I think the worst video game fanbase in recent years is Skyrim's. Forget the awful memes that spawned from it like arrow in the knee and GameFAQs' Toeh, you couldn't legitimately dislike any one aspect of the game without getting a dildo up your ass from some of its fans because you don't think it's perfect. It's gotten a bit better, though.
Aside from that, there are a lot of bad fanbases. They all have their share of good fans that get overshadowed by the outspoken twats.

Oh I know. Bethesda hates the 'arrow in the knee' BS too. People who make games are hardly of the same intellectual capacity as mouthbreathers who latch onto games and suck them dry. To the developers something like arrows or cakes is just a funny one-off line that they think would lighten up the game, but to people who don't know any better that single quote is an entire goddamned lifestyle just about.
The thing that I hate the most now is the fact that IF I quote something... "mainstream" from a videogame, everybody will be all like "UGGH, stop SAYING that, it's getting SOOOO boring, everybody says it all the time!" But it,s not like I quoted anything a lot of times before! But now, I can't say quotes because everybody says them? That sucks!

Too bad. When a quote gets played out and you never had a chance to use it, you unfortunately missed out. You could probably get away with using it ironically a few years from now.
Actually, any fanbase at all. Yeah, you love x. So the fuck what. That doesn't give you a personality.
I'm not an internetty guy, sorry.
