To make you happy, I changed my avatar to be Celestia if she was Leona from League of Legends.cotss2012 said:

Fandoms you dislike, of things you like.

Im late to the party but this is true. My town had some kinda goth shop open in the town centre think they called it Fiendish or something. Hordes of em lurking having competitions with themselves about who was more depressing and had the most depressing life. I agree with you they wasnt "individual" because they still followed a particular cliche like mindless sheep.Ryank1908 said:
Then chavs would show up and it would turn into a warzone. No violence or anything because they were mainly small game, all gob and not alot else etc. It got old fast with them groups bickering all the time.
It was the same old Goth vs Chav thing.
In the end the shop closed because the keeper got sick of all the aggro. He lost count of how many times he had to fork out for new windows. Shame cos the owner was a pretty decent bloke and the shop also made a change from the 10millionth (is that even a word?!) fast food joint opening in town.
There are fans of the newer fallouts who act just like that towards fans of the older fallouts.LollzRoyce42 said:
I went looking at videos of fallout 1 and 2 on youtube, and nearly everyone one of them had hate comments from fans of fallout 3/new vegas.
I'm sorry, but that's just a really lame example of someone "shoving it" into other people's faces.cotss2012 said:
It's a damned avatar, it's something people want to represent themselves with, be it characters from video games, movies, a kind of logo, whatever.
Why does it matter to you if someone wants it to be a pony? I don't see ANY way an avatar can be considered someone's way of forcing their hobby onto others.
I hate the Kingdom Hearts (yaoi fangirls) and Final Fantasy ("Herp Derp VI is duh best!" "Nope, VII is.""Nuh uh""Yea Huh") fanbases.
I apologize if somebody already mentioned this, but Kingdom Hearts. The first two games were amazing action RPGs that defined a majority of my PS2's playtime. I personally prefer the second one, but there are defenders and haters on both sides.
I have no problem with that. What I have a problem with are the ludicrous amounts of fanfickers, shippers, yaois, etc. who give fans a bad name. Look, I love Kingdom Hearts. If it weren't for the fact that it is kind of kiddish, I swear that I would totally go to conventions for it. But these people, plus the aforementioned kiddish fact, keep me from being able to say I love the games without getting some weird looks.
Also, I feel that every time that I talk about Kingdom Hearts I should mention this: if one more stupid handheld spin-off comes out after Dream Drop, I will lose my last bit of faith in the series. Just one true sequel. Is that too much to ask? It's not like Kingdom Hearts is so obscure that they'd be taking a risk with a console sequel. Plus, with the rumors of Versus XIII being cancelled, why don't they just go ahead and announce it. Pretty please?
Also, an HD rerelease on PS3 would be nice, considering my copy of the first one is scratched beyond repair and I can't find the second game.

I don't typically communicate much with fans of things I like unless they nearby in real life. But occasionally, there are some cases...
Sonic the Hedgehog. I used to kind of like the games. In fact, I'm probably a lot more forgiving of Sonic Heroes and Sonic Unleashed (yes, I liked night stages) than most people are. But the fanbase has pretty much ruined my desire to play any Sonic game released in the last two or three years with their obnoxiously vocal stupidity. And it's not even the terrible fanart or shipping wars that piss me off. Remember Spax? Yeah, I'll just leave it at that.
The other fanbase I have some issues with is Smash Bros fans. Particularly, the ones who keep bitching about how much better Melee was than Brawl (or how Smash Bros Melee is the greatest time EVAR!). I get it, guys; you're upset that instead of another competitive accident, Brawl wound up being a game that they tried to make accessible to a wider audience. And I will admit, the balance of Brawl is a bit off in some stages. But I'd rather be able to use characters I like to use than having them suck. I don't care if Marth or Snake is supposedly the best character; I want to be able to fight with Kirby and Toon Link. And don't even get me started on items. Nutshell: Competitive players hate them, I'm fine playing with or without them but have a little more fun with them. Smash Bros is just not a game I take as seriously as some do.

Every game I've ever liked. Also, Star Wars. Star Wars has too many irate fans who like to tell you about how irate they are.
Nightwish. No, stop. I don't care about your pathetic, delusional six page diatribe against Anette. No, I don't want to see your weird Tarja-based haiku. You are creepy and I just want to listen to Nightwish. But no, for some reason both can't exist in the same world.
Please tell me this post was made ironically.

Excuse me if I'm wrong, but I've watched a few of your videos and... don't you dislike MLP? The point of this thread was to complain about fandoms you're a part of. I'm not chastising you or anything, but I'm kind of confused.Bhaalspawn said:
i totally agree it's sometimes just making you wanna quit the game because of some random dude who keeps ruining the game for people who actually wanna have funMidgeamoo said:
While I am a brony but there are aspect of the fandom I do hate which is mainly the fanfic writers and this is excluding the already weird fanfic out there.
I just hate the fanfic out there that just twist and turn the current informations to that writer liking, in another word not close to being canon like at all. Example- they forget that Celestria was reluctant to banish Luna to the moon and that information was mention in the lore at the start of episode 1!!
I just take the show for what it is at face valve and with no hidden agenda that some people supposely try to find deep within the show.
By all mean I ain't saying they should stop those sort of fanfic since after all, I hate it therefore I am not going to look it up and read it (I ignore it).

The entire FGC. Just all of it.
Especially SRK.
MvC3 in it's entirety. Honestly, if the game would let you pick the same character more than once in normal play we would see nothing but Weskers with the occasional Dante, Wolverine or Vergil.
Fallout 1/2 or nothing elitists
Pokemon Gen elitist jackasses
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAH MELEE WAS MOAR HARDCORE" cry babies (Smash Bros. is what sparked my dislike for tourneys)
