Worst Fanbases. - retrolinkx - 08-05-2012 06:04 AM
What do you guys believe is one of the worst fanbases out there, or just in your opinion what are the worst fanbases in general.
Even though I do like sonic games, the Sonic Fanbase is pretty terrible, I mean just search "your name" the hedgehog see how bad it's become, all those terrible fan fictions about Sonic and Amy and tails and Shadow and Knuckles and Cheese and Rouge etc, along with the fan characters and the porn, we also have the ones that want this shit in the games, it annoys me.
The My Little Pony fanbase, Obvious this one.
Playstation Fanbase. I just don't like how because they believe they have excellent game and don't have to pay for online makes them superior to other consoles on the market, they also want to force this down your throat, if you say Nintendo is better and Sony steals everything "NO FGT URE WRONG" and thus a long argument ensues, of course this could be said for the Xbox fanbase.

Totally agree on Sonic and MLP
The Kingdom Hearts fanbase really annoys me...and creeps me out >.> The yaoi man...
I'm not a fan of the Zelda games, and I remember a bunch of fans raging at me when I posted that opinion online, constantly telling me how perfect OoT was. It was just an opinion .____.
Pretty much any of the tools, bots, or drones.
While Justin Bieber's fanbase is annoying, his haters are even more because of how much louder they are
RE: Worst Fanbases. - Xannidel - 08-05-2012 06:20 AM
Justin Beiber fanbase
MLP fanbase
Final Fantasy 7 fanbase
Xbox fanboys
Twilight fanbase
That one line in Skyrim that honestly was not that funny
Halo Fanbase
Hmm I can't think of that many others
The only time I really hear about the PSN being free and everything is in defense towards the Xbox fanbase trying to start more console wars. But whatever, everyone likes their own consoles and we don't need others trying to convince us otherwise.

I think you nailed the whole thread in the one sentence
Also, any fan of a console (or PC) who insults people who use other consoles. Everyone has their favourite, it doesn't make them a douche

What, no Cod fanbase too?
RE: Worst Fanbases. - G-Locke - 08-05-2012 06:45 AM
CoD does have a bad one too
RE: Worst Fanbases. - Zaliphone - 08-05-2012 07:09 AM
As a Playstation fan I am offended for what you said, yet also apologize for the dick baggery that happened.
I don't the CoD fanbase, some of the Valve fanbase, My Little Pony, PewDiePie, and the xbox fanbase. For the most part they think they get the best gaming experience because they pay for something they shouldn't have to pay for.
I also hate PC elitists, those stuck up pricks...

HAHAHAHA oh jeez how embarrassing to say Halo and not CoD, yes you are correct they can be pretty horrible.
I have not encountered too many PC elitists either
PewDiePie is just one of the few, I saw retsuprae mock one of OMFGCata's recent (well at the time) video of I Wanna Be The Guy Gaiden and they were really trying to act like white knight fanboys until OMFGCata stepped in telling them to go away. So I think it is just certain Youtube channels that are really popular that have those dedicated fanboys that attack anyone because they wanted to have some fun.

I'm not particularly internetty. I'm genuinely untouched by memes or fanbases unless I go looking for them. That being said, any insane amount of love for a franchise which is based on "lol we're not the target audience yay" grinds my beans.
The example that springs to mind is Harry Potter. Fucking everyone DEMANDED I read the first book. I thought, yeah, it's a nice enough kid's book but it's not for me. But SO many people in my age range just raved about it. If you like it, fair enough. But it's just a kid's book. You're a grown-up. Don't dick about dressing up as a wizard for the signing of the next book. Christ, read some Vonnegut or something. Whatever, just get a bit of perspective.
I'm not saying it's wrong to like something that's not aimed at you, but don't make a big deal out of it. It just comes across as awkward and weird.
RE: Worst Fanbases. - Symphony - 08-05-2012 09:32 AM
Pretty much every fanbase that shoves its game up people's throat. It's stupid and irritating the way Skyrim/Minecraft/Fpsgames do that. It REALLY pisses me off seeing a freaking screenshot/joke/video of one-freaking-single-game being spammed all over the internetz.
RE: Worst Fanbases. - Beware of Cuccos - 08-05-2012 09:49 AM
Twilight and any teen pop star.
Also, and this isn't really a fanbase-more of a type of fans- but those douchey frat boys that call themselves "nerds" or "gamers" because they play a bunch of shoot-em-up games.
RE: Worst Fanbases. - BumblebeeCody - 08-05-2012 10:06 AM
MLP, Justin Bieber and Twilight. Sure I find them stupid but they don't really annoy me. Nuudoru made good points about MLP before but I still don't find them as annoying as other people. Easy to ignore (for me anyways)
I find any fanbase I'm apart of that has idiots/creepy weirdo is the worst.
For example: I enjoy Final Fantasy 7, but after the film came out a bunch of creepy girls/boys join in an fantasise about how amazing it is despite not actually play it. The same can be said for Touhou. I play the game but get lumped into Internet 'tard who know the songs.
I think another crap fanbase is anything Japanese. Weaboos man. Anime/Manga/Games/Music, it's all good but the people nowadays...why? You're a white dude who was born in Brighton, you're not going to be Japanese.
And lastly, anyone who considers themselves a fanboy/girl. Mainly because being fanboy/girl means being biased.
Bitch about how crap CoD is but kiss the arse of Zelda with every game.
RE: Worst Fanbases. - Nuudoru - 08-05-2012 10:07 AM
The loud and obnoxious anime/manga fans. It's one of the few fanbases I hate that I actually have to be around at a worst case scenario. Weeaboo, as many call them, literally makes me feel ashamed of my hobby.
RE: Worst Fanbases. - Xannidel - 08-05-2012 10:16 AM
I enjoy anime/manga and will defend my favorites with as many facts as I can and try not to be too biased about it.
I may be white but I can still enjoy the Japanese culture.
Can you guys give some examples because I can't think of a single time i encountered a weeaboo or any other kind you mentioned.
I understand cosplaying is pretty important to some people and they actually make it a hobby which is equally awesome.

If you've been to an animecon and can't find a weeaboo the chances are that you are one.
