Who are the most toxic fanbases out there in fiction right now?

I'll start:

Dragon ball
One Punch Man
Marvel
DC
Star Wars

IMO a solid starting five. Feel free to add others. You can give reasons if you want.

Dragon ball

MrMind
Marvel and Star Wars

Opm is pretty awful too

Star Wars is a good one. Hardcore Warsies believe their Space/Military forces can smash anything and force users can beat any opponent.

SD.net is a prime example.

JBL
DC by FAR.

Things like Star Wars, Marvel and DC are too big to just generalize as everyone being "toxic" though if you're being serious with this thread. You can just start labeling everything if you cast a net that big.

Even though every Superman fan loves DC, not every DC fan loves Superman. 1 person likes Wonder Woman... really really likes Wonder Woman. There are absolutely company shills of course but they are equally garbage on both sides. That's going to happen when you have cross company threads between just two companies. If this board allowed every single universe eventually you would see that those Marvel and DC fans are also fans of other companies and they make that company look like shit too.

Anything that acquired a ton of fans from the Youtube era with all the "celebrities" is going to have a largely shit fanbase though. You're talking about the lowest common denominator who hangs on the words of a few prophets. They blur the lines between being a fan of the series and fans of the youtubers.

Not saying Dragon Ball didn't always have shitty fanbases but I noticed a steep decline in intelligence once people started using Geekdom as proof in anything.

Star Wars with followers of people who don't actually know anything about Star Wars past Movies/Cartoons. Marvel with people who learn everything from Dambo videos, etc.

Lacking that first hand experience makes shittier fanbases but it's becoming more common. You saw it before (and still do) with the respect thread debating, now imagine if everything someone knows about a character comes from Youtube.

A lot of posters typecast themselves as just Marvel and DC fans/haters like JBL/Alberto/Prepman/h1 but if you narrow it down to subsets of people you will find that Alpha Flight and Cyclops fans have been the most notoriously toxic on the board.

In the broader sense the most perplexing fanbase is MLP and they seem completely unstable so I'd go with that. Console shills that engage in wars are up there too. Fans of shows, crossfitters, dambo's boys, etc. The Dragon Ball "community" is on average CD's homelife tier. And he technically counts as part of that community so you can imagine how bad it gets.

Actually, Superman is my favorite character. My boats named Superman one. Big S and all. I just happen to know a lot about superman and will never wank him like his other fans. He's not the strongest, fastest, most powerful or anything else. Anytime someone/anyone say that they think superman would lose, his fan base flock together and get mad and call people haters. To them, Superman had to win or 20 years gets taken off their life it seems. Superman HIMSELF said he BARELY won. Yet his fans STILL cry foul.

Right so as I was saying the people who have shoehorned themselves as just company shills exist, but someone like Carver isn't just a Marvel/DC fan like them. He actually has a character and he would shit on the rest of the company for him.

Unless you're specifying those specific company shills without encompassing people like Carver (even though he obviously loves Marvel), then I think the little Superman spazout works as proof. I'll agree those are pretty terrible. In that case I apologize for it not being specific enough since it's oddly very specific.

Company shills are among the worst. Apple would top that though.

I like things, but I've come to dislike all of the companies that supply them. Disney/Marvel, WB/DC, CBS... I couldn't imagine being a fan of any of those companies at large, even if I enjoy some of the stuff they put out. It just feels like I'd be setting myself up for disappointment.

So it's hard for me to understand the blind devotion of people who shill the **** out of said companies, like they can do no wrong.

I like all comic characters, because they're vehicles for storytelling.

Ive never been offended by you because to take offense is a form of indignation, which often times misses the point of the message which causes offense.

You're a marvel fan and that's fine with me, jbl.

I have a theory that you're utilizing kayfabe techniques within the parameters of an early 2000s defunct comic book forum.
You have the:

-persona crafting
-persistent unlikeable attitude, a characteristic of the heel
- stable across time, with zero character evolution
-shameless self promotion
-the introduction of a team member in the form of jbl jr.


You are the antithesis clashing with bran thesis, and our heightened awareness that you have the emotional depth of a cardboard cut out while engaging with you as if you didn't is the kayfabe synthesis.

Simply put, you're the best we have and I wouldn't trade you for two carvers.

Even if you weren't lying about why you won't BZ it, your fake justification is worthless since you said I never challenged you. What he did later on? He started destroying probes. so what you saying is that a dynamic strength using Superman is only equal to zod, Wonder Woman, Doomsday and Wonder Woman mother when he's at his most powerful?? Or are you saying that they all are above Superman until he start using dynamic strength?! You just lost a mini BZ. EXTREMELY EASY. You see,what really happened is that Superman started fighting like them because they unlike Superman had no problem killing. So mongul had to get the idiot to go out there and fight and kill that's why he said distraction robbed you of victory. Nice try though👍

King Kong fans are pretty toxic, judging by recent experiences.


All I did was question whether it was obvious enough that Kong won 1962, if the company had to come out and tell us who won. Argued the actual fight looked dead even, even after Kong got the lightning amp, with both falling into the sea and the fight ending off camera.


Got called a Godzilla fanboy for it.

I mean, even respected critics argue the end was ambiguous, yet simply questioning it makes you a "fanboy"?

You gave me terrible examples. Superman's a living god who struggles to do the "right" thing when he has the power to do whatever he wants. As a result most of the problems he faces are outside the scope of the average person to relate to.

Then there's comics explained, who is okay but seems to be off the mark sometimes.
He is the most accessible and least stupid of the youtube comic people.

IMO Dragon Ball is number 1 followed by Marvel.

To be honest comic fanbases have nothing on video game fanbases when it comes to toxic.

Nintendo zombies looking down on Sega nerds getting looked down on Sony snobs who look down on literally everyone.

PC Master race spending their 5K and feigning superiority, nobody cares.

Things like Star Wars, Marvel and DC are too big to just generalize as everyone being "toxic" though if you're being serious with this thread. You can just start labeling everything if you cast a net that big.

Even though every Superman fan loves DC, not every DC fan loves Superman. 1 person likes Wonder Woman... really really likes Wonder Woman. There are absolutely company shills of course but they are equally garbage on both sides. That's going to happen when you have cross company threads between just two companies. If this board allowed every single universe eventually you would see that those Marvel and DC fans are also fans of other companies and they make that company look like shit too.

Anything that acquired a ton of fans from the Youtube era with all the "celebrities" is going to have a largely shit fanbase though. You're talking about the lowest common denominator who hangs on the words of a few prophets. They blur the lines between being a fan of the series and fans of the youtubers.

Not saying Dragon Ball didn't always have shitty fanbases but I noticed a steep decline in intelligence once people started using Geekdom as proof in anything.

Star Wars with followers of people who don't actually know anything about Star Wars past Movies/Cartoons. Marvel with people who learn everything from Dambo videos, etc.

Lacking that first hand experience makes shittier fanbases but it's becoming more common. You saw it before (and still do) with the respect thread debating, now imagine if everything someone knows about a character comes from Youtube.

A lot of posters typecast themselves as just Marvel and DC fans/haters like JBL/Alberto/Prepman/h1 but if you narrow it down to subsets of people you will find that Alpha Flight and Cyclops fans have been the most notoriously toxic on the board.

In the broader sense the most perplexing fanbase is MLP and they seem completely unstable so I'd go with that. Console shills that engage in wars are up there too. Fans of shows, crossfitters, dambo's boys, etc. The Dragon Ball "community" is on average CD's homelife tier. And he technically counts as part of that community so you can imagine how bad it gets.

Damn, I couldn't go any further without commenting.
ASOLUTELY FABULOUS post. Nailed it in a nutshell.

Of course fans are more likely to be biased toward a character or character subset than a company. I know I favor DC over Marvel as a whole but that has a lot more to do with having had access to more DC than Marvel for many more years. When I was young foreign publications numbers were limited by protection laws in Australia. Only a few American comics could actually be sold in our country directly. Instead the majority of product had to be published by Australian publishers. So a company called Murray publications reprinted US comics.

DC must have been more willing to deal this way than Marvel because there were more DC comics on the shelves. Most Murray publications were 90 page anthologies where say a JLA comic might have a Hawkman, Atom, Flash stories as well. Worlds finest would have the usual Superman/Batman story as well as a Wonder Woman or GL story. So they came out regularly. Marvel however would have a full 90 page of one title.

1I read and became a fan of Daredevil because his was one of the few US titles that was on the shelves of our newsagents (think news stands) otherwise there was a reprint of Avengers, Spiderman, Hulk, defenders (this one had Dr Strange, Hellstrom, SS stories) and very occasional one off's of others. So most of these only came out every few months when there was enough content for one character (spiderman was the only exception, I'm guessing that like Batman and Superman he had more comic titles in the US so more that could be put together quicker)

On the DC side we got a monthly JLA and World's Finest that had 4 stories, as well as a bimonthly Detective, Action, Superman, Batman, teen Titans, Legion of Superheroes. So more titles more often with for the most part the stories of kore characters in each. Comic readers down under simply got a greater saturation of DC comics than Marvel. The direct to Australian DC comics were wierd tales, tales from the crypt, wierd war and weird western (usually only one or two at a time).

Sorry about the extended speil on that, not where I was intending to go.

Still despite my heavy bias due to reading more DC than Marvel I'm much more a fanboy of JSA and related than DC overall. When it comes to Marvel that bias is purely toward Defenders and Daredevil

I can't remember if it was because it came after the Hawke government lifted these protections in 84 or not but the wierd thing was that Archi comics Adventure line (red Circle with Shield, Comet, Black Hood, the Fly, Mighty Crusaders etc) was the only comic publications from the US that I remember getting ALL DIRECT from the US. Which is probably why I like MLJ superheroes above DC. I mean most of the Australian reprints up until about 1982 were black and white interiors with only a colour cover so seeing MLJ characters TOTALLY in colour was a huge deal.
