    nothing really, i watch a show for the show itself. the online community is something separate and if its a good community thats just an added bonus. if you don't like the fanbase, stay offline

    Yeah, I agree. Fandom can - and usually does - improve my experience as a viewer but never the opposite.

    How I Met Your Mother by far. Try - just try - to say you liked Robin and Ted better than any other girl, and they'll happily banish you from their lives. Seriously, never seen any other show with that kind of extreme fandom. That (and I don't find the humor funny) is why I don't watch HIMYM.

    i voted GOT and TRUE BLOOD because the fandom of the tv series think they come first, before the one that read all the books of both series.
    Also i got off these shows because they are totally different from the book series and that is a shame, really

    Even though I'm part of the tvd fandom, there are alot of tvd fans that could only be described as a little... extreme its just disgusting to be a part of TVD fandom sometimes but a fandom shouldn't put you off a tv show

    I voted Castle... sometimes this fandom believes in every spoilers, they're afraid Castle and Beckett could break up in every moment when there's an obstacle. Especially if there's a new male\female guest star who may come between Castle and Beckett.

    I never been put off by a show because of fandom but fandom can damper my experience. I stopped watching SPN after S6 for many reasons including the constant ship and character wars which just drained all life from fandom which is meant to be fun!

    the TVD fandom. the show was pretty easy to watch until i 'liked' all those pages and saw the DE/SE fights and all the OTP fights. all i can think of tvd now is 'oh that's a teenage love show'. not really my type at all. left watching TVD after season 2.

    I totally agree with you...I think it's a bit (a lot) foolish If you don't watch a TV show because of the fandom...I don't think someone should deprive itself to watch a potentially good show because of that...-_-'...If you don't want to read/see the passion of the others for a show, good for you...

    I vote Supernatural mostly because I stopped watching the show due to the treatment of female characters on it, which is an issue I place a large part of the blame for on *certain parts* (an important distinction, I don't blame all of them) of the fandom.

    I might be part of a different Castle fandom, though some fans get a bit antsy about the relationship most people I speak to have utmost faith in Andrew Marlowe and that he will give us what we want even if he goes about it in ways we don't always like. I think those that panic are potentially people who don't read all the spoilers as there are always clues that things will be alright.


    I don't follow many fandoms that I'm not a part of but I would hate any fandom that fights over whose opinion is correct and do not see other points of view. It might not put me off the show but I would definitely stop visiting fan/spoiler pages for the show.

  19. Ash Stark8 October 2013 at 11:26

    i guess you shouldnt stop watching SPN because of that. i have had many fights with a hundred people about liking Sam. hell, i love the brothers equally, but the anti-Sam fans shunned me and hurled abuses at me. i kept going. i aint going to quit because they dont like Sam. and as far as Destiel/Wincest is concerned, i dont give a damn. the show is about family. not based on fan-fic love triangles. :)

    I've never really had a show spoiled for me by a fandom. I've watched shows and tried the fandoms and found them not to my taste, but in those cases I've just stayed away and continued to enjoy the show on its own merits.

  21. Ash Stark8 October 2013 at 11:29

    yes, the misogyny on the show gets on my nerves sometimes. and that is mainly because of the fandom. They never accept any female, badass character on the show. i think the only reason they accepted Charlie because she is a lesbian. and many still don't.

  22. Katerina228 October 2013 at 11:29

    I voted for Other and my answer is none,cause it has never happened to me and I will not let it happen.
    Being part of a fandom is amazing and it adds to the whole experience.The minute the effect is negative just walk away.Not watching a show I enjoy because of something I can easily avoid makes no sense to me.

  23. Lou8 October 2013 at 11:31

    Fandom was just one of the many reasons I stopped watching mostly I was unhappy with the plotlines and treatment of non Winchester characters but having fans constantly attack one and other didn't fuel my love!

  25. Ross8 October 2013 at 11:35

    Supernatural is by far my favourite show. Although these fans didn't put me off of the show all together, Destiel shippers did put me off of Castiel for a long time. It was so bad at one point that I used to dread epsisodes that featured Cas heavily in them because I knew every look he gave Dean would be analysed and then rammed down my throat telling me it was an "after sex look" or something. I even received death threats, for saying something so simple as "Why are you guys saying their relationship is canon, did I miss an episode or something?". The hate they used to send me was overwhelming to be honest. I was even called homophobic for just stating that I don't think that they are in a relationship, and a look is just a look. I did not being called that. Although I am one of the rare breed members of Supernatural fandom that is the straight male, I would have no problem with those characters being in a relationship if either of them were actually gay, but they aren't. I'm sure that there are perfectly polite and nice Destiel shippers out there, it's just unfortunate that my experience has only been with the crazy ones which led me to believe most of them are crazy. Anyway, I had to stop engaging with the fandom because of this. Sorry for the rant. If anyone got this far have a cookie. You deserve it ;)

    I think fandom is a great thing, and it has never put me off. I have to laugh a little when people get all worked up because of something that happend (or didn´t happen) on a show. But in the end it is just because they care so much. Actually the big discussion on this site regarding Dean/Castiel almost made me want to watch Supernatural again.

    I fucking loved Bella. It annoys me that they had to scrap more plans for her (I think I read something about that), because some of the female fans got all pissy about her.

    Heh, thanks for the cookie. :P And i feel your pain - in such fandoms you need to work hard to find a little niche group that has similar likes, which can be difficult as they are often less vocal. I have similar issues when a fandom refers too much to the actors rather than the characters - it's the characters I am interested in, not the actors. I appreciate the actors tremendously, but it's the characters i love.

  33. DarqueMode8 October 2013 at 11:54

    My gripe is less for any one show's fandom, but any fandom that thinks their shows actors are something more than they actually are.


    Not every actor is is a great actor, nor do they need to be. Some actors can be on cruise control and kill a certain role because it is close to their own personality or designed around the actor. A character can be great without a great actor in the role. Why can some people not accept that?

  34. rehabber8 October 2013 at 11:54

    None, I have stopped going to several web sites because of the fandom, but have not stopped watching a show because of it. Have stopped because of some characters on a show because those you have to see. ;)

    Castle, Supernatural and TVD. I never watched them. I did try Castle once and I enjoyed it, but I just don't get what the hysteria is all about ;)
    I do watch OUAT and I didn't vote for them, but those fans get really annoying with their ships. Especially on STV, you get several dislikes for a comment, which didn't even state an opinion, just because you don't ship Swan Queen. It wouldn't even bother me if it were a couple with a real chance, but it is not.

    But the thing is we shouldn't need to be cautious in our comments on fear of being treated like Ross did. He wasn't disrespectful at all! Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and no psycho fangirl should be allowed to disrespect that.
    I quit Supernatural a few seasons ago because of the plotline, but I gotta say I never made friends on SPN fandoms because I don't think there is any homosexual canon relationship on the show, and also because I actually LIKE Sam, and nobody seems to be cool with that. I'm glad I found you guys, who are kind enough to even offer cookies. Thanks! :)

    Supernatural - because of how rabidly anti-women much of that fandom is. Even people who I am friends with when they are in the online community for other shows seem to lose it for some reason when it comes to women & that show. :/
    NCIS - I'm surprised this wasn't in the polls. I actually first withdrew from the online community for NCIS because they were so negative & hostile. Eventually ended up not watching the show anymore just because of how nasty many of the fans were about their chosen pairing - you basically couldn't escape it if you tried to follow the show. (They even went after the actress' & actors' & their families...sending nasty messages, threats, etc.) Those of us who prefer friendships among coworkers were viciously attacked by the fandom - such a bad experience it ended up ruining my enjoyment of the show pretty quickly.

    Agreed about the greatness of certain actors, the majority of network stars are OK and work with what they are given pretty well but I couldn't imagine them tackling something like a Oscar type drama. There is nothing wrong with that but yeah some actors really shine, others don't.

    Reactions like yours about NCIS are what this poll is all about. Stuff like that are reasons why I dislike some fandoms. Hating on other fans is not nice and not what fandoms should be about.
    People are not 'boycotting' the show, they just don't want to watch it anymore (me included). No hard feeling about the writers, producers, actors or directors, but I can't watch s.th. I have no fun watching anymore. Don't I have the freedom to do that? Imagine you fav character from your fav show leaves. That's how some feel.

    I totally understand, although for me it started with some "minions" at conventions. I go to A LOT of conventions, about 4-5 a year since 2008, and at one convention I suddenly bumped into a group of fans that stood out. They weren't really fans of the show so much as fans of Misha. They would pass out cards telling people to "join them in their worship of the great one" or something like that. Then, the questions they would ask him kind of creeped me out... sort of "direct us master" questions... Misha plays with them in a very entertaining way, but they really bothered me with the single minded obsession. I really admire Misha, he is open and quite accomplished... but I love the show more and I started resenting the vocal and at times pushy adoration.


    Then, the way they swarm... there is no other word for it... swarm some articles here... It isn't enough to make me stop watching the show, but I have practically given up the online fandom to avoid them. I don't want to spoil their fun, but they sure are spoiling mine.

    " I gotta say I never made friends on SPN fandoms because I don't think there is any homosexual canon relationship on the show, and also because I actually LIKE Sam, and nobody seems to be cool with that."


    I'm a Dean girl (if I have to be labeled), I like Cas, but this does not stop me from caring about Sam.


    I've made a few Supernatural fan friends online. We met on the CW lounge and kept up. Two of the three are Sam girls. One of which who is my best friend online. We talk on email and Skype sometimes about general life - not just the show.

    The Castle fandom -- at least the social media and the discussion board -- not a teaser or a spoiler goes buy that you don't see someone complaining about something related to the show. And when I say complaining, I mean the silly complaints --- like the lack of sneak peeks, for almost a month I regular saw people complaining about the official poster. When the promotional photos came out, people complained about them being photoshopped. And there's the fans who get all anxious when they see "struggles for Caskett" and immediately thing they're going to break up. I've pulled away slightly from the social media realm because I had my fill of a handful of fans complaining about unimportant stuff. Don't even get me started on the stuff that shows up on the message boards---over the summer the official board was full of people making vague threats towards the cast and crew about the direction of the show. And that's not a fandom I want to be a part of. I wish some of those folks could take a step back and look at some of the silly and hurtful things they wrote.

    Fandom, at least to me, can be a double-edged sword. I was very happy to see the efforts of fellow fans make SPN a very vocal and prominent fanbase that was able to manage all sorts of endeavors...but there's this deep-seated issue I have with how that same fanbase (er, certain aspects of that fanbase) can affect the show (and how the people that are involved with writing the show seem to pander to those aspects) that have led to seasons' worth of shipping wars, horrible treatment of female characters (they all get killed off unless there's no threat of them becoming a love interest for one of the characters) as well as infighting that has often derailed online posts, etc. Around season 6 I just mentally checked out of the "fandom" and watched the show, occasionally I will poke around STV for opinions on the new episodes but It's meant less pointless drama in my life.

    I don't want to put anyone down in this. I don't mind shipping or people's personal opinions and their well-written fan fics, etc. but sometimes I just can't deal with all the craziness.

    Well, I start watching the show, because I'm interested in the plot, character, actors and creators. BUT...

    Sometimes, when I'm not sure about these things and I'm just considering watching, the fandom CAN make me run in the other direction. Like with BatB. I had some awful interactions with the show's fans and they discouraged me from watching. Very effectively.

    And then there are the shows I'm already watching and really enjoying them (like Supernatural and OUAT). And their fans. Some of them just can be very obsessive and incredibly rude toward the others and I can't even calmly talk with anyone about the show without being insulted, so... Right now, I'm trying to avoid most of the coversations about those shows, not expressing my opinions on things just to stay calm and positive. I don't quit watching because of the fans, when I actually like the show, but sometimes I feel like taking a break from it. And unfortunately, sometimes fans manage to make me lose a lot of sympathy for the characters I used to think were pretty good (read Castiel on SPN).

    And that just seems sad, to be honest.

    Castle is one of my favorite shows, but I can agree that a good section of the fandom is off putting. People tweet the lead actors of the show disgusting things, and there's constant arguing. It's a real shame because the show is underrated enough as is, even by its own network.


    I wish I was strong enough not to be influenced, but as for me, I will never watch Supernatural no matter how much my friend tries to convince. And this is mainly due to the fandom, but there are other factors as well. The "major three" fandoms of tumblr - Supernatural, Sherlock, and Doctor Who - have the most obnoxious fans ever. They have huge superiority complexes because of their size, and if I wasn't already watching DW before I joined tumblr, I probably wouldn't have started. Supernatural shippers are scary, and their hatred of all the female characters is terrible. Not that there are many female characters to hate because every single one gets killed off.

    I noticed that SPN fandom is the most disliked? Well, there are a bunch of jerks out there who attack their own fandom and characters and I don't like them either. But, the SPN fandom majority protects their show and each other. We're family. And there is no other fandom out there that gives as much for charity or from themselves for charity. Just check the internet on them. We don't give a lot of gifts to the boys. They have charities they support. and that's what our gifts go for. Random Acts is an awesome give of yourself charity. How many shows have fans who went to Haiti and helped rebuild?


    For me, I put three, but they are what I have seen online.

    Castle and Supernatural for me. Even if this can't make me stop a show, there are a lot of things that bothers me.


    I like watching Castle, but I can't stand all the fan stories which are done around it, and particularly on this website when people answers the polls with Castle things just cause it's Castle (I'll take the example of the most BAMF girl in a show, come on, people vote Beckett ? She's a friggin cop).


    For SPN, I stopped watching during the 3rd or 4th season, but not because of the fandom, but because it was too much WTF and too much BS, too much chain resurrection which make us wonder why they are still afraid to die in the end of the day ...


    But I think that a fandom can get pretty annoying, like every fandom, not only for a TV show, but also for a band (yeah, i'm talking about you, Directioners and Beliebers :) ) or for whatever can bring a fandom together.

One would think that Castle and Beckett were actual people who live and breathe amongst us, rather than characters created out of someone's imagination. Every little thing is dissected and criticized in the most minute way. Every look, every vocal inflection, even every appearance/non-appearance "means something". Get a life people, it's a television show! It's as real as a fiction book! I understand differing opinions, I get it but can't you be civil when someone isn't of the same mind as you?

After last season especially, to the point where I don't want to watch the new episodes when the show returns...

    Hoo boy so many choices, so little time. Where to start?


    There are moments when you are PROUD of following a great show. You love the cast, you love the theories and you want to commute with others and theorize and brainstorm and asfasdasfasdaf at all the awesomeness. You are proud at being a fan. And then you go on the internet and actually SEE the fandom you belong and you just feel...ashamed.


    Most notable examples right now:



    Vampire Diaries fandom - That has to be one of the MOST toxic fandoms I have ever been a part of. It seems that through the years all the sensible people just moved away from the show(just as I did) and all that is left is a bunch of VERY rabid shippers that start hate wars and harass people over twitter for that. And the worst part is that writers themselves(mostly Julie Plec) FEED those people and ignite most of fights. Of course the people are starting to wise-up already on what became of the show, but if you said ANYTHING bad about the show back in S3 or S4, you better be prepared to withstand a volley after volley of ableist language and rage.


    Supernatural fandom - hm, where to start? The entitlement the fandom has? the sexism? The threats towards the writers and actors? The outright hostility to every other fandom in existence(which especially comes up in certain online polls) ? Or is it the complete hypocrisy that comes from blaming other fandoms for the things they do? The show by now is a perfect mirror of the fandom itself - a mess. I was once proud to love that show, but by now I am kind of even ashamed to even say I belonged to that fandom, when it comes up - because people HONESTLY expect me to rage at them then.



    Teen Wolf fandom - Now, I LOVE the show, despite its shortcomings, but hooboy is the fandom sexist. Every female character got a HUGE amount of hate towards them We had such a gems like BLAMING Lydia for Peter having used her in S2, not to mention the multiple cases of "die for our ship" happening. Not to mention the cases of fandom glorifying certain characters above all others (example being Peter being exempt in fandom's eyes for anything bad he did or some people refusing to acknowledge that very point of Derek's character storyline is that he is a bad leader). OH and then there's a certain crackship that has a very rabid and angry fanbase hating on everything and everyone who disagrees with them.




    Haven fandom - That's a perfect example on how a ship can ruin the show and the fandom. All the gross stuff the above giant fandoms have? This little gem of a fandom can display it.

    I voted for two here, Castle and Supernatural, which are ironically two of my favorite shows. Castle frustrates me because a lot of people view it as perfection that can do no wrong, and a lot of "shippers" have ruined the boards for me. Naturally the show has a huge relationship component, but I don't base the quality of an episode on how many "cute Caskett moments" were in it. I don't even look at the pages here anymore.


    Supernatural, on the other hand, frustrates me because fans are too hyper-critical. I get it, because when you love a show it's hard not to be super invested, but over the years the fans seem to have become divided into "Sam girls" and "Dean girls" who whine when one brother is featured more than the other in an episode's promo. I'm one of those people who thinks it's okay to love Dean, Sam, and yes, Castiel, and while I do believe that some story lines and episodes are better than others (Bugs should be forgotten altogether), I try not to hate on my show. I want to shake some people and ask why they bother watching anymore if every new season is "the worst" and they "should have stopped watching after season 5".

    I went for Beauty and the Beast and Castle, although I generally dislike any large rabid fanbase that can't seem to accept that not everyone likes their show - it makes me want to watch the show even less when there are people angrily demanding you watch all the time.


    But moreso, I chose these two in particular, because sometimes, no matter what the subject of the post (a poll, for example, that doesn't list one of these shows as an option for the 'best TV series ever'), there are usually arrogant fans that are outraged that the show hasn't been mentioned. And they never seem to read the other many comments about the exact same thing! This becomes so that the original point of the post, usually a poll, is somewhat lost.

    Other - Any fandom where the conversation becomes primarily about shipping. There are so many things to talk about in a TV show that whenever a fandom turns everything into shipping with the annoying shipping names, it immediately turns me off. Shipping wars are even worse. I honestly do not care if Elena ends up with Stefan or Damian. Caskett is the worst part of Castle to me and the reason I dropped it last season. Chair versus Dair was mind-boggling in its fan contentiousness and I didn't even watch that show. It was so prevalent that I, as someone who never clicked on an article solely about Gossip Girl, couldn't even avoid it. That's a powerful fandom war. I still find very few people who try to convince people to watch Beauty and the Beast who do not make it all about the epic love story between the 2 leads. Since love stories never do anything for me, why would I try out that show again in an already crammed TV schedule? Sometimes I think shippers hurt shows more than they help because people cannot avoid it online and it gets frustrating. By the way, I also think Supernatural's fandom is the show's biggest asset and greatest enemy as well. The in-fighting is legion and I know people who have avoided the show simply because "those fans are nuts!" It's hard to disagree with their assessment when reading the comments on some threads. Supernatural fans are passionately arguing wthout ceasing until someone attacks the show/cast/crew, there is an award to be won, or there's a charity event within the fandom. Then they are one of the best fandoms around...until the next week.

    I think you could substitute many other show names in for TVD to be honest. :-)

    I usually prefer secondary characters to lead characters and several shows have lead characters that tend to annoy me even if I do not hate them. Still if I do hate the lead character, I do drop the show. I couldn't watch House because I couldn't stomach any scene with him in it although I found it interesting when he was off screen.

    I'm a big fan of Bela but only in small doses. I think they needed to balance out who won in the Winchester-Bela exchanges more. If she didn't constantly make the brothers look inept for little good reason, I think the fans would have liked her a lot better. With Bela, I think it was less because she was female and more about how she made the brothers look.

    You've got that right. Do you remember what happened when Jared's dog died a few years ago? Holee crap! I've never seen people go after one another like that except at a Bears/Packers game. AND NONE OF THEM KNEW JARED PERSONALLY.

    No one, at least no one who has commented so far, begrudges Beauty and the Beast their spot. The point was that constantly telling people to watch your show actually has the opposite effect on a lot of people. Perhaps less is best in this case. I really hope BatB does well because I've been in fandoms in similar situations and it's a horrible position to be in. however your comment won't win over any converts. I still maintain that telling people what they might like about a show is a far better way to get people to watch it than badgering them to watch constantly or insulting people in the comments.

    For me it is the disporportionate amount of comments about Caskett compared to other things and characters. Not like that everywhere of course, but it does seem to be the main point of conversation on many threads. It turned me off the fandom and the producers going in that direction turned me off the show. However, I would suspect that the main reason why Castle is so close to the top (as well as Supernatural) is because people are tired of seeing it win almost every single poll here on SpoilerTV. :-P

    This may not be the best thread to gush about the season premiere of BatB, since it is about the fandoms people find most annoying. I'm glad that you are excited about the premiere and I hope this season is great for you, but this is exactly what people were posting about earlier in regards to the BatB fandom. I would hate for your feelings to get hurt because you are passionate.

    I actually find it a very interesting poll and as it has not become a flame war, I think this is a good way for people to vent about things in fandom that bug them. I'm sorry that you don't find it as fascinating as I do.

    I think it is a misconception that all shows on the CW are equal. They really are not and some of them have a much higher fan age average than most people expect, especially Arrow, Supernatural, and Nikita. However, I am sure that you are right that they all have fans that annoy people....as all shows do.

    We rarely agree on the points of a show, but I agree with most of your points about the fandoms. I especially think that Supernatural fans gave themselves a really bad name within other fandoms by being very sore winners about certain online polls. Sometimes I think it would have been better if the fandom were more humble about it a few years ago. I know people who wouldn't even try SPN because the fans were rude in an online poll against their favorite shows.

    Is it like this because of the hype of the show in the country? I mean I'm from Germany and I have the feeling it's not like that at all.. But maybe I'm just not into connection with the fandoms here.. Idk..

    I'm sure not all Supernatural fans are psychopaths. I've met a few on Brazilian forums, but none of them were die hard fans, just occasional viewers.

    'Hating' was the word I used to describe your tone, not what you said, I could have said that better, sorry.
    And I haven't said that the show can't be good without Cote, I just won't enjoy it to the same degree anymore.
    I would love to see a spin off where we see Ziva in her next adventure. I still hold out hope for some visits from our ninja on NCIS.
    The worst thing they could do now is give Tony yet another 'destiny' woman. After Kate AND Ziva, that just woudn't be believable anymore :)

    I agree, no more women for Tony for a while. The writers should focus on something else.

    Any fanbase that only watches the show just for a relationship, then stop watching the show when the relationship ends. Like AHS for example, I know a lot of people that didn't watch Season 2 because Tate & Violet wouldn't be in it.

    I agree with you...I am a total Bela fan...i do believe the writers could have handled it a little bit by making sure Dean gets her back story...it could have been epic...Jo was awesome but she looked too young....Lisa was wrong because of the baggage...and i truly believe after everything Dean has been through, he needs someone who knows the dark/empty parts of his soul as well as the good in him and that is the reason i have shipped destiel since 'i am the one who gripped you tight and raised you from perdition'....in freudian terms, if there was ever an analysis of Dean's psyche, the conclusion would always be that, because of never being looked after and caring for someone else all his life, he craves someone who can look after him... That is the reason why the girls don't fit in, they just don't understand the hunter life even if they know about it... what the Winchester brothers have been through is just not normal/usual even for a badass hunter...
