Most vicious fanbases? Most Loud mouthed?
Posted: Tue Feb 07, 2012 7:53 pm
as a vs debater I'm sure we have all encountered the worse of the very worse of all fandoms and many of you look to have been doing this as long as I've been alive (kidding, kidding) so I ask of you all
in your experience? pick a top five..which fanbases are the most vicious? as in the ones that would actually do something..or try something
and which top five are the most loud mouthed..made up of essentially crazy internet tough guys who'd rant on and on?
it should be noted that I'm sure our lists only include the craziest elements of the fandom and not overall of course so any one reading who gets offended needs to lighten up
I'll start on my list
Most vicious
1, Twilight they've actually burned down a local film critics house as of the release of breaking dawn and there are numerous acts of violence reported...One girl was humiliated in a vs debate Edward vs Mace Windu and she took pictures of her cut arms as a result and posted them,..on our forum to show us "what we did" by her favorite character loosing
2, Naruto fans..compromised seemingly of 12-16 year old mental patience after they loose an argument they'll do anything from threatening your life..to the lives of your families..too in one case posting pictures of themselves burned with a heated spatula..attempting to hang themselves..general all around legit suicide and self harm as a response to loosing debates
3, SDners if half the things Darkstar and others have said about them are true..they're capable of some real cruelty. In my debates with them I've never been threatened just made fun of allot (and to be fair I dish it out ten times worse then I take it ) but you old timers have some stories to tell about them that just boggle the mind
4, Dragon Ball Z fanboys - the most ardent and demented of this fanbase has done everything from posting pictures of dead children..to spamming gay porn as a means to distract you from when their loosing arguments..I've seen entire forums shut down due to their antics...and The Phenom Brigade verses Wongs pack of maniacs was said to be one of the nastiest trollfests ever
5, DC fans..Superman fans especially..can get..well to the point that they hire someone to mess you up 4chan style really
loud mouths
1, Image fans get really loud and heated (though most of them are great guys when calmed down) I mostly put them at number one because the shift from nicest guy on a forum to full blown Joe Pesci is instant and pretty scary
2, fivers..man just fivers
3, Inheritance fanboys go batfuck crazy when you question Paolini's writing skills
4, Bleach fans loud arrogant and usually bigger liars than any other fandom
5, Code Gease/Death Note fanbase..why any one would go rabbid over those two series I'll never understand
alright then SFJ your turn
