Am I the only one who hate fandoms?

I mean, don't get me wrong, it's awesome to be in a group of people who are into the same things that you're in. But, personally, I finding myself just hating them all. I mean there's the easy group to hit on like Homestuckers. I mean, when I read stuff like this:
So I'm at Panera on Wednesday morning chillin with my sandwich and this group of Homestucks walk in. They're in full cosplay (this was a few hours before the big NDK NYE dance so that's probably where they were headed) complete with unsealed grey paint that was getting all over everything they touched. I couldn't tell exactly what age they were but I'm guessing somewhere in the 14-17 range. All they got was a cookie and a water cup (which they filled with soda), they started messing around being unnecessarily loud and obnoxious and just generally pissing everybody off. They were screaming stuff like "OH MY GOG UR SUCH A FUCKASS" even though there were children in the booth behind them. At one point they decided to play 'the penis game' and were screaming PENIS PENIS PENIS at the top of their lungs. It was at this point that the manager came over. She calmly told them that she had gotten several complaints about their behavior and she asked them to please quiet down and stop disturbing the other customers or she was going to have to ask them to leave. She also asked that they please pay for the soda that they stole. And this is where it gets fun. The Terezi cosplayer, the one that stole the soda, picked up her drink cup and THREW IT ALL OVER THE MANAGER she then proceeded to scream "WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK I AM YOU LITTLE BITCH? I AM A TEAL BLOOD! I AM THE LAW! GO FUCK YOURSELF!" By this point the whole Panera is staring and I was in shock. The manager stood there for a few seconds, soaking wet, before she walked away and into the kitchen. The homestucks just laughed and insulted her, calling her a dumb cunt and stuff like that. A few minutes later 2 cops walk into the Panera and arrest the Terezi for disturbing the public and assaulting the manager.

I feel nothing but shame to even know what Homestuck is.

Even regular stuff like cars. Every single car meet I've gone to was nothing but multiple group of guys all cock wagging at one another until somebody does something stupid and the police shows up. It feels like I have to keep all my hobbies and interests way deep in the closet because there's always that 1 guys that fucking overshadows those hobbies and interest with cringe worthy dumbfuckery. I really wish someone could tell me that I'm doing it wrong and point me in the right direction.

    The world is full of assholes. Sometimes they like the same things you do. Big whoop.

    Dumb people are everywhere and dumb for every reason and like everything that has ever been likable.

    Feeling dumb for liking something a dumb person likes is


    Well, dumb.

    i don't understand people who define themselves solely by their consumption habits. I eat a lot of beef. I'm not going to call myself a beefer.

    Cause beef also means fart in some places and now i'm laughing oh god what have i done.

    I kinda dislike it when people start talking as if they're nations or something.

    nah beefeaters are actually rad, and i know the joke you're making here but i gotta respect those guys.

    but still, beefers.

    it also sounds like beavers.

    this works on so many childish levels.

    After the picture of some My Little Pony plush being dissolve in some guys bottle of semen. There's nothing fake anymore. At one point in time I would of thought that there's no way a team of guys would allow a horse to fuck someone to death, but now I know better.

    why does a small horse need a hat?

  • Casually HardcoreCasually Hardcore Once an Asshole. Trying to be better. Registered User regular
    First of all, ponies are a different species of horses.

    Second of all, Applejack is a rough and rugged earth pony who works all day in the sun. Have you ever work all day in the sun without a hat? Let me clue you in; sunburns are a bitch.

    but why do none of the others have any?

    I mean, i guess the unicorns don't need one, but you'd think the flying ones would. or goggles at least.

    I don't understand these shows any more. hats and sports tape everywhere.

    It makes one feel like a big person saying 'I don't understand identifying yourself by a fandom', but there are a lot of lonely people out there. Any mildly exciting thing that places you in social contact is suddenly a massive increase in quality of life. There are people that go too far off the deep end that need either a frank talk, but for the large part leave them be.

    Seriously though identify however feels right to you, even if it is based on a piece of media or food.

    As long as it's not something that hurts others, people got no right to shame you for it.

    I think it's weird when people talk about fandoms like they're monolithic communities

    I mean, just on this forum there's a completely different community of Doctor Who fans between SE++ and D&D, never mind the difference between the Doctor Who community on Reddit and the Doctor Who community on tumblr

    people talk about "THE [blank] FANDOM" like everybody who likes a thing meets in the same place and knows the same people and whatnot

    If being a whovian is your entire life, you are alien to me. I don't mean that as an insult, it's just i don't think i can understand that frame of mind.

    It's not a place i have ever been, nor ever will. If it makes you happy, sure I might think you weird or silly but so long as you're happy and not hurting anyone that's the extent of my feeling on it.

  • Centipede DamascusCentipede Damascus Registered User regular
    I've got this cousin who is kind of a massive fan of Doctor Who and as far as I know she pretty much only interacts with the DW community that exists on Facebook

    which is totally weird to me, but people do what they do
