This will be weirdly specific but the Furby community.
First it was pretty much nonexistant as the old forum died due to some hosting errors. Fastforward a few years later and the furby tag on tumblr exploded and it's full of this shit. Which sucks as I fix Furbies for fun and I have to look through the garbage to find blogs focusing on technical advice. The furby fandom is full of genderspecial teens that were born too late to remember the original 1998 Furbies. Which is not an issue in itself, it's just that they are all so cringey and annoying.
Also the original booklet or online lore states that Furbies don't have any gender (so the new owner can decide on their own), so OF COURSE the genderspecials decided they are trans. Disgusting

>>275862>>275863>>275865k, I will shut up now, you get my point.
MLP was ruined for me too because of Bronies, good thing that they didn't decide to assimilate into the MLP Arena culture, but that's a story for another time.
I love collecting toys but it's so hard to find friends who are into the same thing and not unhinged to a certain degree.

>>275867This seems weirdly fascinating anon! What about ddlg community, do they meddle into furbies fandom too?
Tbh I hate when people bring up politics in non political communities, it just screams attention whoring.

>>275862>>275863>>275865>>275867I meant to shut up but found the beautiful reddit post about Furby community drama:

>>275869For some reason, I have not seen much DDLG crap in the Furby tags (thank God). Maybe Furbies are not cute enough for them? Which is weird, as there are Furby babies, lol.
Thank God for that though.

>>275870>A bizarrely high amount of extremist feminists (TERFs, really) come into the furby tag on tumblr and spam fandom users with obscene images of gore and violence.Call bullshit on that. The only TERF who is interested in Furbies and has any online presence is larpsandthereal girl and she would not post gore. Bet those were the trans sympathisers trying to blame terfs for everything, as always.
I'm not even against reasonable trans people if they decide that transitioning is the best way to go about their issues, but those 'ENBIES ARE VALID!!! KILL ALL TERFS!!!' kids are annoying.

>>275990I agree with you. The community used to be more self-deprecating in humor, people were self-aware that they were losers but didn't really care because they were having fun. Now it's all about "cringing" at others, having "good taste" and pretending to be an expert, or liking shit anime only because it's "ironic" or whatever. Having passion is almost looked down upon nowadays. The internet just seems more angry in general.
I don't really agree with the cosplay thing though, most cosplay (at least where I live) still looks like shit. Only difference is people buy from ebay or aliexpress instead of making it themselves. Attractive girls just get the most photos spread so they seem more numerous than they actually are.

>>276029>>275990i hate this too. all the people are just weebs trying to assert that they're much better than those
other weebs, but they do the same shit. like i remember going on /cgl/ and seeing people criticize weeb pronunciation of japanese but then also were wrong themselves anyway. like why are they so smug?

>>275990Yeah, I don't like how 'ironic' the internet has become in general. Most of it just seems like pic related to me.

>>275853Ngl I kinda like the art how aesthetic/ the thrifted clothes mostly and I do like kankens but it can get really pretentious. I’m tired of seeing the same basic pics of people who looked like they haven’t showered in days wearing some aliexpress Van Gogh socks while holding cheap artists loft brushes or 3 copic markers.
>>275990I think a lot of this has to do with the fact that anime is becoming more mainstream, which I’m gonna be honest I’m not really a fan of. Not because it’s ~muh secret club~ But more because the larger the fan base the more problems it has and gets out of control/as if the community doesn’t already have a ton of problems/
With that said I feel lately people are a lot quicker to move on from fandoms once a new shiny one arises. It’s kinda depressing and hard to keep up with.

The youtube community is a complete shitshow, I mean there is some decent content but for the most part it's shit.
Shitty clickbait thumbnails and trying to make money off of controversies got old real fast.

>>276033Feel free to laugh at me, but teen me found the MLP community really comfy and cosey. It was a safe space for me away from whatever traumatizing shit I was going through. Everyone was so nice and there were many threads that made me happy, like the members reminiscing about their childhood ponies and the way thay came up with elaborate stories etc. It was nice to look at photos of toys and daydream about collecting them someday. I felt jealous (but in a good way) of the women who had loving boyfriends and families supporting their hobby.
There was no tumblr shit back then and it was so new to to see adults enjoying toys. It helped that the community was as undegenerate as possible, or at least I 've never run into any nastiness (though I mostly lurked and posted cute or weird bootleg finds).

>>276367It has always been very cringeworthy, I'm a fan of MCR but damn are their fans stupid and unbearable. (Frerard 24/7 for example, kill it with fire please) Also everyone who keeps sending all members accounts with MCR related questions and demands like Fuck off, they won't come back, as interesting as the theories sound.
>>276412 There's a recrudescence of critic channels from everyone and their mother too, it's almost half of my recommended on some days.
>>276415 It's not laughable anon, the community has just been plagued with the newer generations (and internet made it worse). The ddlg community appropriates lots of childhood toys, but you can find lots of websites on them (strawberryreef for every pony ever released, for example.) If you want, here's the vintage/childhood collectors thread, I eevn made a discord for it ! (link in thread)
