    Used to be Star Wars. Then my interest fizzled altogether anyway.

    I feel like most sci-fi fandoms are like that. There are good bunches, then loud minorities that are either bigoted, excessive about details they don’t like, or both

      Yep, my enthusiasm about most everything fizzled because of the toxic nature of fandoms. The Satisfactory fan base is pretty chill though so that one is OK for now

    Rick & Morty for me. I thought it’s a funny show, at least the first couple seasons I watched of it. I stopped watching it because of how obnoxious the fans are, actually ruining the show for me. It got to a point where I’d watch an episode, hear a joke get repeated, and think to myself “Oh great, this will be the line that I hear everybody saying for the next six months”, to the extent that I get distracted by my own annoyance. Now I have this mental association with the show and the fans and I just can’t stand to watch it anymore.

    This was all before the shit with Roiland came out, for what it’s worth. But that’s another reason I struggle to enjoy the show anymore.

      on the last point: Roiland is now completely out. And the even managed to find voice actors who can copy the voices perfectly

    Anime. There are plenty of great shows I like, and seemingly no way to discuss them with people who are actually normal about it.

      I know it’s true about anyone way, waaayy too into their hobby, but some anime fans in particular need to chill way out, especially where it intersects with coming to Japan and being super creepy to others, particularly after a few drinks.

      Damn, this one is brutally true. Like all media, 90% of anime is crap, but the good shit is real good and half the people who are into it are weird gooners.

      Agreed.

      Also to point out that Anime itself doesn’t really help its own cause here. Every show, even the decent ones, will have some weirdly out-of-the-blue softcore porn scene or outrageous outfit on an underaged high school student with oversized proportions, which does nothing to bring the story further, before they go back to the best fight scene you’ve seen this decade.

    Cannabis. Most of the community is still pretty cringe and it isn’t the wonder drug people think it is; it is wonderful though.

    Cars. Love me some good engines and nice classic muscle builds, but Holy fuck I swear to christ 95% of all the mouth breathing troglodytes that are into “cars” but spend half of the show talking about God Trump this and God Trump that make me want to put my Cadillac in a fucking crusher.

      They assume if you’re not a fat alcoholic that you don’t know how to fix cars. They’re also repeating the same dumbass jokes like “replace your blinker fluid”.

      Yeah. Along the same lines is off roading. Can’t hit up an OHV spot without seeing a trump banner, some blue line decals, or a don’t tread on me flag.

        Decades worth of cultural work to be done to build men who arent scared and insecure little boys, war more likely to pull them back to reality unfortunately. And so it goes.
