Loki Laufeyson Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 People not allowing other fans to enjoy the work the way they want. That is literally the only thing that can put me off of a fandom. (other than being hella fucking gross and creepy. Thanks a pantload, bronies) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maybe Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 i don't like the concept of a "fanbase" this, exactly. it's a dumb generalization Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebony Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Depends on the fanbase/case to case scenario I guess. I know one is that I got kinda chased out of several RWBY groups because I don't ship Ruby x Weiss or Yang x Blake, then got called racist for shipping Blake x Weiss. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is literally the only thing that can put me off of a fandom. (other than being hella fucking gross and creepy. Thanks a pantload, bronies) The only thing I really wanna add to this is when it's really common for fans of the thing to fail to realize that it's just fiction, and the stakes are not anywhere close to what they would be if it was real life.

twice Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 ig some fanbases can be worse than others but either way nothing is perfect, or fits to everyone's standards so I try to tend to ignore things I disagree with nowadays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebony Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 please tell me you aren't serious i guess the folks who hate on a ship for the dumbest reasons. It's an ironic fanfic, but it's very real and people have that attitude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magical Glace Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 please tell me you aren't serious i guess the folks who hate on a ship for the dumbest reasons. If stuff like that wasn't real I wouldn't have mentioned it in the first place. It's very common on the Internet, sadly. Hating on and demonizing perfectly respectable Character X because there's a chance he can be with Character Y instead of Character Z.

Freohr Datia Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Well I try to avoid being turned off from an entire fanbase because every fanbase has all sorts of people, it's unfair to generalize toxicity in general is something I don't like to see, but I try to avoid taking that out on an entire fanbase if it's got some toxic people (tbh I'd be amazed if there existed a fanbase that didn't have any toxic people unless that was an incredibly small fanbase - idk if the quantity of fans determines whether a group is considered a fanbase or not) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will confirm that size does not matter - one toxic person can make the entire thing unfun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
