This is a huge post of generalizations, as I keep repeating. Don't get offended if you like any of these things, chances are I'm okay with it. I'm just a savage. Ok, this is a weird one but hear me out. Yandere Simulator has a bunch of younger, edgy-wannabe fans who think being insane is cool and killing people is funny. Scroll down the comments of mostly any Yandere Simulator video, and you'll find them. It's hilarious, trust me. Undertale. Just look in my signature. That alone is a joke among my friends. I found it in some AU video, and it's pure gold. Pokemon. Mostly just the fans that think everything is a competition. I like Pokemon, but they always find a way to shame you for liking Team Whatever, like Sootfeather said, or a Pokemon Starter. I don't need to screenshot this, just look up any Pokemon GO team or Sun and Moon starter. Animal Jam. Don't know what that is? Lucky you. Just look at this: www.deviantart.com/art/Sans-Aparri-O-u-O-589494432

snk/aot has a pretty bad fandom as well

my little pony, homestuck, undertale, superwholock, fnaf, steven universe, 21p, the phandom, hetalia you basically just listed all my least favourite fandoms except black butler, kill la kill and attack on titan oh god i forgot about the aot fandom. it and its obsession w/ creepy ships. same w/ black butler. and kill la kill is bad enough on its own so i cant imagine what the fandom must be like.

It used to be MLP or Homestuck, but now it's probably Steven Universe or Undertale. undertaleUndertale is my favorite game...and also, if your going to criticize something, please give a reason.

Undertale is my favorite game...and also, if your going to criticize something, please give a reason. I like Undertale, too. We're not talking about the game itself. We're talking about the fans. And even then, we're not talking about all the fans; just the bad ones.

I don't understand why people think undertale is so bad...seriously, it's a game that try's to teach people that no matter the situation, you don't always have to choose violence.

I am a fan of/enjoy multiple things that people have mentioned but I avoid the actual fandoms like the plague because they're usually irritating, rude, childish or creepy {and intrusive with real people.} Or quite often all of the above. Like people have said, the SnK and Black Butler fandoms creep me out with their ships sometimes. I love them both but I hate the fandoms. The same goes for Dan and Phil, MLP, and sort of Undertale. Being a part of the fandoms though? No thank you, I'd rather not.

unpopular opinion: i cant stand Hetalia or its fanbase. i was actually extremely glad that it was banned on the old forums bc i didn't have to see people talk about it. That's OK; I can perfectly understand why you would think that. I will agree with you that the fanbase is generally absolutely terrible, and I don't get involved in it myself. I love Hetalia, but I understand why you hate it and its fandom, as it might offend some people, and there are just some fans that take things too far, or is just ignorant in history and do not understand how tragic war is. (I've even heard of ppl making fanarts that portray/symbolize Hiroshima/Nagasaki... ) Despite the fact that I would never do, or even think of, doing such things, I have been called a weeaboo just because I like Hetalia. (I don't even watch that much anime???) I like Hetalia because I'm genuinely interested in history, and is thinking of double majoring in it, but there are quite a few people that don't care about history & watch it just for the hot characters/. I also believe that Hetalia should never be substituted with a real textbook, since a lot of things are just blown out of proportion for the sake of being funny. (In other words: know your history before watching it; it will protect you from ignorance, and you might understand the basic context better) Honestly just steer clear of the stuff that bothers you. And I think as the size of the fandom increases, the greater its proportion of annoying fans will be. Just how life is.

I'll say undertale is second worst fandom for three big reasons
1. really need to realise that if someone doesn't like undertale its not just because "they didn't PLAY IT so they don't FULLY APPRECIATE IT." like, your game is actually not that perfect??? people have every right to dislike something 2. bad ships and generally creepy 3. the sans fangirls need to calm down

I honestly haven't seen much about the SU fandom, but I do remember a case where a person almost committed suicide over a bunch of tumblr people complaining about how they drew Rose Quartz thin or something. Even the Crewniverse had to get involved. As a huge fan of the show, I cannot express my shame in that fact. yeppp
I mean, I agree that people shouldn't really be drawing fat characters as skinny, but is that really worth DEATH THREATS? :/

AGREED. Rose Quartz is just a fictional character, and just because someone drew her skinny doesn't mean that the fandom should go and insult her over it. Whats sad is that I have seen a good side of the fandom and I love it there. Shame that on the other side, there's things as far as suicide

the atla/lok fandom is one of the worst i've ever seen. it ruined the fandom experience for me because it was toxic as hell. not to mention the creators just kind of shrugged it off and contributed to the problem. i watched the whole thing go up in flames. freakin peachy I remember all the arguing after the last lok episode aired but I wasn't really in the fandom at that time. I guess im lucky I dodged the fandom's worst years

Pokemon Go. I'm a huge Pokemon fan and the media attention that it's gathered has completely pushed me away from the game.
SU, Undertale, and MLP have already been addressed by you guys.
Sonic used to be the go to answer to this question, but it's calmed down a bit. Most of the crazy fans have matured. Now it's less creepy stuff and more negativity. There's already people finding ways to complain about the two new games. It's sad and annoying.

another thing that bothers me about the undertale fandom is that if you ask a fan why the game is so great 90% of the time they refuse to tell you and say "JUST PLAY IT!!!!" How am I supposed to want to play it if I know nothing about it?? I don't care if I "need to go in blind in order to fully appreciate it", you can still tell me SOMETHING without spoiling everything. I'm not going to play a game if I have no incentive to play it besides "JUST PLAY IT OMG"

while I agree the atla and lok fandoms are bad, I wouldn't quite rank them among the undertale, steven universe or mlp fandoms when it comes to awfulness having seen firsthand how two users untagged posts were turned into memes while they received death threats for daring to express their opinions? while other users were also receiving death threats sans being turned into memes? it's pretty well up there in terms of toxicity and general nastiness, and because of the two memes, people just continue, thinking they're justified because other people made it look funny. when it's not. not to mention one of the popular ships had to make a 2.0 tag back in book 1 because people were so abrasive and cruel in the regular tag. it only got worse with time.
