Worst Fan Base Out There

[malestrithe]

The Star Wars fanbase is some of the worst people I've seen. They've been around long enough to have some credibility, but they are still annoying. They forget that the first two made were the only ones that had decent scripts, that everything after Return is terrible, and Lucas was always about making green off his franchise.

The Clone Wars serial is not proof that Lucas has lost his mind. The Caravan of Courage and Battle for Endor are proof of that.

Many great games have a large number of silly fans. Creepy fanart is usually what makes me cringe (not fanart in general, but that certain kind of fanart). I think Bioware, Valve, and Nintendo are the biggest victims of this.

For films, I'd say it's a tie between fans of the new "Popcorn Intellectual" film, like Inception; or fans of the new "Just Switch Your Brain Off" film, like everything Michael Bay has ever made.

Other fanbases I hate are the fans of American extremist news (both Stephen Colbert and Glen Beck) who let them do the thinking for them, and, I hate to say it, but fans of "Black" American things. Modern Rap Music, Professional Sports, and just general loathsomeness shouldn't be associated with a race, but there are too many Black people who buy into that crap, and are total jerks about it. Although, there are plenty of people from other races who are just as ridiculous in these regards. One notable caveat is soccer fans, who no matter what race they are have a lot of jerks in their fanbase.

Juggalos.

Ouch, I used dA. Love it, great way for me and my friends just to have a laugh and share our imaginations with each other
Plus, I like the gallery system. I draw but I mainly write so it's just a good place to post both of them without the hassle of posting links to loads of different sites.

Nothing personal, it's just that whenever I go there I see the same crap. People blocking others for the most constructive of criticism, making horrible spelling mistakes and calling it "a personal touch", destroying some of my most beloved characters by making them a furry/gay/etc and the people who upload blatant pornography and call it art.

I just wish my school didn't force us to make an account to put all of our work up on.

Oh god, I hate that. I got a premium account around Christmas and remember I wanted to do a critique. Found something that got a Daily Deviation and noticed that they said they wrote the story of the comic. It had been plagiarised and I called the person out on it. They hid my whole critique :/ Was quite annoyed.

And I agree with porn thing. A photo of your vagina in black and white isn't artistic >_<

Trust me, there are plenty of fans of the original games whose main, specific complaint about FO3 was that it wasn't isometric and turn-based. I was an Admin on the wiki for a brief period of time, and we had our share of fanatical loons there.

Now I'm feeling sorry for you. You actually had to deal the inmates :S

I mentioned the Sawyer debacle to point out that there were, in fact, a (rather large) bunch of fans the tend to be unreasonable.

But I've got to admit, I always cringe when someone mentions the merits of Fallout 3 on NMA... The poor fella is in for a world of flames.

I agree. There are legitimate criticisms to be had regarding FO3 (though, as someone who outright encourages a lack of consistency in sequels, I've found myself immune to some), but it starts getting out of hand when people start treating it as if it were something that is objectively, definitively, absolutely bad, and say that any percieved merits of the game are the result of the players delusions.

Fans of lesser fighting games, like Smash Brothers or DBZ Budokai.

Yes, I know they are fairly deep, I know they are hard to master... But I don't give a rat's ass about tiers and cheap stages. ITS A GAME. I just want to pick Mario and have some DUMB fun.

While an EXTREME minorty, I'm going to have to go with Die-Hard Anime fans. Whenever I State that I am not a fan and dislike it, For whatever reason perhaps they forced me to say somthing about it, It's not as if I just randomly go around saying that. Anywase, The Die-Hard fans will try to convince me I am wrong and I should love it beacuse its cool or whatever bullshit reason. They cannot accept that if I dislike it I dislike it and nothing can change that

 

[ToastiestZombie]

Valves fan base, or as I like to call them the "EPIZODE 3 NOAAWWW!!!!" crowd. I live Valve myself but people just cant seem to get valves philosophy of we'll do it when it done and think that if they dont get episode 3 soon that means that Valve doesnt care about it and is leaving behind Half Life.

 

[MCrewdson001]

the portal games are epic but the fans can be way to obsessive

 

[GrungyMunchy]

I'm going to have to say Nintendo, or more specifically Mario.
I was in an argument with a classmate of mine who said that Mario Galaxy 2 deserves an 10/10 on every website. My argument was that the story was overused, and the gameplay was basically ripped from the first one, and that a 10/10 means that it is perfect in every way

Um, criticizing the story of a Mario game? You're kinda missing the point.

 

[RootbeerJello]

Sonic fans. They're just... obsessed to an amazing degree. They think every terrible sonic game is the shit until a new one comes out so they can make awful jokes about the previous, they have the most mundane sense of humor, which they demonstrate by making millions of poorly animated videos that aren't funny at all, they write fanfic and make generally awful fanart, and... sonic porn -shudder-. Maybe I'm being too harsh here, and I'm sure there are totally normal sonic fans, I myself loving every Sonic game up to SA2B, but I can't take the obsessive fans.

 

[elbrandino]

I was tempted for a second to say Twilight, but that series has gotten me so angry that it spiked at absolute hatred and then plunged into apathy. I don't care any more. I really don't.

So I'm gonna go with the Call of Duty fanbase. You can't say one thing about those games that isn't praise in a lot of places and get flamed by half the planet.

 

[RandallJohn]

I can't really think of any fandom that's ALL bad. I mean, every group's gonna have rational folks and fanboys.

You can make a good story out of anything.

Now, that's not to say that Mario needs a DRAMATIC character driven storyline or anything. But you can still make a good storyline out of that.

Sure you can, but the Mario games clearly are all about the gameplay. The characters that appear in the games cannot even be considered characters, they're plot devices. The story is irrelevant, it's just the excuse to bring you those crazy levels.

Console Elitists (Consoles are just PCs with loads of restraining. If computers didn't exist,you goddamn console gamers wouldn't be hugging your PS3)

Oh, I remembered one. PC elitists.

 

[Lancallot]

Star Trek VS Star wars fans

 

[Kinokohatake]

Beatles fans. An okay band from nearly half a century ago. I had a friend get mad that a Beatles song was in a commercial like they are so amazing they their bleh music shouldn't be sullied by anything.

And soccer fans.

And any super nationalist person. THE USA IS THE BEST EVER! England is better than so and so, Germany is so great blah blah blah. I hate it.

 

[cthulhumythos]

all of the fanbases. all of them.

i can't stand a single one of them. they're all dickish in their own unique and special way.

even the ones i'm a part of. ESPECIALLY the ones i'm a part of.

where do they get off - liking things.

*shudders

makes me sick.

 

[Daftmau5]

Nobody mentioned Tali-mancers yet?
Good. I wuv my Tali and I don't want people hating me for it.

OT: CoD fanboys.
Half of them treat the franchise as if it was sent down by God.

 

[-Dragmire-]

I'd probably have to go for Halo/Call of Duty/FPS drones on this one.

Spoiler: Warning: Extreme

That was one of the most creepy/weird things I've ever seen.

OT: Any 'fan' who defends their interest with unrelenting anger. I can't compare one fan base to another but that seems to be the common factor.
