Heh, I don't like any of those things. I win, fuckers :smug:

I binge watched all of Rick and Morty and thought it was ok, funny sometimes. Never posted or read about it on social media tho (altho, does SA count as social media? :ohdear:) so I guess I'm in the clear.

I like to watch CinemaSins and Honest Trailers for all the movies I'm curious about but don't want to watch. It's like Cliff's Notes with commentary notes to use in conversation to "prove you watched it."

Early Rick and Morty was actually very good, but the fanbase is so bad that I don't want it to be in my search history. That's how bad the fanbase is.

That’s how bad all fanbases are becoming. I’m glad I’m old enough now to enjoy things without having to make it apart of my identity or spend all my time defending it. Fans ruin everything.

Same, because I was dating a fan at the time. My big takeaway from the series was "well some of the sci fi situations are fun, but boy do they lean hard into the completely wrong 'nihilism=smarter than everybody else' argument"

Rick is not a hero or a role model. All the wacky stuff is not genius lot of it is just wacky and also dumb. That's my 2 bits for now.

Hell I'm a fan of Rick and Morty, the various Nolan movies, Supernatural (early seasons at least) and a few of the other things on there too probably. But I'm a fan as in I enjoyed it, not fan as in I rewatch and overanalyse it obsessively, quote it frequently, or get mad at people who don't like it or criticise it. It's the latter kind of "fan" that this knockout tournament is about I think.

I don't understand how Big Bang Theory made it this far. The fanbase is a bunch of middle aged suburbanites? Like who even gives a gently caress.

Supernatural fans took it as far as pretending to be one of the actor's wife convincingly enough to authorities they allowed her to (attempt to) file a restraining order against the guy's real wife.

In fact, Star Trek paraphernalia has so routinely been found at the homes of the pedophiles theyve arrested that it has become a gruesome joke in the squad room. (On the wall, there is a Star Trek poster with the detectives faces replacing those of the crew members). This does not mean that watching Star Trek makes you a pedophile. It does mean that if youre a pedophile, odds are youve watched a lot of Star Trek.

I think the Big Bang Theory getting that far is riding half on people not liking the show, half on family/friends who talk about the show a lot/always have it on. It's not the kind of fandom that makes a toxic hole for itself on the internet that makes it really visible. It's more like your coworkers who still talk about The Office and Friends constantly, and how they "started another rewatch of the whole series again last weekend."

Or maybe I'm projecting.

The Office is one of my favorite "need noise" shows around. I think it's great for when I'm cleaning or doing something where I'm not going to really pay attention, but I want the TV on.

Rick and Morty fans have this preternatural ability to zoom in on the absolute worst bits from the show and then worship them. I swear when I was watching the episode with the McDonald's sauce part I said "gently caress You" to my TV, out loud, while I was sitting alone in my living room because I knew a ton of dweebs would become obsessed with some dumb crap sauce and act like they were so special for wanting some decade old chicken nugget sauce I KNEW IT WOULD HAPPEN AND I SAW IT ALL HAPPEN BEFORE IT HAPPENED I KNEW THEY WERE UNLEASHING HELL AND DAN HARMON DIDN'T CARE AT ALL

whereas like that one goon above me said, Big Bang Theory is just a unfunny show that boring people like

How did Pewdiepie fans get to the final 4? I haven't heard about them doing anything for years, not even defending the stupid stuff he does. They mostly just post memes and videos to his subreddit in hopes of it getting featured in one of his reaction videos. In fact, Pewds mostly does reaction videos now. The subreddit even made a "let's not post memes" campaign in an attempt to make him do an LP of Detroit: Becoming Human, which he did.

Also his fanbase call themselves The 9-Year-Old Army but I'm pretty sure they are at least high school seniors by now. Actual 9 year olds watch Logan and Jake Paul videos.

It's probably because most people collectively hate PewDiePie enough that they voted to poo poo on him by proxy. But yeah, he hasn't really been very visible lately and I voted on the fandoms that are currently the most annoying to me at the moment.

Haven't heard stories about crazy Supernatural fans in a while. Do they still have that fanfic universe where the characters engage in incestuous gay sex while having magic dog dicks that can make guys pregnant?
