RWBY is much worse. I just found out that they FAKED a suicide the other day just to trash one of their critics

Fandom can’t have nice things.
 
It’s not necessarily that people don’t like Rick & Morty. Like with Steven Universe and MLP, it’s become a case of hating a fandom full of publicly obnoxious assholes.
 
I myself have never watched the former two shows, though I have friends that have. I barely have time for MLP these days because I’m so busy working. But I do know that fandoms can get toxic. People run around thinking they’re clever by spouting memes, or taking a work of fiction super seriously and getting legitimately upset when it doesn’t conform to what they want.
 
And the worst part is, these people are the minority in all fandoms. But they’re often the loudest and most visible. And inevitably the whole fandom gets tarred with the same brush.

Niven’s Law. “No cause is so noble that it won’t attract very bad people.” Nothing is so good that very bad people can’t like it too.

Hiding your powerlevel means to hide your interest in your affiliation, skills, or hobbies from others to avoid being labeled negatively. It’s usually meant more in a real life context; someone may not want to wear or do anything that might indicate they were a fan of a given game/show/etc.

Is that code for “I’m going anon for this comment”?  
Because if it is, I’m going to say that every time I post anonymously from now on.
 
I conceal my powerlevel.

The description is a satirical copypasta.

When I read the description I cringed so hard I think I broke my spine.
 
On one level it’s either masterful trolling or unintentionally funny, but on another it hits a little too close to home.
 
I’ve stopped going to cons due to all the horrible, cringey behavior I see at cons.
 
To use a different analogy, to get away from things in which we are emotionally invested here, I don’t even want to talk about watching reruns of the old 1960s Star Trek any more, because I will be associated with the people who dress as Klingons for their weddings, or worse. Science fiction fandom has always had a serious image problem at best (go google for Walter Breen and the “Breendoggle” if you have a strong stomach), and the more I think about it the more I cringe.
 
Talk about poni? No, I don’t think so. I conceal my powerlevel.

@Crowley  
And that is why SJWs are, and should be rejected. Because they are willing to murder for literally nothing.

@Crowley  
Human beings are garbage, basically.

@Rappy0  
I remember that - the artist drew a character who, in the series, was implied to be quite chubby. However the artist made her way “too thin” and the SJWs “saved” the day by hurling abuse at her non-stop.  
I think all fandoms have some horrible aspect to it, and if they don’t, get just get one naturally once it becomes big enough. It’s the thing of too many humans in one place.

@MorphinBrony  
The Steven Universe fandom pushed a girl to a suicide attempt I don’t know why but they are by far the wrost thing to ever happen to the world.

“I’m Pickle Rick!” needs to be 20% cooler.

@raakamagna  
Wait, what? When was this and why haven’t I heard about it?

@Background Pony #4B09  
No. If you allow me to tell you, a fandom that pushed a girl to want to kill herself for a drawing is much worse than anything else, even worse than Rick and Morty fans.

@Rappy0  
Every fandom is equally garbage.

People think bronies are bad but we are shit teir compared to other fandoms.

““This seems like a good time for an apple cider, and a warm, melodic song with happy overtones. A song about princesses, about elements of harmony, bronyhood, power of friendship. But songs are for filling episode time. Now is the time for action.[](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Js-XbNj6Tk)

@Background Pony #4B09  
That’s fine. At least I can say I didn’t stand in line for hours outside a Golden Arches, trying to get some shitty soy sauce.

Okay, I’m just gonna be honest: I’m glad this whole stupid RMxMcDonalds incident happened. Good grief, just how fast can a fandom crash, burn and cannibalize itself? I await Harmon telling everyone this was a setup just to fuck with people.
 
I’ve been wracking my brain but is there a similar incident in the Bronyhood? Like a bunch of jackasses rioted outside a Build-A-Bear because they ran out of Applejack dolls?
 
Smugcat out

Incredible.

You’re all just as bad as each other.

I love the show and I love its fandom for making our fandom look decent in comparison.

Rick and Morty, decent show, terrible fandom.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to waifu Trixie. Her showmareship is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of social psychology most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer’s head. There’s also Trixie’s solipsistic outlook, which is deftly woven into her characterisation - her personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. Her fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of her character, to realise that she’s not just powerful - she says something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Trixie truly ARE idiots - of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in Trixie’s existential catchphrase “Was there ever any doubt?” which itself is a cryptic reference to Stirner’s philosophical masterwork The Ego and Its Own. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Kathleen Barr’s genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them.
 
And yes, by the way, i DO have a Trixie tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the ladies’ eyes only - and even then they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid.
