Fandoms You Left and Why

[Cl0udChaser 3,006]

I was a spongebob fan around early seasons and stopped watching it around 2011 or 2012 because it wasn't good anymore and ran WAY TOO LONG. I don't care anymore.

Hmmm... I'd say Homestuck, though I hadn't really left it as sort of drifted away during one of the larger pauses. I do hope to find the time to get back to it someday, though.

Only one I've really "left" per say is MLP. I wasn't too much part of the actual fanbase in the first place, but I've really soured towards it since the last season of FiM. I will say the show is (mostly) good, but around mid-way through the final season I started to really not particularly care to watch more of it... Mostly because I moved on to other things, but also because of (at least here) the fandom becoming less friendly at a certain point and also because I just felt like I didn't like the show as much anymore.

 

I haven't really left other fandoms... Most of them I either didn't have enough interest in to care for the fandom, or I would still consider myself a fan of.

So regarding anime... yeah, the fandom is far too chaotic because people have absolutely no idea what they're even on about. As much as I love anime, if people are gonna get triggered over specific shows that are either good or bad, then I want no part of it.

Seems majority of fandoms are just going down the gutter because of variety of BS reasons. And don't get me started on Fortnite either. I never played the game and never will. And I don't even want to know what the Fortnite community even looks like.

Partially left the MLP fandom at first because I have met creeps from it to be blunt about it. Several. Plus I wasn't impressed with the third and fourth season, so I just stopped caring about it.

I'm also less into the Nintendo and Pokemon fandoms because fans are just so toxic and treat the creators so badly for no reason. There is nothing wrong with criticism and reviewing a game but generally some of these people will never be satisfied.

I'd also leave the furry fandom for reasons I won't explain but in general because of the drama and toxicity. I can't really leave though because I still draw what I want to draw and create the characters I want to create; so regardless as a artist I will be given the label.

Furry, Became way too toxic and too many problem people

[Ricebug 555]

I left the mlp fandom around the time Twilight got her wings. The show just wasn't entertaining to me anymore. Although I love these forums and have a lot of memories so I am reviving my dead account.

animal crossing's fandom is whack and new horizons is sorely disappointing

Anime: I don't find it amusing or entertaining anymore. They all have cliche plots and characters. I did have a giant anime phase when I was 11-13, then I just stopped caring.Also because it became a competition, like who watched how many animes and what not.

Furry: I guess I was discouraged by others ''eww furry k*ll yourself'' ''furries are zoophiles'' ''you're into animals?'' etc. Yeah, you shouldn't let people do that to you, but I got tired of everything and stopped drawing animals and posting anything furry related.

Kpop: I got sucked in in 2015. Back then the fandoms (international) were pretty small, liking kpop was considered weird, there wasn't many non korean fans. I stopped listening to kpop cuz I really got into other genres like metal and punk. I don't hate it, I sometimes listen to my ex-favorite groups but it's not rly my ''thing'' anymore, plus fandoms are toxic as heck.

This fandom for a couple of years or so, I just got bored with MLP. Obviously I ended up coming back

I partly left it from my pre teen anime phase due to the dumb dubs are inherently better BS . Bruh, I’ve just heard Bernadetta’s Japanese voice clips in Fire Emblem Heroes and I immediately cringed .

it’s like they wanna put the same archetypes over an over. Like Camilla in Fire Emblem Fates. In fact, that game better be called Fire Emblem Anime Clishe fest

Jpop/Kpop/pop stars - I never really stopped being a fan of these groups and artists I listen to. It’s just due to how toxic the fandoms are I stopped interacting with them. The moment I stopped really interacting with the fan bases the happier I became listening to the groups and artists I loved.

I was into Pokemon in elementary school, when there were 150. When the lyrics said "and more to see", I thought it was a joke because now there's almost 1,000 of them now. Lordy.

not sure exactly if it counts as a 'fandom' but i left the Hypixel forums because it was toxic af
