fandoms you can't stand?

[speardovich]

yeah, basically what video game fandoms do you hate?
personally i really hate the call of duty fandom. srsly why does CALL OF DUTY have a huge shipping/fanfic fandom? keep that sorta stuff for rpgs, fighting games, mobas etc. not war shooters. -_-
i also hate the fandoms for a lot of mobile games, if uve ever been on twitter u can tell why i would hate them. and i dont like the sonic and pokemon fandoms much bc theyre so negative but i dont hate them because ik that isnt the only side (im literally in the pokemon fandom lol but im more in the fanart side of it)

Sony fanboys and Windows fanboys. Sony fanboys are way too focused on graphics and repeatedly recycling the same best-looking games. Not to mention their love for overpaying for stupid shit like PS Portal and soon-to-be-released PS5 Pro.
Windows fanboys are hands down the most insecure fanboys out there. Mention Linux around them and they start banging on with outdated arguments, statistics, and a paranoid ramble about how Linux will never overtake Windows. Legit, go into any thread about Linux/SteamOS going up in rankings and you will find comments acting like Windows was kicked down to last place or other insecure comments.

OH GOD I FORGOT ABOUT PLATFORM FANBOYS BC I WAS THINKING MORE ABT GAME FANDOMS but yeah platform fanboys r AWFUL and sonyponies r the worst of the lot.
"ermmmmm ur pc costs even more than the ps5 pro so ur argument is invalid!!" YEAH WELL THAT PC CAN EDIT VIDEOS, MAKE ART AND DO WORK AND THE PS5 CAN ONLY PLAY GAMES sorry i got a bit heated there lol but point still stands... consoles shouldnt cost as much as a pc. -_-

and nintendo fanboys r annoying too even if i mostly like nintendo. like ya they make my fav games (plus theyre actually making first-party stuff and have proper exclusives) but i can still call them out when they take down fan projects or make lazy ports... u ever heard of nuance dude. srsly.

Wait, WHAT?

I too am now interested in the military shooter shipping scene.

Honestly, fanboys tend to just be annoying as a whole. Still, people defending the PS5 Pro are a great example of having more money than sense

Oh boy... I have a long list of cringe for you, hold on...

• Undertale/Deltarune
• Fortnite
• Roblox
• FNAF
• MAGA
• Furries, in any form.
• Anything made by Rebecca Sugar (like Steven Universe).
• Helluva Boss and Hazbin Hotel... The jokes are just crude and cringe, way too much edge and trying too hard to be funny. Appealing to 13 year olds when they're clearly 18+ animations and jokes.
• Owl House
• Infinity Train
• As much as I love Splatoon, even that fandom I can't stand sometimes.
• Crypto bros.
• Weed fandom: Those diehard stoners that live their entire life revolving about weed, smoking weed, brag about how "high" they constantly are or need to be, wearing nothing but clothing with pot leaves all over it, etc.

As somebody that bought a PS4 Pro over the base model, I'm happy with it. But PS5 Pro isn't worth the price gouge, especially without the optical drive or the 3 cent vertical stand that they can't seem to pack in with it.

yep... its mostly things ive seen over discord but apparently there r tons of ppl who ship the characters, r fictionkins of them and write fanfics. idk why but it rlly overlaps with real person fiction communities (esp sports rpf) and factkin too from the ppl ive seen (tho that may b just my bad luck finding the craziest of the crazy) >_<

I'm surprised because CoD was the designated realistic hetero shooter during my early Xbox 360 days... surely there were other ones but CoD would get the center of attention in my social circles.

So to see it get in the hands of fandom shippers, it's quite shocking to me.

Anti-fandoms are the most annoying fandoms. They’re mostly run by youtubers making money off bullying fandoms by cherry picking content to show how cringe they are.

Furries: “hey badger you’re a furry?”
Me: “no, I’m just a badger”
Furries: “ok”

Anti-furries: “hey badger you’re a furry? They’re so cringe and suck and have you seen this and this and that and rainfurrest and bronies and this youtuber who makes fun of them?”
Me: “no. Also I don’t care”
Anti-furries: “but they’re so cringe and suck and have you seen this and this and—“

I’ll take a random nerd rambling in high details to me about something niche of what makes them passionate than yet another high school reject telling me what’s cool and what isn’t.

“But badger didn’t you know that this fandom did this and this and that” didn’t you know that fandoms are made of people and they’re decentralised? If there are many people shipping two characters obsessively it’s only the result of our hypersexualised society, definitely an issue NOT caused by whichever fandom you don’t like. Let people enjoy things.

yeah, i never cared abt shooter games but before recently whenever i saw ppl talk abt cod it was all "ooooohhhh kids 2day r so SENSITIVE SPECIAL SNOWFLAKES they could NEEEEVER survive a cod lobby in 2009!!" and now all i hear abt it is ppl calling the characters their scrinkly mipys and making them kiss. and like they could be doing that in the fandom for anything so why cod??

what the fuck

i dont know either

GNU/Linux zealot's

Granted I'm not talking about fanboys, but people who take things to the point that it comes across as a religion.

I literally couldn't say anything positive about a binary blob Vs compile from source without their response coming across as if I shat on their beloved mother's grave, for those unaware, this includes Steam.

[ChronoCrossfangirl2002]

i really don't like sonic fandom for reasons already stated but also because I've had experience with some
that act like they care about you and go around the next minute not giving a shit, i left twitter because of constantly
being mistreated and used by people i left and my discord dms as well as my YT comments were being filled by people asking
where i was and if i'll come back and i caved in and went back and when i did NO ONE care lmao. the furry fandom has the same damn issue, they don't wanna be your friend they just want you there as a number it's fucking weird, i don't really get into fandoms anymore because it's too much, the only consistently good fandom i've ran into is the Solatorobo fandom, they're oddly extremely nice people

I hate all fandoms. There isn’t one that I’ve come across that isn’t toxic to some annoying degree. One that does tend to standout is Smash. The melee old heads you can just smell through the screen, who will preach to the heavens about how great their preferred title is.. All the while smashing perfectly working GameCube controllers and scalping CRT sets.

 

[AverageHorse]

A lot of 'em, actually. Basically any fandom turns into trash sooner or later.

 

[MidnightMegaplex]

The whole Console War Fandom. Sony Fanboys are amongst the very worst when it comes to the console war crap.

 

[BeniBel]

Final Fantasy 7 fandom. I love the series, love FF 7 (OG and Remakes), but the community around it is so extreme toxic and delussional. They want to push it as a gay symbol, while there isn't a single gay thing in it.

Oh Cloud dresses up as a girl in one part? That's not gay, it's freaking hilarious how a stiff and serious guy has to disguise himself, to save Tifa. It was something people used as a joke in the 90s...
Or the fact that you can go on a "date" with Barret, which also was implented as a joke, if you didn't get any of the girls to like you... Heck, you can even date the dog...

I was a member of multiple fangroups, all of them were glorified pride groups.
