What's a media (video game, series, movie, comic/manga/book... etc) that you love, but you hate the fandom attached to that media?

The marauders fandom based on Harry Potter has a love hate relationship from me. even if I'm part of the fandom, there's a lot of racism, homophobia, and generalized insensitivity around a lot of topics. its really disheartening too as a POC especially when it's based on a series about accepting people regardless of their differences. like we all know what a troglodyte j*r is, so you would think that the fandom that has almost entirely turned their backs on her and strives to be inclusive and significantly better than her would know better, but alas.

A lot of fandoms but dandy's World just get me mad. Like mad as hell. If someone asks me why I hate this fandom someday i would, like, not stop yapping about how this Community is already fucked up and problematic on less than 1 Year of the game being popular and much more

like a majority of the roblox games i'm into. it's hell out here

While I don't love Jujutsu Kaisen, I do somewhat like it, but the fandom is terrible. This could also apply to any of my favourite medias that are decently big, the ORV fandom has a few iffy people (Looking at TikTok) but it's not as bad, the rest of the fandom is pretty decent

CounterStrike.

all of them i think... the only PART of the genshin fandom i'm alright with is probably chiluc & chaeya shippers since they lean onto rarepairs? but i'm biased and don't go on twt that much. what i do dislike is scaranation... and columbina likers... i love the characters, i really do, it's just... scary. wuagh.

Not all Star Wars fans are bad, but when they're bad, they are the absolute worst.

KIND OF RANT.... mentions of death threats (but only the mention, no actual ones)

Responding to my own question... So I like games like Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail a decent amount. The fandoms attached to them tho, they have quite the reputation. I especially do NOT like Scaranation, but I love Scaramouche/Wanderer.

And then I think that the Splatoon fandom is somewhat tame, except for the toxic fans for certain idols. But I'm a bit avoidant of Coroika fans (Splatoon Manga fans). It's not exactly all of them, but there's been enough encounters with weird fans of Coroika, that I'm actually glad that I'm in my own bubble when it comes to the manga.

I love seeing Coroika cosplayers on Splatoon 3 though, they're not super common.

Genshin Impact… the fandom is only somewhat wholesome on fandom
