We've all experienced moments of frustration with media and choices made by writers, directors, actors, artists, and so on. But some people take their frustrations way too far. From TV show fans going crazy about season finales to book fans complaining about that one crappy book that just didn't understand the character as they did, please post your favorite fan meltdowns. To start, I'll never forget the "vagina bones" comment made by some anime guys complaining about Western censorship about their game (or TV show, I don't know). Actually, any anime fan decrying censorship is pretty drat funny. Another good one for me is the Brazilian loss to Germany during the 2014 FIFA World Cup. 7-1 to Germany and the host country, Brazil, falling apart in tears and shattered morale. Pictures of fans crying, newspaper editorials asking what the hell happened after buying into their own hype, and much more. Edit: Wrong thread tag. That's what I get for phone posting.

That one lady in some Livejournal Childfree group who completely flipped her poo poo that a child won the costume contest at a book store, and got to open the first box for some Harry Potter release. I wish I'd saved it because lord, she was piiiiiissed.

My personal favourite was the guy convinced that Silent Hill as a series was about circumcisions and made continual, constant edits to a fan wiki to make it true. It was a glorious read.

The best part about the circumcision guy is that he was one of the admins, and when people removed his edits, he staged a full on coup and de-modded everyone but him until the staff at Wikia had to personally get involved. God drat what a saga

ASenileAnimal posted:lmfao imagine writing all those words about boobs from a 20 year old game. The “quarian sweat” of our time. I’m interested in pre-Internet fan meltdowns. And I’m not just talking about Disco Demolition night (which was an excuse to be racist and homophobic), but contemporary accounts of say, Sherlock Holmes fans writing angry letters to Doyle in 1894, or Lisztomania, or reactions to Pamela in 1741. I despise Rick and Morty fans who made the McDonald’s sauce a thing, and especially the guy screaming about it while he stood on a counter.

They're also mad that you can't see Siren's pubes anymore and are blaming the bible-thumping cucks in California as part of some vast conspiracy to use censorship to suppress the boners their enlightened masters in Japan keep trying to share with the rest of the world.   SUPERMAN'S GAL PAL posted:I despise Rick and Morty fans who made the McDonald’s sauce a thing, and especially the guy screaming about it while he stood on a counter. Fun fact, that guy was a Proud Boy and was doing it as a staged thing in hopes that the video would go viral and spread the image of college students as triggered snowflakes who need their safe spaces. So congrats for perpetuating that, I guess. Sleeveless has a new favorite as of 01:07 on Sep 7, 2019 |

I mean it's kind of a self-own though because the Rick and Morty fanbase is almost comically chud-dominated and that mostly just made R&M fans look like garbage basement dwellers

Really wish one of the original Silent Hill team would come out and say "We appreciate the fans, but we're disappointed that after all this time, only one person picked up on the true anti-circumcision message of the series."

big dyke energy posted:My favorite one that I've heard is about a bunch of women getting all riled up after the last installment of Pamela was released and breaking into a church to ring the bells, because they were just so jazzed she got married in the end. Yeah, one version of the story is the town blacksmith could read well and people would gather to listen to him, and when the main characters finally get married they rang the bells in celebration. It’s such a cute thing. There were the equivalent of fan merchandise too like you’d see at a convention today, like painted fans and playing cards. In sadly the far less happy/pleasant realm of reactions and meltdowns is the legal issues around gross person Vic Mignoia, a voice actor known for some popular anime dubs and better known as a sex pest to coworkers and underage fans. Content warning related to that, but here’s a recent summary (links to the specific topic thread): khy posted:Following the lawspeak and unfamiliar names as a non-law-person is very difficult, so to make sure I understand this totally : A whole lot of kiwi-chud types (who can’t even bother verifying that Vic was the plaintiff in the recent case) are not only melting down, but getting ugly with the judge on Facebook - that’s sure to go well!

They targeted gamers. Gamers. We're a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end performing some of the hardest, most mentally demanding tasks. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a little digital token saying we did. We'll punish our selfs doing things others would consider torture, because we think it's fun. We'll spend most if not all of our free time min maxing the stats of a fictional character all to draw out a single extra point of damage per second. Many of us have made careers out of doing just these things: slogging through the grind, all day, the same quests over and over, hundreds of times to the point where we know evety little detail such that some have attained such gamer nirvana that they can literally play these games blindfolded. Do these people have any idea how many controllers have been smashed, systems over heated, disks and carts destroyed 8n frustration? All to latter be referred to as bragging rights? These people honestly think this is a battle they can win? They take our media? We're already building a new one without them. They take our devs? Gamers aren't shy about throwing their money else where, or even making the games our selves. They think calling us racist, mysoginistic, rape apologists is going to change us? We've been called worse things by prepubescent 10 year olds with a lovely head set. They picked a fight against a group that's already grown desensitized to their strategies and methods. Who enjoy the battle of attrition they've threatened us with. Who take it as a challange when they tell us we no longer matter. Our obsession with proving we can after being told we can't is so deeply ingrained from years of dealing with big brothers/sisters and friends laughing at how pathetic we used to be that proving you people wrong has become a very real need; a honed reflex. Gamers are competative, hard core, by nature. We love a challange. The worst thing you did in all of this was to challange us. You're not special, you're not original, you're not the first; this is just another boss fight.

You can't simultaneously fail at something and succeed at it If they were trying to make liberal college students look bad, and the general public reaction was instead "man chuds are loving manchildren," they failed and got the literal opposite of what they wanted and continuing to dunk them for it is cool and good
