Fandoms you dislike, of things you like.

[LollzRoyce42]

Wow, I'm surprised no-one has said this yet, but...

Motherfucking Classic Fallout fans.
They just absolutely shun with an intense hatred, anything that is not the original game. A good portion of them don't even like Fallout 2, even though the games both look and act the same! Why? Because those fans don't like the fact that there are so many Easter Eggs in it. You would not believe the revile those people have for Fallout: Tactics and Fallout 3.

As once brilliantly stated, "Over the years, the Fallout community has been gradually distilled and refined into glittering gems of hatred.".

Really? I've never heard that. I loved the original. I loved the sequel. I've loved the new ones. The only one no one is allowed to like is the god-awful Brotherhood of Steel for the consoles. As long as you don't bring that abomination to the party, when the world ends, you can come hang out in my vault, bro.

Seriously? Then you might not have heard of NMA (No Mutants Allowed). If you have, disregard that last statement. I once went on there to download the restoration patch and a few other things for Fallout 2. And once I got sidetracked it was like... OH DEAR GOD THE BILE. EVERYONE'S SPEWING DRIBBLE EVERYWHERE. Just go and look at NMA's "official" Fallout 3 review.








But yeah, fuck Brotherhood of Steel.
Really? Death metal? In a Fallout game? And wait, what happened to the whole RPG thing? Where'd it go?

Oh yeah... I forgot about those guys. I haven't been to see that site in a Looong time... long before Fallout 3 ever came out, and even then I only came for the patches.

 

[Loop Stricken]

Oh no I watch MLP and I quite like it but it's just the fans get to me so much that I don't like admitting it or being associated with them and their "clopping" ways...

Ooohhh, you sound a lot like Howard Stern. Here's two points:

.Clopping is pony porn, sick, disgusting, pony porn
.Only about 5% of bronies actually do it, if you don't seek cloppers out they won't come to you

Okay, I lol'd at when I got to that word.

I'm a terrible terrible person, I know ...

Well now, the fact that Toasty doesn't like cloppers just makes it so much more satisfying!

I think that even the guy who runs that site (Odin) resents its current inhabitants.

I really like the Sonic the Hedgehog games. I preferred them over Mario, because I loved that the platforming was momentum based and loved watching Sonic bounce around and zoom through the loops and corkscrews. But then, the last game I'd really played was Sonic 3. So, I kind of lost touch of what was going on with that franchise. I recently bought Sonic Generations and, hell, even though I had no idea who most of the characters were, the game itself was still pretty damn fun...

Now I had no idea that Sonic had a hardcore fan-base and I haven't really met anyone who fits the description. However, from what I've heard from enough people that I believe it, is that the Sonic fan-base is a little... "off". I think I'll just avoid them.

you'll get it with any fadom

but fucking otaku/weaboos....I loathe soo much

Hey, I gotta ask. What exactly is a "weaboo"? This being the internet and all, I've heard that term a lot, but was never exactly sure what it meant. I know it has something to do with Japan, like otaku, but is there a difference? Just curious.

Browncoats.

*Shiftily glances at my Serenity badge.* Uhhhhhhh... 'sup? Eh, I haven't talked about the show in awhile anyway.

 

[Moderated]

My old forum's bronies. Before I am flamed, I am not referring to all bronies, just the ones at my old forum.

 

[God'sFist]

Anybody thinking of TOBUSCUS or pewdiepie? I'm a fan o both and I don't understand all the bitching, I mean come on can't ya just shut up and watch them play a game?

Pretty much a Japanophile. They like things because they're Japanese and worship anything from GLORIOUS NIPPON regardless of the actual quality. They often like to delude themselves into thinking they are Japanese.

As for me, yaoi fangirls. Even the worst waifu fights aren't nearly as bad as two hambeast going at it over their shipper pairings.

as far as I know (and anyone is free to correct me if I'm wrong)

its somone who takes the Otaku thing (liking anime) to a whole new level by being obsessed with Japan, (japan does EVERYTHING BETTER!!) wishing desperatly they were japanise and having the delusion they're gonna go over to japan and get japnease girlfrends who will think they are cool because of how much they like cartoons (as far as I know they like Anime in japan as much as the mainstream of the west does...ie: not very)

usualy having a very skewed and romanticized veiw of japan

thats the extreme anyhow...based on my own speculation

 

[Colour Scientist]

you look pretty good as a hedgehog

Thanks! Maybe it's a look I should consider, I don't think I'd have very many friends though!

 

[VeryOddGamer]

Dr Who fans.They are hypercritical of everything.I'll watch the show and think,"Oh,I enjoyed that!" and go onto the DW forums where there's always a bunch of negative asshats who give EVERY episode 0/10 0n principle.Fair enough,the quality of the show varies wildly,but if you hate it THAT much to diss EVERY ep,why watch it?

Really, they're like that? Well, that's one fanbase I won't be associating with very soon. Me on the other hand like almost every single episode.
OT: I can't really think of any, all fanbases have some group of horrible people.

 

[ToastiestZombie]

I am disappoint, Hugh the Hedgehog does not have any results. Even with safe-search off

I'm sort of amazed how well behaved the Godzilla fandom is, or what's left of it. Aside from some of that god-awful "Neo-monster" artwork, it seems pretty docile.

As for the Bronies, what I don't like about them is how self righteous they are.

blurrb

What have you done with Little Pip!? How am I supposed to identify you in the fourms now?

What, don't you like toast pony? I do, and I'm keeping it!

 

[ZephrC]

Bacon. The internet has destroyed my ability to enjoy bacon. I hope you're happy.

I'm fine with cloppers, and I shared a lol with mr Topaz here. So yeah, assumptions hoooo!

- Also, Games Workshop fanboys, and to an extent the store staff themselves. It may be different for other areas, but we're talking about a Fanbase whose average reaction to anything is pure, rabid hatred towards anything and everything that exists ever. Not to mention other players will constantly try to misinterpret rules, exploit loopholes and are just generally terrible, terrible sports. Much like your average DOTA/LoL/HoN player (though to be fair, Games Workshop probably deserves the fans they get - especially with the ridiculous price hikes and Matthew Ward).

What's just as bad is that people, at least in my part of the world, don't seem to get how goofy the whole 'verse is. People go on about how cool the chaos space marines are because they have the aesthetic tastes of an 11 year old internet tough guy and don't see why the Robot-Zombie necrons are silly (it's because their zombie-robots).

 

[ZephrC]

Bacon. The internet has destroyed my ability to enjoy bacon. I hope you're happy.

Physically impossible. Good day, sir.

See, that's exactly the kind of thing I'm talking about. It's just strips of pork with too much salt. It's not the be all and end all, and now every time I see bacon I think of this sort of nonsense and lose my appetite.

 

[Boba Frag]

I used to actually adore Dr. Who... but the new season's fans... I dunno, man... The people I know who loved Classic Who are pretty cultish and vitriolic (in my experience of a very small number of folks, not to tar everyone with the same unfortunate brush) about anything that doesn't pay EXACT and PRECISE attention to the older series. They've become the fucking Daleks of Who, implacable and nearly terminally fanboyish, totally resistant to any change and pretty condescending to anyone who doesn't share that level of.. fanatacism.

The new Dr. Who's fans seem to be fine, mostly... But they really, really, *really* bug me.
Idolising the Doctor is nothing new, but the sexualisation of the character just make my stomach turn. Over excitable Twilight fangirls seem restrained in comparison to a few people I've had the dubious honour of discussing Dr. Who with.

It's no skin of my nose what people enjoy and love watching, and I'm more than willing to accept that I'm old and bitter and easily annoyed by energetic younger fans.

But I hated Rose, and I hate Amy Pond. The River Song thing smacks of creepy, creepy fan fiction... So, yeah.

There, I've said it.

Let the flaming begin!

(my opinions only, if you love the new Series, and have tattoos of Rory on your arms, please don't take it as a personal attack. If you love Who, good for you! Allons-y!)

 

[Sandjube]

The people who are hating on "weeaboos", have any of you actually been to Japan? It's pretty sweet.
If anything it would be great to tap into some of that love people show their favourite series.

theres a difference between liking/apreciating japanease culture (I think alot of their stuff is really cool)

to being like THIS:

Holy shit it's a girl. I didn't know that until I watched half of it, read the comments, and checked out a different video. Christ.

It was just one of those so bad I couldn't look away moments, daaaaaaah. Why is that a thing? WHY?
