How do bronies compare to other fandoms?

[Bendy 1,821]

I'm not saying Bronydom is a bad fanbase. But believe me, there's far worse than fanbases then I think we could ever become. 

 

So what are worse fanbases than us? Well let's list up some like football hooligans (Soccer fans) that have actually killed people that don't sport their team... in football? Wat?!

 

I know, not all the fans of soccer are hooligans. But still, have Bronies killed someone for being a non Brony yet?

Beliebers... That is all I've got to say

Damn you beat me to it!

 

1D fans maybe? Anyone who follows Miley Cyrus? There are so many.

 

OH! Juggalos!

[Discordian 6,015]

I dunno if there's really any fanbases better or worse, just bigger. The bigger they are, the more likely they are to have some pretty bad people in it. Fans who are overobsessed to the point of delusion (like thinking Twilight is legitimately your girlfriend and getting mad at people who like her too. Yes, this happened.) or shun people who aren't in the fandom to the point of driving them to suicide.

I was in the Chipmunk fandom before this and it was a nightmare... it was a fairly small fandom, but it was so unbelievably filled with negativity and hate... the big problem was that the Chipmunks are such a multi-generational franchise that you basically had about 3 completely separate fan bases all lumped together... basically imagine the brony fandom if there were just as many fans of every generation of the show, and they constantly argued.

The call of duty fan base is one of the most annoying

I don't mind playing CoD every once in a while but I sure am muting everyone in the game that I don't know

Yankees fans...the worst people in the universe. 

[The Mane-iac 1,648]

Beliebers... That is all I've got to say

 

That.

 

 

Also I'd have to say Apple fanatics can be pretty crazy IMO. No way would I stand in line for a device (get there days, weeks, months early), pay eBay prices, or kill someone over a phone. And then do it all over again the next year!

[SnipSnap 432]

Let's see...

Beliebers

1D fans

Pewdiepie fans (It counting PART of the fanbase, so if you do like Pewdiepie, that is fine as long as you don't count people who played the same games as Pewdiepie 'copycats', flame people for disliking, etc.)

[Malinter 3,064]

The sonic fanbase beats nearly everyone in R34 art.

[Megas 27,563]

Realistically speaking, disregarding obvious choices like beliebers and 1D'ers

 

I've had many terrible experiences with Starfox fans, it usually went like this:

>Claim to be huge fans of the series

>Vehemently slam every game in the series that doesn't have the number 64 after its name

>Relentlessly quote and scream every goddamn line in that game like a bunch of idiots

Yeah, not fun

 

Otakus are also a pain to deal with. God forbid I actually prefer to watch an anime in my language instead of reading it

[SomariFeyWright 776]

Beliebers... the Sonic fandom... the MMD community...

 

That's three right off the bat.

Comparing apples to oranges, there are tons of notoriously bad fandoms but bad for different reasons.

Yep, this one right here, other than that we're defiantly the worst. 

[ghostfacekiller39 23,860]

I don't think we're bad Eh.  To each their own, I guess.

 

Juggalos, though, are worse than any fan base.

[Frostgage 7,975]

Honestly, every community will have a lot of both good and bad, it's just the law of averages.

 

But as an avid Fifa player, I can say that almost everyone in the community is a competitive asshole that takes the game way too seriously. Except me of course.

Juggalos!

 

hahahaha +100000

 

 

Another bad one is quite obvious: League of Legends. I was actually pretty good at it when I last played (I was a nice guy!) but it was quite disturbing seeing new players get told to "die of cancer" by some of the more obsessive egomaniacs just because they don't have in-game experience yet.

Would the minecraft fanbase be a bit on the bad side? Since I expect very young kids to be on there, but there are older people.

I see that a lot when playing league, and it's funny to watch :3 Especially when you have a friend who can make the greatest comebacks ever.

Why are we putting down all of these other fandoms? Where is the love in that? Remember love and tolerate? We should treat other fandoms with respect and let them enjoy what they like and we can enjoy what we like. Fair enough?

[Mephala 2,633]

League of Legends

League is child's play compared to DoTA 2, since there's the added bit of the mic as well, so not only do people abuse you via text but also via voice chat.

Also, that's why you don't solo queue in a MOBA-styled game. The only reason people whine is because they solo queue and that's easily resolved; make a team.

 

The biggest problem I'd have in any fandom is with Star Trek; you should see the rage when someone dares to say Next Gen is better than "True Trek". It's a massacre.

Of course, there's also the inherent hatred many of us have for Star Wars, but those fights are a lot more fun than they seem. :-p

[Thrashy 2,800]

We're certainly not better than most fandoms (I'd say our crazies are about on par with crazies from anime fandoms), but I have to agree with Juggalos and Beliebers being some of the worst out there. I've read tweets in defense of Bieber's many poor choices as of late that would make your head spin...even if you had a room-temperature IQ.

I don't know. Every fan base has it's good and bad people so we're no different. Then again there are beliebers, directioners, and twihards

[Irish Mist 119]

Any fandom Tumblr creates. Within the one-three months people actually care about it you will see more porn, complaints and pointlessness than any other fandom out there.
