ITT: Fandoms you can't stand (even if you like what it is they're fans of)
For me it's:
Bronies
Homestuck fans
Potterheads (I love Harry Potter, but the fans are the most pathetic and intolerant fans out there)
The MCRmy (all the cool people left and now there's only 12 year old horny weeaboos)
Gleeks (I hate Glee, but the fans are worse. Shipping everything, only listening to Glee covers, worshipping Darren Criss, etc.)

I honestly can't say I dislike any particular fandom.
I do, however, dislike stupid people.
for instance, I don't dislike people who like justin bieber.
But the people who go out of their way to act like annoying fantards over him? sure, I'll dislike them, but only because they're acting like a stupid person, I don't blame the rest of the fans for their behavior.
Same thing with a group like furries, I've met many swell fellows in the furry fandom, as well as a lot of douche bags.
I'm a brony, and there are plenty of bronies who I dislike/disagree with because of their behavior, but many more who are good friends.
I just don't believe in generalizing, which, inherently, is a fallacy, the composition fallacy to be exact. There's no reason to generalize and to advocate hostility towards a group of people, unless you have some sort of underlining agenda.

The only reason I generalize is because all/the majority of the people belonging to a fandom that I have interacted with have acted in a certain way, and thus paint a picture of that fandom for me (whether it be negative or positive)
Of course there will be exceptions to the rule, but I simply do not have the time to meet everyone.
