(+) Yeah! (+)

Breaking Bad- these suckers think every episode that isn't mind-blowing is a filler episode. They have no attention span to anything less riveting than BB

Guns- can't stand gun nuts. They think every law is an infringement of the 2nd amendment and some even think machine guns should be legal and felons should have their rights back after serving their time. Oh and if you support gun control laws they'll send you death threats. Very fine people.

Star Wars
Doctor Who

I like Rick and Morty. I find it humorous enough. But holy fuck that sauce fiasco.

No, I generally don't pay attention to the communities of stuff I like.

Well yeah that episode was filler obviously

Prog rock, jazz, and extreme metal. Most people are fine but there are a lot of people in those groups who treat their affinity for that music as proof of some sort of intellectual superiority. It gets tiresome.

I liked Undertale

Rick and Morty immediately comes to mind.

I want to say Star Wars, but I haven't really been a SW fan in years.

Rick and Morty immediately comes to mind

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Rick's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick & Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick's existential catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon's genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them.

And yes, by the way, i DO have a Rick & Morty 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

Good job contradicting yourself. Fly is a great episode and a lot of care went into it. Why would you just dismiss it as filler? Its not like the writers had ran out of ideas and had to rush an episode together.

Do you even know what filler means???

oohhh, too late on that young delete button, eh @KronoCloud

As a Chiefs fan whose team also appropriates the Tomahawk Chop, I am offended by this

Anime in general I guess. It has always been stupid that the idea of liking some cool cartoons means you're supposed to enjoy every piece of Japanese animation that exists, even though it comes in so many genres than it would be impossible for one person to actually enjoy them all. But the damn otaku act like everything from Japan must be worshipped no matter how creepy it gets.

I collect figurines and no, I don't jizz on them.

Basically everything I like has a shitty community and I can't stand it

it's weird you see things this way, since my impression of western fans of anime / japanese stuff is that they're often super closed-minded and are extremely negative/critical toward the stuff that's not in their preferred little section of the fandom

As a Dragon Ball fan I am ashamed of a lot of the community, at least the online one.

Soulsborn as well...but then again as somebody who has posted on multiple boards that community really doesn't deserve it's bad reputation IMO, most of them are really nice and helpful people. The GitGud thing is a just a meme that people take way too seriously as it's mostly used in a sarcastic/jokingly way.

Video games in general

They do tend to dislike things that are too "Westernized" I guess, but that falls into my main point that they think the only reason to enjoy anime is because it's Japanese (or whatever warped idea they have of what Japan is "supposed" to be like)

I thought Rick and Morty fans were annoying before the sauce thing.

oh I meant more how if you put a bunch of anime fans in one place they're all just hating on each others tastes. not enough cute girls, too many cute girls; all fluff no plot, too edgy and no fun; overly forced drama, no relationship development; too much power level sillyness, not enough action scenes; etc etc
