What Fandoms do you HATE

Well not every kid was like you, they were legit helpful for some kids.

There are really three fandoms that I've had personal contact with that I can speak about from experience.

For one, Harry Potter. I've posted elsewhere on this site about my experiences interacting with some of its members. I have personally found it to be very toxic.

Also, band or singer fandoms weird me out. Right now, I am so sick of hearing about Taylor Swift, I could scream. The fandom right now seems almost cultlike to me. 

One more for good measure (and I'm gonna call my past self out on this one): Rise of the Brave Tangled Dragons. (You know, that weird Tumblr crossover from the 2010s?) I was a ride-or-die ROTBTD fan back when it was at its peak, so I was deep in the trenches. I came to it from the HTTYD fandom (or How to Train Your Dragon, for those who aren't in the know), and boy, howdy, did discovering the endless possibilities of this crossover change my brain chemistry for most of my pre-teen/teen years. 😅 However, the deeper I dove, the more toxic and overwhelming the fandom became in my life. Both HTTYD and ROTBTD completely CONTROLLED me for about 7 years, to the point that my obsession broke my social life and led me to some toxic personal friendships at a time when I really needed better influences in my life. I left both fandoms (and fandom in general) around 2020, and they still haunt me to this day.

Speaking from experience, there are some corners of the ROTBTD fandom that I wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole. Stay FAR, far away from the ships. It's a bloody, ugly battlefield if you have any hot takes or are a purist, like me. Also, some of the AUs are freaking WILD.

(By the way, I don't mean to judge anyone or insult someone's interests when I talk about these. I apologize if what I say offends. It truly is not intentional. I am simply attempting to share my experiences and I have a lot of... feelings. 😬 Again, very sorry if I speak bluntly.)

I find Kanye West's fanbase to be FAR more toxic and cultlike compared to Taylor's(not to mention incredibly bigoted). Normally I would be tired of hearing about Swift but hearing that she's triggering conservatives and alt-right dipshits makes me live for announcements of anything regarding her just cause I know it's making the worst kinds of people butthurt LOL

HP fanbase used to be fine until JKR came out as a transphobe, then there was an ugly split in the community where bigots outed themselves and made themselves known(you saw especially a lot of that in the sake of Hogwarts Legacy).

Yeah there was an obscure show years ago covered by Youtuber Hazel called like "America's greatest otaku/anime fan" and she posed the question: "but how can you just define a nerdy anime fan, considering it can come down to how much anime goods you can buy, how much stuff you can purchase?" She basically said it becomes super elitist and consumerist and not necessarily the reflection of a "true otaku."

As a Sonic Fan there is nothing more to say. I know what the fandom is like without being like them and being a fan at the same time.

MHA, god awful fandom. I think what has marked me the most was the ''todoroni and cheese'' audio, absolutely vile 

Yeah. That kind of shit is what i happens when some no-lifes decide to base their entire personality on a consumer product that is no longer "underground" because the internet made its access so easy. Thats the definition of "cope"
