Is it possible for a fanbase/fandom to ruin a franchise?

I have to agree with this one.

Battlelog is one of the most toxic forums I have been to, not because of psychotic flamewars or X is OP but because of the ridiculous faction warring ._.

You have the Flyboyphaggots (I'm not a fan of hardcore pilots in the game but the ones on the forums turn my stomach.) Then the endless lynch mobs for snipers (Which I always have to avoid <.<) the Tankers (My mechanical brothers, loathed by most infantry) and the Infantry only plebs who generally use the same three guns as every bugger else on Domination and preach about how they are all you need and the game should be centred around them .____.

o.e

There is a reason that I haven't been on the forums there for a good few months now.

What makes it all worse is that DICE sometimes listens to the retards on their forums and promptly nerf something into uselessness whilst leaving the actual problem untouched ._.

Case in point: Stingers, Jets, Helicopters and the endless imbalance it causes.
I have no idea why people complain about tanks. The Engineer class has a specific counter against vehicles. They just need to git gud.

Indeed ._.

Tanks have never been more vulnerable when 3/4 classes can allahu snackbar them, and the loss of reactive armour really hurt them too. APS is a nice bonus but it's not really enough in a CQB mess >.>

It's just the Assault Whores that bitch about them because they pull out their medkit and grenade launcher and get caught with their trousers around their ankles for once <.<

Sometimes I wonder if these people know that you can have a presence on the Internet without basing it off of some show you watch. That means an original username, an original avatar, original everything else. And never actually talking about or making references to the shows you like unless it's specifically applicable to the conversation or relevant to the discussion in some way or another.

Like me, paragon of virtue.
But you are not very paragon.

The Gravity Falls fandom is fucking horrible, but I still consider myself a Faller. Great show.

Halo, just look at Waypoint.
How did the idiots on Waypoint affect the Halo franchise in anyway? Anyone who had an even slightly negative criticism of Halo 4 was met with a 500 year ban.

Any fandom makes me not like something a little less.

I love the series to death, but thanks to the large array of fandoms, i get called autistic for even saying i like the franchise.

Yes it is. Just look at Halo. Hell, look at Destiny. The Desticles are already ruining the franchise.

I'd say desticles ruined destiny but it's arguable that bungie ruined it on the first game. :/

I'm gonna see you tonight for a midnight snack
But though it's cold
You won't get old
'Cause you're well preserved in my Frigidaire
Yahhhhhhh....
Oh baby look so good in my crib at night
Yeah baby look so good in my crib at night
I could give you a million hugs
You look so good all covered up in bugs
If you seriously hate something because of its fanbase, you're a retard.

Halo, PC Gaming, Destiny and CoD are all relevant examples.
