Hate for fandoms

Fandoms are cancer.

Any thing that gains a large fandom is bound to be seen as cancer, mostly because the parts of the fandom that is cancer will tend to stand out more than the actual parts of the fandom.

You go to deviantart and see someone that makes a cool painting of supersonic fighting eggman and you just say that looks nice and move on... you keep on scrolling and find some foot fetish or inflation sonic art and you go "The fuck is that!? WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT!?" and that stuff becomes wwwhat the fandom is known for.

Cred Forums's main contrarian position must take a negative attitude over any self professed fandom.

>became a fan
>have fun
>get tired of it
>irritated by faggots still having fun
>bitch on Cred Forums about it

The bad part is we proactively shit on things even before having fun first.

This.
People should just shut up about cancerous side of the fandom and enjoy nice things about it.
If they could just ignore it, maybe the cancerous side will eventually just fade away or at least stop being significant enough to give newcomers negative feelings towards the fandom.

It doesn't bother me in the slightest...it might disgust me depending on what it is, but people can make whatever art they want and jerkoff to whatever they want as long as it isn't hurting anybody in real life.

Also, this isn't unique to any particular fandoms anyway, I once found PB&J Otter porn...if that isn't proof that literally everything under the sun get's sexualized by somebody idk what is.

This is also very annoying....if you stop liking something, stop liking it, don't be asspained that other people like it, that's way more cancerous than any fan of something is since generally it only results in legitimate trolling and shitposting.

Fandoms are fine when they're collections of people off-site I don't need to engage with. They can do whatever shipping or waifu faggotry on their tumblrs or wherever and there's no reason to care.

On Cred Forums specifically, fandoms are cancerous because general threads inevitably devolve into what describes, just a collection of people circlejerking over a single aspect of a show which is actually nothing to do with the show as it is and everything to do with their headcanons, fanfiction, waifufaggotry and shipping. Often they will also attract the terminal cancer that is trip and namefags, who then become self-appointed "leaders" of the fandom and try to direct it in whatever direction their personal preferences lie. This is bad because you can't have a thread without attracting these people, limiting discussion.

Fandoms then become closed groups where you adhere to the groupthink and hierarchy or you leave because you can't have the discussions you want to have.

True.

I just hope I don't see any more fist fights break out at comic-con next year. One person said that SU was boring and it just spiraled out from there.

>fist fights break out at comic-con
>One person said that SU was boring
Wait, is this real?

Star is sexy.

I didn't see it but apparently yes.
Only heared about it because I wondered why some kids were crying in the corner of the Masqurade at Comic-con.
Two autists wen apeshit and started a fight. Apparently over Steven Universe.

There's a Steven Universe Con coming so it might become real.

Holy crap, this is insane

THISTHISTHIS

>SU
wow I'm not even surprised
how can a show that preaches love and understanding have such cancerous fans?

>feet

Gashi Gashi, why?

I'm more bothered by the chromatic aberration.

Seriously, I fucking hate this fad. It does not make your art look any better. It just makes it look blurred and discoloured.

you see that in that pic? what?

Because they are annoying, cringy, easily angered and pushy. There are a few good fandom but it's just Sturgeon's Law like everything else.

Because usually people who are obsessed with something to the point that it consumes their life are focal points of the fandom. These kind of people are either kids or manchildren, and so are obnoxious.

If you don't see it you might want to get your eyes checked.

I've looked it at it on mobile first I didn't even notice it.
There are worse examples out there
also Cred Forums screaming around how an artist should or shouldn't draw is still the most laughable and pathetic thing on this website

They tend to be obnoxious zealots.

there's BARELY any you triggered fuck.

Tho I agree CA is retarded and this decade's lens flare, at least Gashi know how to use it w/o making it look like rainbow puke, I blame that cunt Sakimich-chan

Right. It's really too bad though because I saw first hand how it happened, which was actually fairly interesting. People want names and trips in order to interact with their "fans" (whether art or stories) so that they can get feedback and credit. Unfortunately this leads to them using it all the time as leverage, as though it were a forum.

See, there is a simple way of fixing this aspect: only post anonymously unless you're releasing new content. This, of course, will never happen because the content creators get too much of an ego and want that extra attention. Another bad aspect is that it ends up being the named and trip people talking amongst themselves ABOUT themselves rather than about their fandom. It's like the video of that girl who interrupted a speedrun in order to tell a sob story. Focus on what the topic is, not on yourself!

(Here's the clip for those who don't know what I'm referring to)
youtube.com/watch?v=cvvzG3X-QhM

SU is just liberalism in animated form

Because people think this is their personal blog and they want people to "Stop liking what I don't like!"

Just like those cancerous anti-shipper fags that come into otp threads and scream about how shippers are cancer.

>Then is the problem with fan created content

Even worse when fans start declaring their own works should be held in higher regard than the stuff they're supposed to be fans of in the first place.

Oh God.
What was that one fic where the authro went mad demanding that their work be made canon? Can't remember the name.

>there is a simple way of fixing this aspect: only post anonymously unless you're releasing new content.
I've tried to do this before but people can usually still tell who you are when you take off your name. If you like something you still want to talk about it in the threads not just post content, but once you start providing content you're going to start developing a reputation regardless.

It's a difficult situation to be in, to enjoy providing content for anons but not wanting to become an fucking e-celeb. I really dislike the way people fawn over content providers on Cred Forums, it's pretty fucking embarrassing and it leads to backlash from people who think you want the threads to be all about you, which I think most draw and writefags DON'T want at all. We just want to enjoy being part of something and talk about comics and cartoons we enjoy like everyone else.

The bigget the fanbase the worse it is. Just compare SU to Gumball. While Gumball has a dedicated, yet small fanbase with only a small amount of extremes. SU's fanbase is pure cancet. They hate everyone who don't think that it's the greatest cartoon of all time.

>These kind of people are either kids or manchildren and womanchildren,

Ftfy. Autism is no longer exclusive to guys.

The absolute WORST part of fandoms is when they go to other threads and post hate.

Gumball also has Manyakis who is a god-tier porn animator.

But also has the benefit of being a really good show anyway.

Imagine you like pancakes
So you try a bunch of pancakes recipes and toppings and learn a bit about pancakes history
And then you go to a pancake forum and have a blast talking about them with other pancake enthusiasts
So far this is great but you do this again and again every day and it gets boring so you star talking about how would pancakes on space, or Mars or underwater be or how pancakes would be if there wasn't flour on earth, and you fill yourself and others with wierd pancake in jokes and pancake theory and create a whole pancake culture And you go down the pancake rabbit hole to the point you can't listen to anyone else mention pancakes without getting angry and you passively aggressively defend your wierd pancake theory and opinions whenever someone from the outside questions them
And you belive you know more about pancakes than everyone else when in reality all you do is talk about wierd shit that has barely anything to do with pancakes all day with your cirecklejerk

*cancer.

Jesus fuck I hate being on mobile.

obnoxious
annoying
cancerous
Autistic
Some fandoms are worse than others but they cannot compete with the holy trinity of SU, Sanic, and MLP

Say what you want, but it was a lot of fun

You should enjoy things more than you enjoy "enjoying things." If you want "fan culture" get into sports or something. It shouldn't grow bigger than having a few people to discuss things with.

At worst (SU on tumblr) fandoms can turn into some genuinely sociopathic Buddhafield-type shit. Never let it become an "identity."

Dude....

I think you should just turn it off.

Of course you cannot. Because stuff like that happens in every fandom all the time.

With SU an artist got harassed to the point of attempting to commit suicide, just because their stylization of Rose wasn't portraying her fat enough, SU's creators stepped in to say that the fandom's actions were despicable.

that show was on cuz someone left the TV on and then a storm came and sat connection was lost.
pic related is what happened

>complaining about R34 on Cred Forums

This is how people know you're a normie straight out of Facebook, anonsky.

It's not that. The keyboard is so small and I can't use autocorrect because I have my phone in a different language.

Difference is, when manchildren act up, everybody and anybody is disgusted. When womanchildren act up, only manchildren mind it.

Most of rule 34 is pretty enjoyable, or at least not bad
I guess this was more about fetish stuff and things like that

Actually it was a fun concept until the show ended but they didn't stop, it's like they want to make an unofficial sequel and have the sequel be completely about their fetishes and have that sequel be acknowledged in some way
Dude Mabel and Dipper where akward siblings about to go through puberty, it was never intended or shown they had chemistry in any way, you have to draw the line between what's porn and what's the show

The fans want to pretend to be something they aren't. ("I watch SU! Aren't I soooooo lovely and compassionate?!"

And/or think that by supporting cartoon lesbians, they are morally superior to everybody else. ("I cannot be a bad person. I support LGBTQAD+ people... in a cartoon, sure, but it's totes the same!."

Usually for one if these reasons
1.They don't like it and see it everywhere(FNAF)
2. Obsessive (anime)
3. One way or another ruined it (Undertale)

To be fair, Gravity Falls managed both to spread its airtime too thin AND get cut short, since Disney wanted a third season but Alex couldn't be bothered to.

Manchild applies to all genders retard

>but people can make whatever art they want and jerkoff to whatever they want as long as it isn't hurting anybody in real life.
In theory this seems sensible. But this kind of attitude can only go so far until something bad really does happen. Fandoms truly are like cults. Fandoms are often comprised of the socially inept. Those that are incapable of moderating their emotions. They encourage bizarre forms of group think and oftentimes unhealthy behavior. They tend to create a sort of mob mentality that, when ignited, have gotten people fired from their jobs and even driven to suicide.

Even the smallest and more innocent fandoms exhibit these symptoms. They are literally breeding grounds of antisocial and obsessive individuals. Ignoring them and pretending they don't exist will not prevent the damage they can do to themselves or others.

But there's nothing you can ever do about that, so why waste your time thinking about it?

Does it? Because I always see "manchild" and variations used to pass the buck on to guys whenever people start doing and saying stupid shit online, even when it's evident it's women doing said things. Kinda like when feminists drove Whedon off Twitter, then everyone said it was actually manbabies who did it.

I had a ton of fun in the Homestuck fandom, but what it evolved into legitimately changed Homestuck itself for the worse. The story fell into hideous shambles but at least there's like 4 gay ambiguously endgame ships and a non-binary character for all the fans to fawn over and buy merchandise related to, right folks??

Hussie was always tied in close with the fans and eventually that turned out for the worse. It made it better early on, though.

Yes it is for both. No one thinks woman don't act retarded

>Girl Guru
the storm did you a favor

>Another bad aspect is that it ends up being the named and trip people talking amongst themselves ABOUT themselves rather than about their fandom.
When it comes to generals on this board, nothing frustrates me more seeing trip/namefags and anons greeting each other like a fucking chat room.

>good morning, /sveg/
>how was your day, mackal?
>oh it was fine, I'm still unemployed and depressed. tried killing myself the other day
>OMFG. :( *hugz you*
>so, same thing tomorrow then?
>goodnight, /sveg/

I have literally never seen it used to describe a woman, ever.

That's cause everyone on the internet are dudes

The best thing to do is to ban general threads. Don't make it easy for generals to sprout here and to create a home for these people to rot.

You'll most likely never get rid of every disease in the world in your lifetime, user, but that doesn't mean you should neglect yourself and be unprepared.

As much as I don't like seeing 5 SU generals on the catalog everyday, a containment board for generals sounds like a nightmare

Seriously? That's fucking sad man. When was this?

...you don't think comparing losers on the internet to EVERY DISEASE EVER is a bit overdramatic? Shit, as long as we're hand-wringing, why not go further and argue that "just ignoring" fandoms is bad because "THE GOVERNMENT JUST IGNORED THE WARNING SIGNS OF 9/11 AND THIS IS EXACTLY AS BAD!"

It's on a smaller scale but the JSA Storytimes do that shit sometimes and it comes off as very cringy

The only overly dramatic bozo here is you.

Then the creators were harassed for "enabling" people to draw "problematic content", and now almost none of them do any online interactions thanks to that and other debacles.

This pretty much sums it up perfectly.

Look at that one board for example. These days actual episode discussions are active for maybe a couple hours, then everyone goes back to discussing borderline unrelated crap like alternate universes and plane ponies. 90% of the rest of the fandom is tumblr OCs and porn. This is the result of the fandom growing too big to be adequately nourished by official content, so it branches out into weird areas.

The bigger the fandom, ironically the higher the chance that you won't actually be able to talk about the show instead of dumb OCs, alternate universe crap and clique drama.

dailydot.com/parsec/steven-universe-fanartist-bullied-controversy/

Not too long ago. They made a few callout blogs for the artist, meant to compile all of her transgressions against issues important to the site. They included things like "drew this character in stereotypical Native American garb" and "drew character meant to be Asian with a skintone too yellow for my liking". The original Rose that everyone cited as her biggest transgression was drawn before we saw Rose in anything but her portrait and was always a ridiculous point to attack her on, even by their standards.

Even after the suicide attempt people tried justifying their dogpile by citing that she was already suffering from depression, household abuse, and the death of a pet, somehow missing the point that bullying someone who's depressed and abused is significantly worse, ESPECIALLY by the standards of the site.

I have seen this a lot with Undertale fandom
I have a friend who really got into the fandom and later became completly obsessed with fanfictions, she doesn't really care about the canon anymore

You can't outlaw art....sorry guy. If somebody wants to draw foot fetish porn of Donald Duck or write fanfiction about Sonic the Hedgehog being gangraped by the Might Ducks, you have no right to say he can't.

>see artists get bothered by tumblr users because they draw sexualizations of fictional characters
>people end up getting too bothered by those people to where they think it's not worth making content for those ships anymore

When did it start? This "anti" thing? I hadn't really been part of fandoms until Gravity Falls. It's just weird how tons of popular ships in the past would be "unhealthy" or something now and wouldn't get much attention.

Yeah Undertale is an especially bad case since it's just one short game but with a rabid fandom that needs to talk about something constantly.

It started with the politicisation of absolutely everything, something tumblr in particular has specialised in. Art can't just be art any more, everything has to MEAN something and they think all artists have an agenda behind what they create.

I'm just glad I don't give a shit, have thick skin and nothing to lose, everything I draw I draw for me, other people won't make me stop or change from drawing what I want to draw.

tumblr happened

>Even worse when fans start declaring their own works should be held in higher regard than the stuff they're supposed to be fans of in the first place.
To be fair, authors can be hacks as well.

>You can't outlaw art....sorry guy.
I never implied you could, famalam. I was never talking about the law either. However, website admins and mods hold all the power they want in regards to content. They can ban whatever they feel is disruptive or disengaging with the community of users.

Cred Forums is currently a home to general threads. The simple solution is to no longer allow this board to be a home to general threads anymore.

That doesn't solve anything. Generals aren't the problem, the whole community is the problem.

>That doesn't solve anything.
Of course it does. It dramatically increases the quality of Cred Forums. Before you reply with "well then there will just be X number of regular threads on the same subject". The answer is ban those too. Mods using moderation. Problem solved.

If we're talking about tumblr alone, there are too many damn people thinking how their "headcanon" is supposedly canon. People forcibly labeling characters even though the creator said otherwise. Bitching when they don't get "representation."

>ban everything popular from Cred Forums
That's taking Cred Forums's contrarianism to whole new level.

I have no idea what that has to do with anything I said...I was talking about rule34

In any case, generals should only be allowed when needed....IE a new episode premiere, series premiere, movie premiere, etc etc, when otherwise there would be too many threads on the board for one subjest

When generals just exist to be generals for no real reason because people are too lazy to make a specific thread about a show or just want an excuse to hang out in them, they need to go

However, if you think this board is bad about that you haven't seen shit, /mlp/ is truly the board that suffers mainly because of useless generals being allowed rather than making people post interesting topics, mods on this board from what I can tell are quite good at deleting pointless generals (for the most part)

Quality is relative. There are some generals I'd nuke from orbit but I've had the absolute best time in other generals. Even if they're mostly shitposting there's a great sense of community, you get a lot of creative types and ideas and art start bouncing around, and everyone gets well-versed enough in the details of the series that when an actually decent discussion starts everyone's on the same page.

That's the worst. Picture related.

The userbase using moderation is key as well. People say getting rid of Generals won't solve anything because then others will start making dozens of threads for every little subject. At that point, posters needs to learn how to regulate their own posting habits. Not everything needs it's own thread, and more than likely you can find an already active thread to make your relevant post. Everybody around here needlessly thinks in extremes, when moderation is key.

>There are some generals I'd nuke from orbit but I've had the absolute best time in other generals.
I really don't care about you or your experience with generals. They're all the same as far as I'm concorned, and the communities they garner are not conducive to a functioning board.

Generals are mostly containment threads anyway.
Just gotta stop people from going balls to the wall retarded with it.

To cite an example, a character named Wrathia from Ava's Demon is already married and has been confirmed by the creator that she and her husband loves her very much. Of course the fandom ignores this and labels her as lesbian.

>I have no idea what that has to do with anything I said...I was talking about rule34
Then why did you reply to me, and raise an entirely new topic? If you were replying to me, then I would assume you were discussing the same thing I was discussing.

Wait, for real?
There was a whole section of the story dedicated to how much the two fucking loved eachother.
He killed her old husband for her and wears his fucking skull as a trophy because she finds it sexy.

He willingly killed himself to attach himself to a lifeform soley to help her.

Wrathia made him her fucking KING. Bitch like that doesn't do that unless she fucking loves you a lot. Never mind that they apparently went right towards trying to start a family.

I want to cry.

Yeah, that ties into what said, kids on Tumblr started treating fandoms as a form of activism instead of a hobby. Of course, it's all a load of virtue signalling.

Because fandoms take things to an extreme that doesn't seem healthy, or seem off-putting to an outsider looking in.

Especially online where is even less filter and sometimes people take things to an extreme for shock value.

What I'm saying is that your taste isn't universal and your ideal Cred Forums would probably be awful to a sizable fraction of the people who come here. When you start banning based on personal taste you ruin the board a hell of a lot more quickly than any self-contained communities of fans making in-jokes and waifu posting, at least when the fans are given no recourse. For example, I think Cred Forums's thinly-veiled-pornography creative projects are stupid, but I wouldn't ban them for that because they're all having a fun time and it's not actually ruining the board to host them.

the creatures that inhabit tumblr can't understand love.

>I want to cry
fuck off autist

Because it's not fandoms you hate, it's young,unconstructive, vocal retards who try to influence things by yelling at creators instead of making their own shit.

Young retards have been ruining things since the beginning of time.

I think that's just a femanon. Autismos don't cry because of that stuff.

You know things have gotten bad with the virtue signalling when the MCU fandom practically has a safe space for writing sick shit. I miss when people would just write whatever the fuck the darkest part of their id came up with. PC fandom isn't in keeping with the spirit of fandom at all.

The downfall came when we started letting teenagers in. Used to be if you wanted to participate anywhere but FF.net, you had to at least pretend to not be underage. Nowadays you hear the "minor" excuse being thrown around everywhere to excuse some pretty heinous behavior, all while they're posting porn everywhere.

Obviously, people who frequent general threads like yourself would disagree with my assessment because general threads are your stomping grounds. That doesn't change my view at all.

There are all kinds of bad threads on this board, not just generals. I can easily agree to that. However, outside of blatant shitposting threads, there are no threads as consistently bad as general threads. Why? Because they are consistentlying made and remade throughout the the day, every day, with the same patterns all the time.

>I just hope I don't see any more fist fights break out at comic-con next year.
Why not? That sounds cool!

>One person said that SU was boring and it just spiraled out from there.
"No! I must defens the honor of my favorite show!"
Plus if they like SU I doubt they can fight.

Post more Star.

Let's just put the SU fandom in a room and let survival of the fittest take its course.

Princess Marco is better

>When did it start? This "anti" thing?
When the internet went mainstream.

Post lewds.

iturazkondea

I love this reaction image.

jealousy i think
the "weird side of fandoms" is really just the weird side of PEOPLE. the fandoms don't have a higher percentage of those than anyone else, it's just that "talking about a show you like" used to be nearly as socially unthinkable as what these weird fans are unabashedly doing. they don't see a difference.

The problem is that fans try and take control over their property. Look what happened to tumblrs favorite shows when the writers started pandering to them. They got so focused on meta and inside jokes they forgot to make a good story. The first two seasons of Sherlock were great. Everything after is a trainwreck.

The only one who would ask is someone who doesn't understand how shitty a thing it is

Creators need to set boundaries early on. Hopefully they start to be more careful about fan interaction for future shows.

Pokemon fans at least keep their autism quarantined. They don't try and force Gamefreak or the anime studio to make their fanfiction. They don't bully fanartists for the way they interpret their waifus. They don't give Yokai Watch games bad reviews because they get slightly better sales in Japan. They don't demand bad reviews for their games be taken down. And almost all of then grew up with the franchise instead of latching on as adults.

okay so basically

>two groups of faggots spend too much time on the internet
>one comes in contact with the other
>autism ensues

If you're a normal person, there's really no reason to hate a fandom, because it's just a bunch of faggots on the internet.

I often wonder with people who complain about threads is that why bother? If you don't like a thread then don't go to it

>If you're a normal person
Where do you think we are?

like this?

A place where autists complain about people being autistic.

Artists and shippers get harassed by crazy fans because they didn't draw the character the "right way" or they are shipping the "wrong ships".

if the show has a general, I hate it

Because of the annoying fucks that obsess over a page's TV Tropes page or something equally stupid make me wish I was dead

fandoms are inevitable of any popular media
fandoms are bad
therefore we should not have any popular media

make you really think

Cute Slut.

Because ignoring a problem doesn't solve it.

Monster Hunter has a pretty good fanbase. They bitch about the game, some might get into an elitist streak, but it's all good fun.

>things other people are doing that I can choose to ignore and not participate in are a problem
That sounds like pretty tumblr-tier logic.

It's more like don't add more fuel to the fire. It's pretty much tumblr logic to force problems into other people and berating them for not bothering with it, even though they have problems of their own.

bingo

It depends on how you look at it. If someone starts a fire in your house, is it tumblr logic to take steps to stop your house from burning down?

m8, you're not in every thread on Cred Forums at all times. At least I hope you're not.

I'd probably hate the people and discussions going on in a good two-dozen threads in the catalog at any given time, so my solution is to simply not open threads with an OP that pissed me off because there are a hundred more threads I can choose from instead. I think a lot of people go looking for things to be angry about, which is something as true of Cred Forums as it is of tumblr, just different things make them mad.

because many of time fandom can't takes any judgments and valid criticisms.

since almost everybody move out of /sveg/ to the discord, only a couple of anons and namefags go there to keep the thread alive or just to remember other anons that the show has a new episode or something.

>fandoms can't takes any judgments and valid criticisms.
Or jokes for that matter. Fandoms consider any minor slight against them be it a joke, or a critique as a full blown attack them. And everyone in the fandom feels personally insulted, causing them to sperg out like a nest of hornets in a batting cage.

I think it's perfectly reasonable to be annoyed by annoying things. It's a natural human reaction. Good for you that it doesn't bother you. That still doesn't fix the problem though.

That or that these individuals were just looking for an excuse to be hateful and violent. Truth be told, this is how I feel about this most of the time.

Fandom is cancer because the 'hardcore' fans are disgusting pedos/waifu zombies.

They degrade the very meaning of the word: fandom.

If we're going to make metaphors out of it, general threads for any given series are enforced to be self-contained and confined to the space of a single thread out of 100, so a better metaphor would be "if someone starts a fire in the fireplace is it unreasonable to put it out because you're afraid the whole house will burn down?" The answer to that is "it is pretty unreasonable, unless if the fire spreads further than intended," which is already mod policy for generals.

If I had my druthers I would ban half the board for liking terrible things I don't like, where the discussion is inherently terrible for being about the thing that I think is bad. Your personal tastes have no bearing on what other people should or shouldn't be allowed to discuss on "your" Cred Forums.

I wish this were true so that SU posters (as well as others) were instantly banned when posting outside of their general. Firefighters where are you?

I think people who cry about fandoms are much more annoying than the fandom itself

Or they can't take jokes in the sense that they take things literally.

mob mentailty

Fucking Emmy.

You've just reminded me there is something worse on than rabid fandoms, and that's people bringing fucking twitter drama here.

I sometimes think we should just have a /gossip/ board for all the teenage girls and adult men who act like teenage girls to bitch about "what x said to y". No amount of waifufaggotry or autism is worse than this aspect of Cred Forums.

>defending fandoms
BRAVO Cred Forums everyday you get more cancerous
is like you didn't learn anything after the pony thing.

Post Star LEWDS

What did we learn from that, other than that if you find the perfect bait that people will take every time you can ruin any thread with it?

It seems to me that if anything is the new MLP, it's mentioning SJWs.

Fandoms are a mistake.

Every fandom gets hate cause the absolute worst minority of every fandom gets the most attention and is assumed to be how the majority of the fandom (which comes down to just liking the show/game) acts.

it sucks but it's true. after the SU dilemma on tumblr with a bunch of emotionally repressed tumblrinas bullying a fan artist to attempting suicide, everyone started bashing it and deeming it as the worst fandom ever.

instead of fandoms, we should never talk about cartoons ever again, its the only way to not have them

please tell me someone has more information about this

The story never ceases to be fucked up. How can a fandom that likes a show for how much "love" and "tolerance" is in it shamelessly harass someone to the point of suicide?

Vocal minorities of fandoms can get pretty obnoxious.
Take Nolanfags for instance. They could keep talking for hours about how "profound" The Dark Knight was, insult the source material and other critically acclaimed movies, never shut up about how Nolan is a genius who can do no wrong and act as if TDK is a masterpiece and one of the best movies ever in general, not just one of best cape movies. Worst part is I'm not exaggerating, I actually met people like that.

They were pretty much "LE KINO XD" of its time, except not ironic. I'm glad The Dark Knight Rises became a laughingstock and knocked them down a peg.

Because they aren't and were never loving or tolerant people. They're just people who want everyone else to THINK they're good people.

This is their horrible secret, and the real reason Cred Forums and tumblr are at each others' throats so much - Because deep down we're the same empathy lacking misanthropes. But people here don't feel the need to pretend to be anything else due to our anonymity. We don't care about having a reputation, we aren't looking for praise or attention. tumblr people however are. They're just as awful, but they crave attention for others and being told they're good people. They want to be loved but know they don't deserve it, and will throw each other mercilessly under the bus if it makes them more adored.

tumblr is what happens when everybody is a tripfag.

It's been talked about here before but crazy fans of characters and "ships" have always existed like people called J.K. Rowling a stupid bitch for writing her characters the way she did because it didn't match their fanfictions.

At some point people realized if they attached "social justice" to their whining and bullying it would become more legitimate.

So if a fan artist gets popular, now you can just say he's racist to attack him and now it is a "cause" to yell about fan art. Or instead of saying you don't like a "ship" like in the Harry Potter days, now you can say people who like a couple are racist, abusive, pedophiles misogynists or homophobes, for every ship you can pretend there is a "social justice" reason people have to pay attention to you. Probably currently the worst in Voltron fandom where apparently two adults together is pedophilia.

It has even gotten to the point where creators now get harrassesed, a Steven Universe boarder named Lauren Zuke got harassed because she had cute moments with Peridot and Lapis instead of Peridot and Amythest, even though she was the one who wrote the very cute Peridot and Amythesy moments and starting people shipping that to begin with.

Instead of people telling her, "I like Amedot more than Lapidot" like they once would, people told her, "You are homophobic" though she is gay so she just fucked off of twitter. This has happened with a few different shows now, usually the writers just stop talking to crazy fans.

It is the same crazy entitled fan thing and bullying as always with some SJW bullshit pasted in.

Don't kid yourself.
He's great for being an enthusiast.

>Art can't just be art any more, everything has to MEAN something
tumblr didn't do that and it's not recent. Artists have been pushing that line for decades.

Oh as for where "antis" got started ironically it probably actually got started in the Gravity Falls fandom. For the first season the most popular ship was the two twin characters who are brother and sister together Mabel and Dipper so people started harassing Mabel and Dipper as a couple fan artists and may have bullied some out of the fandom. But where it really exploded, was probably when Bill and Dipper super popular as a couple overnight. Some tumblrinas decided it was pedo even though 99% of the pictures were just of some generic adult yaoi couple.

The thing is pretty much all the popular Gravity Falls couples were deemed pedo somehow or were incest or some other supposedly non PC thing so a lot of the fandom just seems to have ignore this kind of thing outside of this crowd, where they got more traction from what I've heard is in the Steven Universe and Undertale fandoms and shit where people would actually listen to them and take them seriously. Now, for new cartoons and anime they try to get in first to decide what is okay for everyone in the entire fandom to like and talk about, and harass anyone who disagrees with them and now they tell people they are authorities on shows because they are really the cartoon characters for real.

Generals are bad for community. They usurp discussion and then tainting it with shitposting, namefagging and other shit because the nature of general encourges posting something.

It prevents people who actually want to discuss the show from discussing the show, forcing them to either post outside the general hoping it won't get deleted or not discuss on-topic at all.

I understand it's upsetting to see people discussing something you don't care about all over your board, but it's better then gangrenous alternative.

Cred Forums is not a fire, it's a living organism. And general is like tourniqueting your limb until it becomes gangrenous.

I think that's true. People who are obsessive about anything and fall down the rabbit hole are creepy and weird unless they at least have self awareness. Things that don't matter become hugely important in their eyes, and it's all that matters, and sometimes they lose sight of reality.

But most people who talk about a show aren't actually like that. Most people just want to have fun and aren't bigger assholes than anyone else (and on the Internet, people are pretty big assholes in general). But the really terrible and delusional people are the loudest and get the most attention, as you see with Steven Universe fandom. Most people are actually probably fine but a few jackasses got a lot of attention to the point of showing up multiple times on Internet news sites like io9 and The Daily Dot.

Now some people have only heard of Steven Universe through Internet news sites and all the know about the show is that it has fans who are assholes to the point some avoid the show. Even though most fans are no better or worse than anyone else and are fine. A few bad apples spoils the bunch.
