Great shows with terrible fandoms

YouTube

60% of these comments share the totally necessary detail of "this is the first show I whacked off to", and the other 40% are just "OMG haha I'm a guy and I watched this show, isn't that crazy? I'm not ashamed of it tho haha

I'm sure you could find plenty of shit even in Jack's fanbase.

that would require a mirror

Is there such thing as a good fandom?

The biggest two that come to mind are Doctor Who and Sherlock, both of which have a couple moments of brilliance but are otherwise just a shitshow of asperger's porn about """clever""" british dudes, egged on by a fanbase that actively condemns better, more grounded writing.

dude the SJ fanbase is terrible, especially in regards to S5

I only used the Aku image/quote because it's hilarious to me to use that line in relation to actually disagreeing with an opinion

can we end this meme

most shows that have a mystery element to be figured out have great fandoms, Gravity Falls for example

idk i've talked to some chicks who are all fangirly and shit and they can be super annoying

Mordo · June 08, 2017, 10:00:57 PM

Idk if they're terrible but Breaking Bad fans need to be taken down a peg or two. It's an entertaining drama about drug dealers, it isn't the Citizen Kane of TV shows.

The people who followed the Grateful Dead were pretty chill. I did security for the Dead in DC in 1994. They were peaceful, welcoming and pretty much kept to themselves. They partied the night away in the parking lot, cleaned up after themselves and then left. They werelike a self contained city that moved with the band.

I talked to one guy who said he started a business with a single hot dog. He bought it at the show from a concession stand. Someone offered him $5 for it. He took the $5 and bought a pack of hot dogs and buns. Sold those for $5 a go, now he owns a successful catering business in Arizona. All from selling that first hot dog during the concert and following them for a few years. Not many fandoms claim success stories like that

generally the more popular something is the shittier its fanbase is

not sure if trolling or?

BrBa is about drug dealing the same way TWD is about zombies - it isn't

drug dealing is the setting. Masculinity, ego, and guilt are what it's about

And you're right, it's far better written and revolutionary than Citizen Kane. Breaking Bad will be remembered like Shakespeare

Only because it has scrubs parroting how groundbeaking it was. More people heap praise onto it than have actually seen the damn thing.

Solonoid · June 08, 2017, 10:50:59 PM

Not really related, but I hate how everyone views the Lord of the Rings fanbase as meganerds with absolutely no lives.

I have yet to meet a no life meganerd who was actually a LotR fan, and I have yet to meet a hardcore LotR fan who wasn't either a hipster or inexplicably metal as fvck.

Yeah man doesn't apply here

"Fly" was the single best episode and epitomizes everything that makes the series legendary, and I could write a multiple page analysis on it

you have people saying the show is groundbreaking because it is

I never would've thought sep7 would've found a way to turn this innocuous topic into a smug way to feel better about themselves, but I guess I underestimated this forum lmao
