The Loud House Fandom, it's actually that bad. Watch Jax's video on it if you want to know why I despise it so much. (I actually enjoy the Show, I just want to clear this out.)
I like the show too(and it's live-action spin-off Really Loud House) and some of the fanfics but I don't want to engage with the fans much.
I also like the show, but I don't wanna watch the live action one
Less so fandoms, and moreso any sort of "hipsters" gatekeeping certain fan communities. Like those atrocious individuals who faint at the thought of watching a "normie movie" and act super pretentious about watching every single movie of a director's catalogue/filmography and also saying you aren't a "real fan" if you haven't seen _____ by them. Or like, for a certain medium or genre of movie, and saying, "you're not a real fan if you haven't seen ______." "How can you say you like ____ BUT you haven't seen _____?" Yes, I like animation, no, it doesn't mean I have watched that Spanish movie from last year, and I'm no less a fan of animation, thank you.
Ditto for certain indie game fan communities. Yes, you can enjoy Skullgirls AND Street Fighter, and not be a "sellout."
AND same for anime/manga, you can still call yourself a fan of a series if you've enjoyed ALL of the light novels, manga, anime, games, and anime movies, OR have just watched the TV anime.

Yeah I can't stand people who get all high and mighty and say you have bad taste in movies if you dare to admit to say unironically enjoying Michael Bay's Transformers films or the Snyder-verse DCEU(or Rebel Moon apparently).
I've also found fanbases for certain celebrities insufferable, they act like they can do no wrong and are toxic to everyone else and screech like spoiled brats if you dare to call them out on it, found that out with fans of soccer player Ali Krieger, oh you should've seen all disgusting rumors they spread about Ashlynn Harris cheating on her with Sophia Bush(and they accused her of cheating on Grant even after he himself dispelled those bullshit rumors)and don't get me started on fans of Alexa Nicholas, they won't hear a word of criticism against her and will mindlessly attack anyone they even slightly perceive as disagreeing with her on anything(if anyone wants to know the drama there PM me, I originally wrote a long paragraph detailing my issues with her but thought it best to not post it here).
The GoAnimate fandom is one I don't like in my opinion. I used to be part of the fanbase until I lost interest and left, and I wished I haven't joined at all. They have an extreme hate thing towards preschool shows and love to demonize them. They also make sadistic animated videos against the characters they hate (such as grounded and punishment day videos). I'm fine with people not liking and/or not seeing the appeal of preschool shows (especially ones I like), but I just don't like the GoAnimate fandom in general because they give normal people that don't like preschool shows a bad name. I also don't like the toxic cartoon, anime, and "Thomas and Friends" fandoms either, even though I like the topics in general.

The live-action show looks like it came from the land of Dan Schneider & it looks awful. I watched a couple of clips of it & I felt like I was getting fed fart-o-beans. Absolute cringe.
But hey, at least it ain't the Annoying Orange getting another TV show because that Cartoon Network show was already enough of an abomination as it was & forever will be.
Speaking of which, the Annoying Orange fanbase is trend purgatory.

The Thomas and Friends fandom I know of a little bit, particularly Dogseatingdogs 6(one of those hilariously bad channels who screams constantly) & The Unlucky Tug(a channel that does amazing videos), but the Go!Animate fandom takes me back to my childhood. I used to watch that slop for a while before I decided to just... stop. I eventually sorta decided to look back at it & see just how ridiculous & stupid the Go!Animate fandom truly is.

I was sadly in the goanimate community when i was 8-10 but however after that i wasn't intersted and deleted all of the videos that i made of them (witch were rants and salutes with tts voice) Littearly there's a guy who has made about 200 grounding videos with no effort and most of them have paw patrol (especially chase) getting grounded. I also wish i was never in that community and watching those kinds of videos makes me cringe.
Anime fans are probably the worse. I am not talking about people who like one or two shows, I am talking about the otaku/weeaboo types who are in a fandom bubble. For some reason, they tend to be the most chronically online, out of touch, racist, sexist, and creepy perverts there are. And I remember a lot of them infesting the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic fandom back in the day, which lead to me leaving it.
THIS. FREAKIN' THIS. These weaboos can just show up ANYWHERE & can ruin a normal anime fan's day. Kenny Lauderdale likely hates these guys as well considering he's more of an oldie while weaboos tend to not go to anything before the 90s unless it's Dragon Ball or occasionally Fist of the North Star. They'd be saying how Japan is this place where "wokeness from the West" has never infected all they want, when in reality a lot of Japanese media from back in the 50s to even today & even WAY back when ARE American influenced in several ways. They may still have that classic Japanese feel, but the American influence is still VERY visible. LGBT+ characters, different races, women in powerful roles, among other "Western" values exist in Japanese media throughout if you look hard enough... or sometimes you don't even NEED to because you know, SAILOR MOON EXISTS. I bet ya' if they ever see who Sailor Uranus & Sailor Neptune are, they would spaz out.
Makes me glad that most of them have likely never heard of Akazukin ChaCha because that's like, MY FAVORITE ANIME EVER. Nothing can outweigh Akazukin ChaCha in terms of how much of an influence it was on me as a person. It's more or less one of the reasons why I am still around today.
Ironically, ChaCha's message is similar to that of Steven Universe's message lmao.

Any indie animation that really gets rolling online. I’ve seen promising, talented animation artists get steamrolled online over niche things in their work. When something becomes popular, every single action and detail is criticized and bastardized. It sucks seeing something of great quality being ripped to shreds by narcissistic and toxic fans.
-Adam
Not exactly trying to defend the people who do this, but to be fair, there’s also an equal amount of people in some of those fanbases like HH/HB who are the exact opposite of who you describe: they cannot handle the slightest ounce of criticism, regardless if it’s in a narcissistic or toxic manner, or if you genuinely mean well.
These fans aren’t exactly normal toxic, so much as “Toxic Positivity.” They’ll accept anything that Vivziepop releases even if it’s unbelievably terrible. Even Viv herself cannot handle criticism well, and that’s obviously not a good thing.

As someone who really likes Schneider's shows i consider that a good thing, it's actually a pretty good show if you give it a chance, i'm actually liking it more then the animated series right now(which has a bad habit of making the mom and dad into bad parents)it's not actually "Cringe" at al.

Hatedoms in general can be really bizarre, especially for things that are clearly aimed at fans, or very specific audiences. It's like watching a gorey horror movie and complaining that it was WAY too gorey and bloody and icky and...
"Why would anyone ever watch something that makes a person (like me) physically sick? Why do they even make movies like this?"
Like, what did you expect?
Same reason I don't really get especially angry at something like another Despicable Me movie coming out this year the way certain internet netizens (and tagalong hatedom buddies) do. Am I particularly thrilled that another dishwater plain, milquetoast, uncreative movie in a franchise long devoid of any heart or energy (IMO) has been made? No.
Am I going to watch it in theaters? 99% nope.
But will I rant passionately about it on my social media like it's supposed to be the same quality as the 1994 Lion King? Will I yell and scare all the grandmothers at the theater taking their 6 year old grandchildren to see it? Will I crap on the mothers on my FB wall who talk about having a fun time at the movies with their 7 year olds? 100% NOPE.

Not exactly a fandom, but on this note, the "fandom" of stupid Western "red pilled" guys who go overseas to find "traditional women" in cultures away from "yucky woke ungodly atheist feminazis who are all hypergamous anyway" but then go to places where things like HIGH rates of marital cheating are considered "perfectly traditional" (see: Japan and Thailand according to studies). Watching these men later cry their eyes out on forums when they inevitably wake up to this ("But..but...I thought I got away from Western fatherless behavior! A true 'good girl' would NEVER be comfortable with cheating!!!! Ever!!!") are like fresh foundation soda to my soul
TRADITIONAL WESTERN VALUES ARE NOT THE SAME AS TRADITIONAL EASTERN VALUES. People in Japan or Thailand will really not care that "BUT BUT...Jebus said that adultery is a gross, depraved sin of gross, depraved girls!!!!" Maybe a Western cultured girl might feel shame, but don't except the same from an Eastern cultured girl. Because that may not matter in their culture as much as keeping up status and appearances. CULTURES ARE DIFFERENT, what is traditional in one culture may or may not be traditional in another. It's like they think that the only source of "tradition" are damn Judeo-Christian morals which are only really things in the Western and heavily Westernized world.
The Loud House Fandom, it's actually that bad. Watch Jax's video on it if you want to know why I despise it so much. (I actually enjoy the Show, I just want to clear this out.)
Oh yeah I forgot to mention them too. Do we count The Casagrandes as well?
In my opinion, The Casagrandes fanbase (although weird from what I can recall) weren't as bad as the Loud House fanbase. Don't get me wrong, it's kinda bad but I wouldn't personally say it is as bad as the fans as the main show's fanbase from what I personally seen and recalled.

Or he ends up with "traditional" In-Laws who hates his guts because he's not the same nationality as the rest of the family.
I knew someone who dated a Korean girl and her mother hated him because he wasn't Korean. The mother also was a third wheel during their dates.
