Recently, a topic was started that concerned the world's worst fanbases. Now my question is, who do you think are the worst kinds of people in these fanbases? Or what things that fanboys do annoy you the most?

I hate the kind of people who disregard common sense and proclaim that them and the things they love are perfect in every way.

Surely that's the only kind of fan you can hate? Fanboys are just fanboys, but I can't think of any other annoying types of fans.

Oh no, there's plenty.

How about fanfic writers who consider their (usually terrible) work to be not only better than the source material, but canon? (especially when it condradicts it) And then there's the ones who try to publish it...

Fans who, when someone points out a Plothole, or registers a dissenting opinion, turn into the sort of rubbish who make Fred Phelps, or the Radical Islamists, look sane.

Since when has the word for "someone who disagrees with you" been "troll"?

People who want to have and/or create the religion that was made up for the show/film (like Jedi).

Dressing up is fine, but when you start believing you're living in the source material, then it's time for the white jackets and an expensive psychiatrist.

Oh yeah, and those that know absolutely EVERYTHING about the show, rabidly collect the memorabilia and promotional crap and never shut up about it.

The Furry Fan who loudly and routinely proclaims that the fandom is "about" their personal sexual fetish and everyone who's not into that can GTFO. This singular type of individual is the direct source of 90%+ of furfandom drama, and usually they picked up their behavior in whatever fetish group they already belonged to before grafting themselves onto furries. -:P

Shippers, goddamn I hate shippers. I used to just let them be, but their persistent whining on any sort of open forum about the subject, has just driven me to hate them.

For particularly bad examples, check out any Avatar : TLA forum or Harry Potter forum.

Again, I've seen Sonic fandom shippers being crazy enough to compete with the rest.

Twilight is making MERCHANDISE for ship wars.

There's two flavours of Transformer fan around this time of year (Con season, with Botcon and SDCC being where all the big news is announced). Those who proclaim from the little we see of a forthcoming project that that new project is terrible and shit and will suck. There are also those who proclaim from the little we see of a forthcoming project that that new project is awesome and wonderful and will be the best thing ever.

Know what? I find both annoying. There's not enough information to damn Prime, but by the same token there's not enough to praise it either. Me? I'm unimpressed, but I'd rather know more before I make a serious judgement. Either way right now, the only thing that interests me are the Decepticon Car Troopers, who look like the Earth form of the ones from WfC. Here's hoping we get Earth forms of the entire set... On both sides.

You mean a full blown war, rather than the skirmishes of the older series?

DO WANT.

Don't bet on it. Odds are there won't be Autobot Troopers, more's the pity.

WfC was a proper robot war. I can only hope Prime continues on in that regard.

Not really.

I think the Bayverse stuff is shit, but Animated is by far and away the best thing we've ever gotten. Ever. Just because I can't stand one aspect of the line, doesn't mean I think a toyline older than I am is the only valid form.

As I said, blind fanboyism is just as bad as the Geewunner mindset.

I'm going to take a rant so be forewarned.

I hate Twilight film fans, not twilight fans, Twilight film fans, you know the people who claim that Twilight is better than LotR/Star Wars/Whatever because "It FUCKIN' WELL IS!" And that it is Loyal to the book, even though it isn't... it's nothing like the book.

When they finally do admit it isn't like the book, they start slandering Lord of the Rings because it's not like the book. Whoa, hold-on there dearie, the Lord of the Rings is like the book, not because of the plot or the characters, but it has the Feel of the book, the Ethos of the book.

AND then they start bashing LotR because twilight is sooooo much more epic, No it ISN'T LotR It the best film of the century, it Is Epic, but more than that it the Epic-ness in LotR is created by emotions, conveyed by fine ACTING, not just Because it has the best film score in the history of music, -which it does since it rivals the beauty of Verdi and Puccini the greatest opera composers ever to have lived.

While Twilight is all talk, it only tries to be epic because if it isn't it will flop, the entire genre of deep, dark, bad stuff happening was ruined by LotR because it along with a few other choice film set the standard so high any film director that is trying to change cinema history will fail because he will never be able to get there because he's trying to win awards and make money, honestly I'm sick of everyone trying to "Push the boundaries."

I haven't seen a really brilliant film since LotR I'm not saying LotR is the best film in the world, it really isn't, it's not my favorite film either, but by god it's bloody good it is so much better than anything else recently.

Then the twilight film fan will start to say, -usually very loudly- that the stuff that isn't in the films but is in the book is shit. and that the main male leads "SPARKILZ" is "Teh BEz ACTING EVA" Christ sake Count Von Count could knock the sparkle off him! Vladimir Putin is more convincing.

At that point they will walk away in tears, hit you, or start yelling at you.

Making out that twilight is the best film ever is like saying that Paramore is better than Pavarotti they just aren't there not in the same class.
And for reference LotR would be Frank Sinatra And Star Wars Elvis.

End rant.

The Twilight films and books are terrible and even the actors playing in them hate them.

To buck the trend, let's talk about the nutters. The people who are convinced they are literally married to fictional cartoon animals. The people who think their fanfic is canon. Basically anyone with a massive ego, delusions of grandeur and all the likability of a rabid ferret.

I love these people. They make very entertaining ED articles.

Ah CWC-a walking apocalypse of horrendous ideas in one fucked up individual.

For me it's-People who won't acept flaws in thier fandom. Yes it's awesome, hell I might even love it myself. But denying the flaws erely undermines your position and paints you as a lunatic. I may be a fan of 40k (For example) but I accept how overblown and (over costed) it's gotten. Doesn't decrease my love for it.
