it's small but it's been going on for years. the black butler fandom is the worst. it's like a bizarre combo of fujo and shota.

i really need content creators to stop pandering to fans. of the fandoms the OP listed, it's been done in steven universe, voltron, and especially MLP. the results are always garbage and cringy, yet diehard fans who can't tell quality writing from a pile of shit will lap it up and throw their money at it without a second thought. it encourages their obsessively nerdy behavior AND tanks the quality of the show, movie, book, etc immensely.
anyways… a fandom in particular i dislike is for undertale. and no, i don't mean all the kids having fun with a cool game. i mean the adults that make millions of 3edgy5u AUs where everyone is fucking each other and being yandere or something. and of course i can't find it when i need it, but does anyone remember when people made sans vore audio posts on tumblr?
actually, does vore count as a fandom? going through the tag on tumblr gives me hives. the way they talk about it… "tinies" "teenies" "tummy" "gurgles" "rumblies"

I really dislike the SU fandom, especially when they pretend that it contains lesbian representations when the non-human characters are technically not even females or some shit like that while bragging about accurate and realistic lgbt representation. The character design looks absolutely disgusting and some Jem and the Holograms bootleg. I can't stand the Voltron fandom when it comes to shipping wars because they're not even fun to watch for afar, but I got curious enough to check the show myself and it's an ok show. I think I would have loved it as a teen or a child but I just find it ok and a good way to pass time, not some soap opera masterpiece that the hardcore fans make it seem like.
>>282987>i really need content creators to stop pandering to fans.It's more like they should exclusively pander to the intended audience and not the most vocal fans, and only if they want to. I think Voltron is aimed at kids, boys and girls who like action shows, but their stunt with gay Shiro and his ex-bf didn't seem like it wasn't made to pander to the intended audience but to the "representation matters!!1!" and fujoshi fans. Can you imagine if this happened with popular manga? We would have actual fujo pandering in the series published in the shonen jump magazine and things would be completely different in general.
>>283013I always managed to avoid the fandom while enjoying the manga and the anime to a lesser extent. The anime does have an OAV for the murder mystery arc and a movie for the Campania arc (which would have been perfect if not for the disgusting CGI for crowds but whatever). What should come next is the college arc but there's no news about that so it's basically a wait and see case.
The manga really looks like it's reaching it's conclusion because there has been some crazy revelations that were more or less planned and others that should be coming next
such as who the fuck is undertaker, what was up with Claudia, who planned the attack on the manor, why and their connection with the cult but the current arc is super long for no good reason and the chapter are way shorter than they used to be so I can imagine some people are losing interest. I always forget the series exists until a friend tells me to check news scans.
>>283087It really depends on fujo and shows. Another example of that is Loveless, I never watched or read it but it was popular at some point.
No. 283097
If I were to decide on the worst fandom I've ever experienced, I think Steven Universe takes the cake because it's a shitty, ugly cartoon with an equally retarded creator and it doesn't deserve the attention and recognition it gets. Voltron is nearing its status as a legendary piece of shit community but unlike with Steven Universe I don't think their body count is over 0 yet.
However it's hard to say which is the worst. The current era social media Tumblr fandom bullshit started with Homestuck, continued with Sherlock, Dr. Who, Supernatural, Shingeki no Kyojin, Undertale, Steven Universe and Voltron. It's the same crowd that is attracted by all these franchises so basically it's just the same fandom over and over again. Bronies were creepy and disgusting but in all fairness they left it at that. I don't think they ever became violent or started aggressive witch hunts to get people doxxed and fired. It was the same with Hetalia and Sonic, their fans are/were autistic and gross but generally harmless.
Another candidate outside of cartoons or tv shows, the k-pop stans can be so fucking awful. I'm an oldfag k-pop listener and I dropped it almost completely after all the retarded BTS Armies took over the whole scene and I simply can't deal with their bullshit. Even worse is when they try to call their precious BTS's rival bands out with stupid ass accusations of racism and whatever, not because they actually think g-dragon is racist for having cornrows (which is a dumb statement in itself), but because they just want to kill all competition for their precious oppa jimin uwu. Good lord just fuck off with your underage sasaeng ass.
>>282966If you seriously think Kuroshitsuji fandom was/is the worst, I envy your naivety. It doesn't even exist anymore.
>>283040It's because the creators of these shows are approachable on social media and vulnerable to the viewers. They keep caving in under pressure from fans which leads to a clusterfuck of pandering and the show being cucked out of all credibility.

anyways I don't consider it a "fandom" but like with Harry Potter, adults who are obsessed with Disney are terrible people in general with their heads up their own asses. It's funny that most of them are very left/progressive, but become obsessed with things that are very white and have surface level morals. Vid related, it's one of the many brands of Lindsey Ellis-esque videos where someone tries to "deconstruct" a film made for children. It's like these people can't understand that a large corporation won't cater to your every whim (like with The Last Jedi controversy from fan) and is instead literally making movies they can sell in China for money. China is literally the reason why every other minority is represented in Disney movies but LGBT people.

The danganronpa fandom is pretty bad desu, not gonna lie. V3 attracted a bunch of stupid, vapid people who only care about annoying meme characters like Ouma and try and act like the ending to V3 wasn’t the worst thing in video game existence. Also the over abundance of trans headcanons, people making every single character a strong independent gay/lesbian, and the fact that the V3 characters weren’t even good and people aren’t acting like they have immensely deep backstories. SDR2 is one of the best games ever and had some of the best characters ever, V3 was such a downgrade. It is sad the fandom has gone down the gutter as well as the series.

>>283616I'm not even going to read the whole post because I haven't touched V3 yet but the fandom was always shit and I have no idea how a series so
problematic with actual controversial content attracted SJWs so fast with the first game. I haven't finished SDR2 because I lost interest after the 3rd chapter so maybe I missed interesting drama within the fandom?
>>283624Same shit with Naoto from Persona 4. She hides her identity as a teenage girl for practical reasons (because she wasn't respected at work and deemed incompetent for being a girl) and if you complete her social link she says something like "I'm proud of being a woman" but I still see people saying that she's a transboy and that her character arc was transphobic and homophobic.
I think it also has to do with Kanji who has a crush on her, fans desperately want him to be gay because "representation matters!!1!" so him having a crush on a transboy would still make him gay to the fans instead of bi or ambiguous.

>>283303>>283347It’s a huge pet peeve of mine how all HP fans I personally know act like they were totally bullied for liking HP in middle school :((( when I know for a fact that that’s complete bullshit. HP was so popular at my school that you’d get shit for
not liking it. For years I pretended to like the books because any kid who didn’t was excluded and made fun of. Some of my favourite fantasy authors were accused of having copied Rowling despite their stories being published years, sometimes decades before hers, and people would mock me for reading these “copycats”. A few of the most popular kids in our year even tried to have it added to our school’s English literature curriculum alongside Dickens and Twain. And now these people are in their late twenties and acting like being HP fans made them unpopular nerdy underdogs? Fuck off. They might as well pretend they got bullied in elementary school for liking Disney movies.
Please note that I’m talking about people in my personal life with whom I grew up, not every HP fan ever. I have no problem believing that some kids did get bullied for it. Just not the people on my feed who act like they’re being so #brave and #nerdy for being fans of one of the most popular media franchises of all time.

Wow. It was really interesting to read everyone's opinions so far.
I'm an oldfag and haven't been into fandoms since the late 90s/very early 2000s when things were a little less intense, but damn. A lot of these batshit crazy fandoms have made it to my radar over the years since I use twitter/tumblr/instagram (not for fandom though ofc), browse here + 4chan, but most alarmingly…a lot of the people I used to know where in them.
The majority of the people I've met at cons/through cosplay/online who are heavily in one or many of the fandoms listed so far seem to share severe social/mental issues that are eerily similar to one another. Now that I think about it, they all had such strong traits that could literally be generalized like the fandom's reputations.
They all dedicated so much emotion and money into a lot of these *~problematic~* fandoms listed here, specifically steven universe, voltron, yuri on ice, omotesando, superwholock (and all individal fandoms), danganronpa, south park, rupaul, my little pony, and also death note/homestuck/hetalia/naruto/sonic, and more. Almost all of them liked every single one at some point and followed them closely over the years.
I have been rethinking a few of those lingering friendships that I have been trying to maintain but I am struggling with the fact that I just don't like them as people, and probably never did. Low and behold, they have the same tendencies as the extreme cases listed here. Almost all of them treat others horribly, are extremely self centered, go on witchhunts, virtue signaling, shaming, overly aggressive and pick fights, bully, take advantage of others, e-beg online, victimize, physically and sexually abuse others (slapping, hitting, grabbing body parts), and are never, EVER wrong and will put anyone on blast who crosses them. The way most anons described these shitty fandoms act in general could be directly applied to most of the people I knew. What's wild is while some were from the same friend groups, others were completely separate friend groups yet they acted almost exactly the same.
This is actually extremely interesting. I don't want to derail more after blogging but has there ever been any research on harmful fandoms like these which become echochambers for really disturbing and damaging behaviors? I know that is rampant these days with non-fandom things too, but it's kind of amazing how it has spiraled out of control for a lot of fandoms and they are attacking creators, fans they disagree with, resorting to some dangerous behavior, etc. and there is little to no actual pushback, so they keep going further and further.

And even if you avoid all drama and make a bland as shit super-inclusive virtue signaling product, they might signal boost your project but at the same time they forget you in 10 seconds, never buy your product and continue to support some more successful franchise while demanding them to cater to their every whim.

>If they're not being retarded about it like it's the only part of their identity, I don't see the problem.i would agree with this but in my experience the only people who label themselves as such really do treat is as their core identity. referring to your example, wouldn't putting "i like BL" in a profile suffice?

But these days it's because of the current year wokeness shit, fujos are seen as "fetishizing homosexuals" which is the dumbest fucking thing in a while as many fudanshis enjoy the genre as well and a lot of fujoshis are lesbians/bisexuals themselves. Ironically the people calling them out are usually fakeboys and transmen who just want to be better than "le other girls" like

Honestly if you're annoyed with the label fujo but ok with 'I like BL', you're just splitting hairs and reaching for things to pick on. I call myself a fujo (in my head since I don't use tumblr or anything) because I am one, because I think it's kind of funny and self deprecating, because I DON'T like BL. I like m/m shipping in various media, but not the BL genre of manga.
No. 285727
>>285600> i get men hating themI could type an essay on this. It's because mlm fakebois want to seem like men so they say they hate fujoshi for fetishizing them so it's related. Actual gay men into nerd shit don't care nearly as much. Funny how these fakebois are usually the ones who are gross and fetishising gay and bi men. So it's killing two birds with one stone; these nerds get to look more manly AND more oppressed at once.
They also don't know the real definition of fujoshi and why it's a pun with the kanji for "rotten girl". They think "rotten" is a reference to fujoshi being secretly homophobes who watch gay porn on a regular basis when it's a reference to women being into porn and sexy men being rotten in general. It's the same with when teenage girls are saying they're sinning for shipping slash and reading BL. The ones who hate fujoshi are so retarded they don't understand that it's a reference to the fact that teenage girls are expected or asked to be pure and innocent even though these teenage girls are fantasizing about hot guys on the internet and writing fucked up porn on ao3 (straight or gay for that matter). It's so obvious, and yet you still have idiots who think fujoshi as a whole want gay men to have gay sex just for them and then rot in hell for their sins. So from that angle it's the typical "teenage girls are laughable" justification.

>>285600the word has evolved (or degraded) to mostly mean the type of fujos who turn into fakebois and are annoying af.
tumblr even hates reasonable fujos for muh fetishization but i'm pretty sure at lolcow the word is just like incel, cuck, or NEET
as in it's based on the original definition but people overuse it and have a specific stereotype in mind.
like i doubt most farmers care if you're a reasonable non-snowflake young lady who happens to like your porn gay, when they throw around the word fujo they're talking about larping fakebois who wanted to BE the uke and go on grindr to find seme.
just like if you're techincally NEET because you can't afford college and you're between jobs and you have some savings or something, probably no one cares, but when people throw around NEET they're picturing a shutin with no ambition and no skills

Also, I know a lot of fakebois attack fujos but most of the ones I’ve seen are shamelessly into fujo stuff. I’d say it’s an equally mixed bag.

>>304655I'm fucking amazed that this is the first time someone brought up Homestuck in this thread. Back in the day, that fandom was a cringe machine.
There are a lot of people who conjecture that the whole "forced diversity" headcanons started there because the guy who wrote it made the mistake of saying that the race of the characters was up to interpretation. Hence all the fanart where Dave is a fat black kid with Macklemore hair. I honestly don't recall seeing the race-headcanon-drama before social justice and Homestuck collided in 2012 or so. But yeah we basically have Homestuck to thank for all the "this white character is black now I don't make the rules uwu" crap that pervades fandoms like a cancer.
Then there was all the other drama, most of which pertained to how Homestuck cosplayers acted like wild chimps at cons. By the time the body paint, horn, and bucket drama was dealt with in the community, the damage to the comic's reputation had been done.
This is also to say nothing of how the guy who wrote it basically pissed away two million bucks getting into legal trouble and trying to fulfill expensive Kickstarter reward tiers, then treated the employees on the video game like shit. I'm fucking amazed that the game project survived after all that.
That said, now that the comic is no longer "popular", the now relatively small fanbase is pretty pleasant. I was shocked by the lack of drama in the wake of the new dating sim.

People on Tumblr will talk about the villains and plot too, but good luck finding them in the abyss that is the main Voltron tag. But you are right, a large portion of the fandom only cares about shipping.
