What video game fandoms do you despise the most?

Maybe not video games fandoms in particular, but in terms of fandoms in general there have been many that I didn't like at some point.

I used to dislike the Magic cards fandom, also the Pokemon cards fandom, and the Pokemon RPG games fandom, also the Pokemon show fandom, and the fandom of Pokemon related games.

In fact at some point I didn't like the Smash series because it had Pokemon characters, and they were important in the game.

I also use to dislike anything related to liking MMOs, MOBAs, or MMORPGs. It's not that I did not like the people, I just didn't like that they liked those things.

I now have moved on from that though, and I even own Pokémon RPG games on my New 3DS XL, and I own all the Pokémon Amiibos for Smash, but I still don't watch the show, or follow the lore.

I also didn't like Harry Potter fandom at all, Twilight movies fandom, Fifty Shades Of Grey fandom, or Hunger Games fandom.

I also didn't like the One Piece fandom, the Naruto fandom, the Attack On Titan fandom, and the Call Of Duty fandom.

Now I actually accept all those things, but a few years back I didn't like that.

The only fandoms I was actually cool with was The Lord Of The Rings fandom, and the Star Wars fandom. They never bothered me, and considering all the fandoms I didn't like they should have, but somehow they didn't.

I think Star Wars never bothered me because I used to own all the toys as a kid, and The Lord Of The Rings never bothered me because it reminded me of Zelda.

Zelda fandom is actually pretty hated today. I don't collect or buy Zelda related things besides a GameCube controller I have for the Wii U, and a protective case for the New 3DS XL, but I actually like that fandom.

Didn't we have a thread like this once?
Anyways, I've noticed one thing that a lot of shit fandoms have in common. It's when people edit or bite off of memes to insert their garbage characters.

Of course every fandom is gonna have at least one of these guys, but when you notice a trend of people posting and reposting this annoying shit outside of their respective fan forums/threads, that's a red flag.

I'm tempted to add the Deus Ex fandom to the list of fandoms that I hate the most; on one hand you have Human Revolution/Mankind Divided fanboys who have absolutely no respect for the first two games by Ion Storm or all the mechanics from them that Edios removed in HR & MD. Then on the other hand you have OG Deus Ex (as in, the 2000 original PC classic) fanboys who still to this day stop at nothing to absolutely TRASH Invisible War even if it means outright spreading blasphemies about it, almost as if they haven't played it. One thing that really pisses me off is when these gamers trash IW's physics engine, considering it was arguably the best pre-Half Life 2 physics engine on the market. I can confirm that the common criticism of IW's physics being "floaty" is not true 95% of the time.

Consumers aren't to blame for shitty games having poor sales.

Shit like that is always inexcusable, but to be fair, those people never represents the fans. Blaming the fans is usually a lame excuse for a shitty product. Disney were quick to blame the fans when people hated the new Star Wars movies and always brought up the example of people sending threats to the actors. It's awful, but it doesn't change the fact that their product sucked ass.

Here's another no-brainer that I somehow forgot to mention: The Streets of Rage fandom. Anyone who has a correct number of chromosomes SHOULD know that Streets of Rage 3 has superior art direction, gameplay depth, gameplay speed, difficulty level, storytelling, ect. amongst the original 3 Megadrive games, and yet for some reason most "gamers" claim that 2 is objectively the best entry in the series. Several of these "gamers" even have the audacity to say that 3 is the worst SoR purely because of its wildly inferior soundtrack, so they claim.

So with this said, it's no wonder to me why SoR 3 flopped commercially and why the beat-em-up genre started regressing immediately after its release, barring a few exceptions down the road like Guardian Heroes, Viewtiful Joe, etc.

The fact that there are fans out there who think SoR 4 is better than 3 just goes to show how contaminated this fandom is by stupidity and mainstream casual filth.
