase I remember online.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

I dont play Rust anymore but I still watch rust youtubers out of a morbid fascination of how they start out fun and wholesome, then they get tired and burned out, then they become the same angry, toxic sweaties they disliked in the first place.

Im pretty sure Rust has become a sentient tulpa demon that feeds on toxic rage.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

Under the Dome has always been super interesting to me because Brian K. Vaughn is one of the best comic book writers of all time and a consistent criticism of UTD is how bad the writing is. I know he didn't write many of the episodes, though, but I also wonder how his episodes rank in comparison with the others.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

I kinda had a similar experience with the walking dead. While my enjoyment of the show plummeted to a point where I didn't even bother to watch the last like 3 or 4 seasons, I still regularly checked community spaces to see everyone dunk on it.

Maybe the jean was hurt too

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Sound advice. I'll be sure not to cause self-harm by learning anything about the other people who listen to my cherished podcasts.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago

I really miss my podcast subreddits. It is the only part of Reddit miss.

Undertale is a great game.

...too bad about the fans.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

I will not touch undertale or deltarune with a 10 foot rusty pole due to my exposure to collective fanbase before either game came out. I'm sure they are fine games in their own right but the community has just mentally ruined any desire I had for them long before I would have been able to get them and try them on my own.

I'm so glad I found Portal before I interacted with that community.

Try liking sonic the hedgehog games. The characters are all children but the fandom does not care.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

My favorite Sonic character is the pregnant one

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

Nonsense, they can't all be your favourite.
