Sonic the Hedgehog fanboy over here. However I don’t follow the fandom. Those guys are animals.
Sonic the Hedgehog
Those guys are animals.
Literally!
Doctor Who. It’s a television show, you dorks. Stop making television shows part of your personality.
Roblox. Easiet pick of my life, Gods save us all
Minecraft community. Love the game. Community turned into a bunch of toxic self-righteous a-holes. I had the displeasure of hosting a pvp server. Most people were alright but it only took a charismatic unemployed 20+ year old to rally half the server against the owner because we wouldn’t ban their enemies from the server.
And the wider community that just whine that not every update is the Nether Update or Caves and Cliffs. Mojang messed up with 1.19, but it’s not that big of a deal and they seemed to have learned their lesson. (except for chat reports… Eugh) The Minecraft movie actually looks fun, just had a bad first trailer. So what if it fails. It won’t impact my enjoyment of the game. You can’t really add too much onto Minecraft because you can easily screw up the game. For example, using fireworks to boost elytra was a small feature in a pretty minor update, but I think it was one of the worse decisions, as it ruined any incentive for transport infrastructure.
The Modded Minecraft community is a lot friendlier.
This was a modded server
I got way way too into fantasy football. I didn’t have a dangerous amount of money invested in it (this was before DraftKings and the rise of addictive gambling apps), but I had like 5 teams and spent endless amounts of time trying to predict who would score points every week, reading stats and articles, and would watch football all day Sunday, and Monday and Thursday nights, as well as highlight shows and analysis.
At some point I just said “What am I doing?” and reclaimed my time. It felt great. No regerts. I don’t even watch football anymore.
All of them.
Anime.
An invitation for a free lunch that turned out to be a multi level marketing presentation for timeshares.
supernatural, on Tumblr.
I’d say anime would get pretty toxic, just the sheer brainrot of moeshit seasonal trash watchers always seemed to burrow it’s way into every legitimately normal and civil discussion for a piece of media, everything was simping and shipping and very porn-brained in an extremely off-putting way.
It was all nauseating, I just liked cool weird foreign basket-weaving cartoons man it wasn’t this like, lifestyle or something that some people seem to live or a whole personality.
I’ll forever remember Juzoboys back in the day on /a/ but I’m so out and never coming back. At least I was there to say NEVER EVER for the last time when the first Kizu movie got announced.
I like anime, I don’t watch it much these days in lieu of manga and Manwha but I am planning to watch a few new titles that I would enjoy, like blue lock
Nothing ruins anime more than talking to people who enjoy the worst aspects of it, but even then I feel lonely with having no one to discuss with
I love Rick and Morty. And to be fair the whole Justin Roland schism got rid of a lot of toxic fans. Just not all.
I’m not gonna hate on any season. They’ve all been half filler and half Harmon confessing his sins, and most of them have been roughly entertaining for the most part. Even the meta shit is roughly entertaining.
This is mine too.
I disconnected from R&M after the toxic fans went psycho over Schezwan sauce. There was some news blip that happened not long before that intelligent people tend to have a dark sense of humor, and it’s like it made the worst of the worst decide that they must be super geniuses if they teabag someone in CS:GO after they kill them.
Probably the Roosterteeth community. Their content pretty much defined almost a decade of my life but the community was composed of some of the most toxic people I’ve ever encountered online.
Also, it’s not a fandom but I used to browse an unhealthy amount of 4chan up to ~2017. Very strange crowd there
Tales from the Stinky Dragon is also awesome and a new Roosterteeth endeavor!
I need to catch up on it! I’m like months behind at this point.
A lot of the old groups are still making content. Shoutouts to Bruce Greene and Lawrence (and KassemG) from Funhaus/Inside Gaming are doing a letsplay channel called BroughtYouThisThing, it’s probably the only reason I get on YouTube at all anymore.
Astrogoblin is also pretty good, it’s Jacob/Patrick/Charlotte (and occasional Ryan Hailey visits)
Very thankful for the untold number of hours of Funhaus I watched. Very thankful I never got too into the Fandom.
Ohio State football fans are notoriously whiny, spoiled assholes.
Star Wars. No one hates Star Wars more than a Star Wars fan. I actively avoid other Star Wars fans.
I’m a Star Wars fan and enjoy it all. The most disappointing watch for me was Book of Boba Fett because it wasn’t how I thought his character would do things. However, it still entertained me.
It was different from what I imagined too, but I still enjoyed it a lot.
I’d consider myself a Star Wars fan, and one of the things that gets me about the current state of fandom is how opposed to nuance it is. Having measured opinions about things is right out; you need to decide if you’re going to LOVE or HATE a thing, and if you don’t then you’re not welcome.
From what I can tell, you have to love the b Mandolorian and Andor unconditionally, and hate everything else from Disney.
I personally have enjoyed everything, some more than others. But it was all good.

It was a comedic toxic shithole. RIP
I was peripheral to it as a Ron and Fez fan. Good lord that place was awful. Rest in piss.
No place made me laugh as audibly.
Just mean for almost no reason, making references to shows 12 years ago while trolling these c to d list celebrities. Total cesspit
Loved Ron and fez too.
Member that time they tricked news outlets during the nice terror attack?
I miss Ted Sheckler and his many emporiums.
