Other What ruined a fandom for you?

I was threatened to be doxxed once in the name of "cleansing the Animal Crossing community".
AKA: They didn't get voted into being a mod and was mad about it.
 
The moment that Pro and Anti shipping discourse enters the space, I'm jumping ship.

The Genshin Impact community, as much as I enjoy the game, is also a cesspool. Seeing VAs get harassment for just doing their job is awful.
 
Ship wars. Omfg it always just ruins my want to be part of a fandom. People just can't go “cool for you, that ship isn't my thing” and move on. Unless it's actually one that's toxic or unhealthy of course.

That and the Genshin Impact fandom literally harassing VAs. It's disheartening and honestly it gives Voltron fandom vibes.
 
Unfortunately, it's usually the out of pocket behavior displayed by the fandom itself. I don't usually engage with the fandom of a franchise or series I otherwise enjoy/love as a result.

Hard lesson learned.
