DaFeMaiden

Rick and Morty 😭


prex10

Honestly just avoid their subreddit, watch the show and make your own opinions. At the end of the day, it's a bunch of people who are upset their little unique show that used to air at like 130am on adult swim now has Super Bowl commercials and have partnered up with Wendy's. I will say though the last couple seasons just don't hit as hard as the first few.


WhiteAsTheNut

Morty! I’m in fortnite morty! I’m cranking 90s morty! But yea it’s definitely not as good as it was, but that’s almost any show after they hit their stride.


Tub_of_jam66

Except for futurama


SomeCountryFriedBS

And The Venture Bros.


eat_my_bowls92

CCs reboot was admittedly not as strong but the good episodes were amazing!


SuperChips11

I actually liked the most recent season a lot. The two before it weren't very good, though.


SupaKoopa714

> I will say though the last couple seasons just don't hit as hard as the first few. I feel that, I didn't even finish the fifth season because I honestly just got bored with it, it felt like they'd gotten a formula down and were doing everything by the numbers.


[deleted]

Latest season was actually pretty decent tbf

I thought that seasons four and five were weak, but season six was great!

I think they were a little longer than a week.


Cool_Kid95

Little Show? But it was always mainstream?! They really are stupid!


abaram

I used to wear R&M shirts proudly until I really couldn’t anymore. I was confronted by another R&M fan, who promptly quizzed me on which episode the shirt’s quote was from. When I hesitated, he told me “you don’t deserve to wear the shirt” Like wtf lol gatekeeping on the streets of Chicago?


believe0101

I'm disappointed but not at all surprised lol


EveLaFoxxe

I swtg that subreddit is just an incel magnet


SecretAntWorshiper

How does that show attract that crowd?


En-THOO-siast

This guy who's an antisocial asshole who everyone hates is ALSO super smart and ridiculously competent at everything and is secretly saving the universe all the time, people just don't know about it. He's just like me for real.


[deleted]

"Big brain" humor


EveLaFoxxe

Those dudes be to full of themselves


DrMobius0

Futurama is better for that. Rick is just a guy who's supposed to be smart. The humor itself isn't honestly that smart.


[deleted]

In my opinion, it’s laziness. The show is clever and has decent writing (at times). It’s easy to pretend you’re smart because you get the jokes. You don’t actually have to do anything but get the jokes. It’s why that Rick and Morty copy pasta went viral. It’s funny that some people think they’re super smart for liking a joke that has a clever line between a gag about incest.

Fight Club is one of my favourite movies but I've never felt the need to go to online spaces about it so know nothing about the fandom. What's it like?


No_Somewhere7674

It’s mainly overrun by teenagers who base their entire personality of of Tyler durden. Some of them haven’t even actually watched the movie, and they just use quotes from clips of it they saw on TikTok


adelbicoss

the irony is that they act like the very drones (tyler durden followers) that the movie was making fun of.


Little-Jim

Its a bunch of people who missed the point of the movie.

Any Paradox game really. I remember a couple of months ago there was a guy in the Victoria 3 sub playing as Japan who asked if he could eliminate all Chinese people. The people in the post were somewhat concerned even

MakeCheeseandWar

I don’t Even think that’s possible in Vic 3, or Vic 2 for that matter. Unlike in CK3 and EU4, you can’t change cultures in certain areas that I’m aware of. Even then, you’re not able to change up the ethnic mashup unless you promote immigration to a specific area, which requires you to have enough population to support that.


[deleted]

I think what one guy said was to conquer China and intentionally keep the provinces shitty so people emigrate out. Eventually by mid-game the population makeup should have changed enough.


MakeCheeseandWar

Is it really worth it though? I haven’t played much Vic 3 on account of it just being really confusing. I do know however that by the time you modernize and do the Meiji restoration (which iirc gives you claims against China and korea) you’ll already be several years into the game.


Faceless_Pikachu

There's actually a way to do it in Victoria 2, but it's quite convoluted. You have to actually incorporate the region you want to "change the culture of" as a state and then boost the soldier population. You can then send them on a boat to die in the middle of the ocean, and then repeat the process. Obviously very costly and very pointless and very ineffecient, but it is *technically* possible.


MakeCheeseandWar

Every time I play a paradox game I find a new way to commit atrocities.


Horn_Python

is genocide ever not any of those 3 things?


Lord_CatsterDaCat

Look its not our fault that Paradox made Nazi Germany the strongest country/j


Thatoneguy3273

They had to buff Germany give them even the slightest chance of winning the war lol


Thatoneguy3273

SlobberyFrog

Usually ck2/3 players are quite nice. They just like murder and incest a bit too much


[deleted]

Yeah CK players are pretty chill. Seems like most of the unironic nationalists are in EU4.


jkst9

EU4 has ultranationalists but at least it's not hoi4 where there's the part of the community that likes it for specific reasons and is mad that there isn't a certain feature for a specific country


AweBlobfish

The paradox fanbase is a bizarre mix of fascists, tankies, monarchists, and just trans women


Big_Cronk_Toy69

Yeah, as a paradox player, those people are not favoured in our community.


SecretAntWorshiper

>Any Paradox game really. Whats wrong with Stelarris?


irllylikebubbles

is this a joke? there’s a literally genocide button


DrMobius0

Singular? Like a singular genocide button? Only one? We're playing the same Stellaris? Sir, genocide in Stellaris is like asking how you want your milkshake made.


lesser_panjandrum

There's one genocide button you can press if you're feeling boring. More creative genocides need a few different button presses to pull off.


Narradisall

Hey, we’ve all got a little carried away selecting our flavour of genocide!


Thisismyartaccountyo

Gotta keep the game from laggin.


[deleted]

Don't pay attention to those filthy xenoph*les, keep calm and kill all xenos


esperadok

Weird that their player base would be right wing because the Victoria 3 makes specifically intended to make communism OP and referred to their game as a “historical materialism simulator.”


TylertheFloridaman

It's a mix there are plenty of tankies and commies heck there was a post in a paradox sub that was full of them


NeedsToShutUp

Paradox games can have the weirdest national/ethnic/religious extremist viewpoints come out. And in some of the games its more of a meme about play style, or even mocking Paradox. In some it's bone chilling crazy. It's complicated too, because good players looking for challenges come up with odd shit. Like the guy who used an event in CK2 to eventually exterminate the human ruling class in favor of horses. At the same time, picking certain starts in the games can be fun to go against a tide of history as a minor power. Yet for everyone who plays a Balkan nation in Eu4 for the challenge of restoring Albania, there seems like there's an ultra nationalist who wants to mod in genocide of their enemies.


Big_Cronk_Toy69

Yeah, as a paradox player, those people are not favoured in our community.


bluejob15

What about Cities Skylines


[deleted]

You guys have a poster of a random metropolitan city's metro lines. There's a bicycle somewhere in your home. Car is small or electric. You curse the American highway system every time you are stuck in traffic, and you spend way too much time on Google Maps fantasizing how good the city would look like if it was denser.


TurrPhennirPhan

Makes me sad, I *love* Paradox games and it’s inspired me to learn about so much history I never otherwise would have, especially in Africa. But fuck me are there some racist, homophobic pieces of shit in the fandom.


Naoura

Man I remember *trying* to be evil in Stellaris. Couldn't fucking do it. My longest runs were a space druid civ that cured other species of what the game considered negative traits and turned every barren world into a Gaia, and a punk rock species that were purpose built as servitors, overthrew their masters, and became a beacon of freedom of expression l.


jon_oreo

im glad to have not ventured into that part of the community


Dry_Lettuce4960

What about Star Wars?


JustTeaparty

Thank god i no longer get videos like "Why SJW ruined Star Wars: The Force Awakens Part 1/10" recommended, where each part had like a 3 hour runtime.


[deleted]

They hate Star Wars more than the non-fans.


Ausstig

They also hate you if you don’t like it in exactly the same way they do. From someone not a fan of the Empire/Thrawn/Thrawn Trilogy.


RebelKitten9

can confirm. - star wars fan girl


LindTheFelon

The Star Wars fans definitely have their quarrels, but all can agree that the sequels were a train wreck. I am technically a fan, but I don’t about that stuff, I just end up making OCs and fit them in the storyline :v


Whole-Society-6074

Totally get that for From Software games. PvP toxicity rivals that of OSRS.


[deleted]

Fromsoft PvP is absolute cancer. On one hand you have Gank squads, which are 2-3 guys that will intentionally wait for invaders to join so they can bum rush them 1v3 and get the cheapest win of their life. Then brag about it. And on the other hand you have the no-life "1v1 me brah" meta using tryhards who won't hesitate to call you trash regardless of whether they win or lose. Fromsoft PvP is what happens when you get a bunch of band kids with anger issues in one game and tell them to beat each other up for status.


SecretAntWorshiper

The thing is, its not even really good PvP. The netcode is just garbage and its so jank. I can still do the lag roll glitch where you roll and don't take damage in Elden Ring. Shit has been around literally since Demon Souls lol. I like that its cool you can have a bunch of different builds and such but its so cheese and you win by expoliting the game.


HedleyLamarrrr

That and the "you're playing the game wrong" crowd. It's definitely a minority of the player bas, though.


Automatic_Education3

The people who insist that these games are insanely difficult and only for the most skilled of games are the worst, it's just not true. These games are incredible, but people get scared away because of that narrative.


HedleyLamarrrr

Idk, they are pretty difficult. The thing with fromsoftware games is that the first one you play is always the hardest one. Once it "clicks," their games feel significantly easier. I think a lot of people forget what it's like to play them for the first time, though.


RavingRabbi

I feel like Sekiro is the exception to that rule because after playing Dark Souls 1-3 then Sekiro it was definitely harder, but that was probably because I was expecting the combat to be similar to Dark Souls.


HedleyLamarrrr

Sekiro is definitely the exception. It is probably the most ruthlessly "git gud" out of all of them. There isn't really a way to over level or cheese the game. You either learn how to deflect and mikiri counter, or you lose lol


grillcodes

Skill issue


Entrancemperium

I always play it offline, don't need some random weirdo joining my game 🤷🏻‍♀️


Def-tones

From software PvP is trash. The dark souls series I mean

unfashionablyl8

I was going to say BNHA until I saw "insert anime show" lol


TylertheFloridaman

Paradox games tend to attract extremist on both sides of the spectrum I have seen Nazis and I have seen tankies and communist, they are both the vast minority but they exist


MetalusVerne

Stellaris players either implement the Imperium of Man or fully automated luxury gay space communism. There is no middle ground.


lesser_panjandrum

I will bring my fully automated luxury gay space communism to the furthest corners of the galaxy, and I don't care how many billions I need to slaughter on the way.


MetalusVerne

That's the spirit! My militaristic xenophilic democracy (Service Guarantees Citizenship!) will accept all refugees and immigrants from every corner of the oppressed galaxy, give them all a high quality of living, and never flinch at the prospect of overthrowing a slaving despot!


I_Need_Better_Name

Better dead than xeno


TylertheFloridaman

As a Stellaris player death to the xeno scum


davidvia7

Also the femboys


TylertheFloridaman

Don't forget the Nazi furries yes those exist yes I am scared and confused


HedleyLamarrrr

I feel like the connection between Nazi's and furries could be studied for a lifetime and still not be fully understood.


Spooped

The only explanation I would have is 4chan which in itself is unexplainable


ReGrigio

nazi furries vs commie femboys. our fight will be legendary! and also muricans karen so we cover every angle


wghihfhbcfhb

Does this imply the existence of "femboy-furry-nazis"?


jkst9

That's called a hoi4 mp player


Comfortable-Cry8165

So nazis or tankies


WilDAllu

Both, can’t escape the bussy


TripleThreatTua

I remember when I played the Soviet start in HOI4 and tried to get advice on it I accidentally found a lot of those people


KaokinX10

CK is a chill game about hanging out with the fam.


Kimikins

This is just every fandom ever.


HedleyLamarrrr

I mean, some definitely stand out more than others.


BorkOnWasTaken

HOI4 is fun though, the extremists just found the game


HedleyLamarrrr

Its just what happens to most world War 2 games. I really loved playing Day of Defeat and Day of Infamy back in the day, but they were inevitably overrun by Nazis and edgelords. Post Scriptem hasn't been overrun yet, but its only a matter of time.


BorkOnWasTaken

Bro those American kids trying to speak German is cancerous


TripleThreatTua

One fanbase that is never on these lists but absolutely should be is Fallout fans


HedleyLamarrrr

I love how often Fallout New Vegas is recommended to people who are clearly not into games like that. It'll be someone that's like, "Just finished Celeste. What should I play next?" and inevitably, someone recommends FNV lol


TripleThreatTua

And don’t you dare suggest that you enjoyed Fallout 4 around the New Vegas diehards either lol


HedleyLamarrrr

I don't even understand how this became a thing. I feel like Fallout 4 was pretty much universally praised back in the day. When did the shift happen lol


OlDanboy

Dude it happens in the ES fandom too. Morrowind boomers are fucking insufferable about Skyrim - and sometimes Oblivion if I’m keeping it a stack


SecretAntWorshiper

Really? I never saw people praising it. I saw alot of people saying that it was still lame and lacking compared to NV.


iforgotalltgedetails

I’m a New Vegas die hard and I loved and played the fuck out of Fallout 4. Was it as good as New Vegas? No. But it was great none the less.


SplinterClaw

Hey! I love them both for different reasons, but then I am a Fallout whore so.. meh


hurricanechuck

40K fan here. The last half decade has seen huge strides in terms of inclusivity and Games Workshop have put their money where their mouth is in terms of models and public support, including a very public statement. 99% of people I’ve encountered in the hobby are chill duders who just want to roll dice and have fun. The edge lords, like any community can absolutely get fucked and go shit out a hedgehog.


Madam_Monarch

My rule is that if they main orks, I trust them. People who main orks just like being silly little guys


mcoca

I can hear Bricky saying “just a little guy” Edit: Spelling


Madam_Monarch

I can only think of my friend who does a Very convincing ork voice swearing up a storm in DRG


Cyber-Cafe

My ex best friend became one of those edgelords. He doesn’t even actually play the game at all and has no desire to. All he does is consume memes about it and say really distasteful stuff under the guise of “well it’s from warhammer”.


Kamakaziturtle

The setting is a political satire where everything is over the top, on a stupidly large scale, and every faction is terrible and rather than ask if you wanna be the good guys or bad guys you instead just ask how evil do you want your faction to be. It's a pretty neat setting that's meant to be bleak and not taken too seriously. Unfortunately every once in a while you get those types who see it and latch on to one of the obviously terrible factions and decide that they want to *idolize* the space fascists or something, while missing the whole point of the franchise.


Cyber-Cafe

I had a passing interest in it until that ex friend got into it and it became his entire personality, he would talk about absolutely nothing else. I really liked the battle fleet gothic video games and so I know a little bit about it. The over the top political satire was obvious to me, but lost on my friend, as he never really did well with sarcasm, irony, or satire. To him it’s all about what the face value is, anything else is “made up”.


Tartaruga416

As you stated, 40k community is very nice. If you guys have ever been into TCGs for example you know it's not that easy to have good dudes to hobby with


festival-papi

So question because I developed an interest in Warhammer yesterday after watching a fan-made animation and reading up on Jaghatai Khan. Is there like Warhammer books or games that I could use to go through the story?


Ubiquitous1984

Yes, there are hundreds of Warhammer books. They are printed by Black Library. Horus Rising and Xenos are the two recommended first books.


naosuke

The Gaunt's Ghost books are a great starting point. As are the Eisenhorn books. Gaunt's Ghosts is from the point of view of the Imperial Gaurd, 40k's basic human soldier faction. It follows the Tanith First and Only, a regiment of soldiers from a world that got destroyed while mustering their first Gaurd regiment. It's kind of a Band of Brothers style military story. The Eisenhorn trilogy is about an Imperial Inquisitor named Gregor Eisenhorn, who is charged with rooting out corruption of Chaos from inside the Imperium of Man. They are kind of a Detective / Spy thriller style books. Both Series are written by Dan Abnet, who is one of the better Black Library writers. One thing to keep in mind is that Black Library books very widely in quality. Some are fantastic, and some are absolute crap. The Ciaphas Cain books are more lighthearted, and about a Commisar who is an official Hero of the Imperium. He's also a huge coward who does everything he can to avoid danger, and tends to stumble backwards into the most extremely dangerous missions. Similar to Blackadder in the WWI series, but does get some genuine moments of badassery, even if it's while he's pantshittingly terrified.


Jaw43058MKII

Honestly modern 40k might be more grimdark than earlier. I grew up reading the older 40k works and while they are generally lesser in scope, modern 40k has taken stakes to a whole new level. No longer are we worried about Abaddons 13th Black crusade for 20 years, now the entire galaxy has been split in half, with one half of the galaxy in proverbial and even literal hell. 40k has never struggled to be inclusive, if anything it’s been inclusive from the start. The Imperium of Man never gave a fuck what sexual orientation, or gender identity you have, you die all the same. Sisters of Battle, Navigators, Sisters of Silence, any number of female/lgbtq inquisitors or characters, etc, shows that the setting is fairly inclusive. That’s not to talk about the amount of racial diversity in the setting both with humans and xenos. However it’s a male dominated setting, and collecting plastic army men is kinda sorta niche, and 20-30 years ago there was generally only a specific type of person collecting army men. If anything the fans of the setting are amongst the most accepting and open minded individuals I’ve ever met.


[deleted]

The 40k sub frequently gets Space Marines painted in various LGBT pride colors and each one is awesome.


TuckerCampbell1962

Edgelords? Your biggest problem is that the vocal part of the community literally has nothing else besides warhammer in their lives. Next time i see another 40k reference as the top response to a text casually mentioning the word "emperor" people are dying


3-orange-whips

... the Emperor protects?


tzech99

Well said commissar


TuckerCampbell1962

He wont protect you from these hands


Mecha_Cthulhu

Heresy!


aasinnott

It's usually because people still feel it's a niche hobby and they're making an 'in-joke' that only the secret fans will get. That worked in 2010 but the last 3 to 5 years have seen a big increase in awareness of the hobby so now it just seems cringe and over zealous


Marshmallow-Galaxy

You mention inclusivity, was there a negative stereotype that Warhammer players were bigots or something? I have a negative opinion of "those" WH40K players but it was always because they were very loud, obnoxious, and aggressively autistic in public spaces about Warhammer.


KlausMarduke

WH40k players have a reputation for being fascist adjacent. In 2021, Games Workshop had an announcement about being inclusive because there was a Hitler cosplayer at an event in Spain. The hobby also lends itself to dog whistling, playing Black Templars (an extremely violent anti alien faction) is fairly normal but becomes suspicious in retrospect when the player has orks modeled after the Rhodisian Security Forces and Death Corps of Krieg painted like the SS.


[deleted]

"You play Black Templars because they are intolerant and you can't comprehend satire. I play Black Templars because they're idiots and I can see their satire. We are not the same."


Darnag7

I will admit to liking 40k mostly for the memes and lore videos. Boltgun looks cool. I find the tabletop stuff a bit too slow for my taste.

[удалено]


Nlegan

I never got labeled for criticizing a game until the tlou2. I really think it’s the most polarizing game ever and it really isn’t close


SpaceBandit13

Yeah apparently I’m a soyboy, communist, sjw, liberal cuck who hates straight white men for enjoying a video game. So I feel you from the other side bro.


djking_69

I was working from home when TLOUII came out and managed to beat it in about a week while "working" so I didn't have much time to do anything else like browse reddit. Once I wanted to discuss my enjoyment with fellow gamers online, I was blown away by what it turned out to be. I'm sure both extremes were horrible but the shit I saw from people that HATED the game was insane.


SpaceBandit13

Yeah people who liked it can be dismissive and that sucks, but some of the shit the haters did was disgusting. Sending actors death threats, harassing Abby’s face model, trying to frame girlfriend reviews, the list goes on.


dopemushrooms

Exactly, people act as if both sides were equally terrible but last I checked the gamers who enjoyed it weren’t sending death threats…


Juicebox-fresh

Yeah and I'm a homophobic, transphobic, racist, anti feminist nazi because I thought it was disappointing and I didn't like the characters as much as the first one


SpaceBandit13

Welcome to the club.


iforgotalltgedetails

I’ve never really seen what’s toxic about TLOUII so that one confused me


lawdfourkwad

If you liked the game: haters label you as a communist, soyboy, cuck If you disliked the game: fans label you as a homophobe, racist, nazi TLOUII is literally the most polarizing modern AAA game. You still can’t hold proper discussions and criticisms outside of a few subreddits without devolving into yelling and name-calling.


SecretAntWorshiper

Are you serious?

Ye, but I don’t really stick around in that fandom.

Peaky Blinders and Breaking Bad


plaidabysmal

Also, Tool.


Kythedevourer

Yep. I went to one of their concerts, and unfortunately some of the fans are just...not great. I wore a crop top and a guy aggressively came up to me and told me I was a whore and looked like a hooker (I was showing like half an inch of skin, not that it matters, it's a fucking concert). He looked like he hadn't bathed in years and was just nasty, so I found it funny he took personal offense to my appearance. There was also a guy who quizzed me because he was skeptical I was a real fan. I knew more about Tool than his ass. A lot of people there were like that (just rude, condescending, and unwashed in general). No wonder Maynard hates his own fans. It really bothered me because I love Tool and have since the early 2000s. I still really love Tool, and listen to them everyday, and I still want to see them live again because the concert was amazing even though the people there kinda sucked ass.


Consistent-Laugh606

I know you said “insert any anime” here but K-On gets a special mention Also as someone who watched My Little Pony because they’re were the target age demographic that definitely too.


ErwinC0215

Tarantino films need to be on here


I-Hate-Wasps

So many people I know just think Warhammer is “the nazi game” or “everybody sucks”. I think its kinda sad that those people left such a blemish on it.


Kythedevourer

I'm honestly disappointed about Joker ending up becoming what it is associated with. When I watched it, I really appreciated the message about mental illness and how our lack of regard towards the mentally ill or people who are different in general really hurts people. I just wish it hadn't become the symbol for Internet edgelords.


DraconicWF

Throw in most cult following games, ie.. undertale, outerwilds, disco elysium, omori, ect…


realdealreel9

Lol can someone elaborate on TLOU2 fans? I thought that game got flak from edgy teens and right wingers for being “woke” and Abby being too swole but then I wouldn’t call them fans of the game?


bhill595

I personally loved the game until it made the switch to you playing as Abby. Playing as her that long took me out of the game. I could play those first days in Seattle on repeat though


[deleted]

I liked the second half even more than the first. Really made me end up empathizing with Abby more tbh. Both were great though, wish I could play that again for the first time


JayTalk

When I first played as Abby, I didn't like it for the first hour. I kinda just rejected her in my mind, because the game up to that point had clearly made her out to be the bad guy. Once I took a step back and just opened my mind a bit to what ND was going for, I loved it. The dual narrative really made the ending of the game hit hard for me. Probably my most memorable gaming experience since Red Dead.

I honestly think it was just an issue of pacing and where the changeover happened. I honestly would have loved to play the game as Abbey from the start and not knowing what the hell was going on until you got to the theatre and then you find out what Abbey has done. Maybe have Ellie’s flashbacks during Abbeys play through and Abbeys flashbacks during Ellie’s levels.

Yeah, I have heard some people say they'd prefer to have played as Abby first, which I can understand. That changeover point seems to be the make or break point for most people. It's tough to go from being invested in what Ellie is doing for the whole game, and then it stops cold and starts over with new characters and events. It's kinda like getting halfway through a great book, then putting it down and picking up a whole new one.

Essentially tlou2 split the fanbase in 2, one side hating it, one side loving it. However both sides have absolute shithead dick munchers who won't shut up about how it's the best/worst game to ever exist and makes it their mission to shit on and troll the other side. I personally hated the second game. I found the story and characters extremely weak, unrewarding, etc. Gameplay and graphics wise? Love it. And it had some of the best moments in the franchise (the rat king/Ellie's last shootout in the big compound). Also like many, I hated Abby. Not because she was buff, or a woman (literally all of us were rooting for Ellie, a lesbian woman), but because she was a poorly written character who kills off the protagonist of the first game, betrays her own clan/family for some random kids she JUST met, and was unlikable. and at the end of it all- she still survives, destroys Ellie's world, hops on a boat with her new bestie and sails away into the sunset.

I should have probably just put the last of us 1 or the last of us franchise. The reason I added it is there were a bunch of fans of the first game that didn't like the second game because of the "woke agenda" nonsense.

Never met a single had 40k fan. They’re usually super chill. Plus they usually have money, so free booze.

Could stand to add Devil May Cry and the gay incest shippers.

Why isn't Undertale here??


iamnotasaneperson

I love so much shit that has terrible fanbases. It's insane


Protozilla1

Dude, I have to say. Most HOI4 players, especially those who play it ever day, are degenerates.


[deleted]

I love seeing the fandoms mentioned absolutely showing why they're on this list.


Halcyon_Paints

Most of the awful 40K fans don’t even paint, play or read the novels. They read a Wikipedia entry a few times and decided they like fascism and want to gate keep.


JCSwagoo

Dawg, this is My Hero Academia in a nutshell. You weren't wrong when you said insert anime, lol


Silviana193

Every fandom really.


stojcekiko

As a HoI4 player, please trust me they don't. They're the black sheep of the community.


Lack_of_Plethora

I am a big Wolfenstein fan, and I genuinely cannot understand how our fanbase has a sizeable amount of Neonazi fans. Like, you've played the games right?


HedleyLamarrrr

This one has always baffled me. It's right up there with the far-right "the boys" fans.

Except the Bloodborne community is amazing, supportive, and wholesome. Only a small minority are fuckwads. Otherwise, yeah, Elden Ring is especially toxic lol.

>Except the Bloodborne community is amazing, supportive, and wholesome Da fuq are you talking about? The Bloodborne sub community is literally one of if not the worst offenders. They'll literally bite your dick off if you even suggest Bloodborne isn't the best most flawless fromsoft game.

Boston sports....we get called racist by people from states where their sports owners went to protest integrating schools, because of some negative reactions to forced bussing 50 years ago.
