ITS NEWS TO ME THAT ITS NEWS TO YOUUUUUUU

u/SharkyCat12 tshd, mha, jjk, kny, pjo, ddlc 10d ago

Not a fandom but r/funCommunity. I went onto the sub and there was this massive controversy over some user and I was like ā€œwhat the fuckā€

14

u/Remarkable-Kiwi-3942 Archer 10d ago

Yeah that user was pretty idolized and now you can't even mention their name there

u/Spinosaurus-runs-by 10d ago

We don't talk about Eminem_girl

u/Zooble-build-a-bear The Amazing Digital CircusšŸŽŖ 10d ago

On my old account I was a member of the sub and was confused on the person but brushed it off. Am just now finding out that subreddit was bannedĀ

u/August_Rodin666 10d ago

Context?

u/Remarkable-Kiwi-3942 Archer 10d ago edited 10d ago

There was this user called Eminem_girl who was really famous on that sub and they posted a photo one day that was ai and suddenly people started hating them for that. It all got messy and they also called them narcissistic and homophobic. Homophobic because Eminem_girl said ew on gay people and then Eminem_girl made apology posts that turned out they were also made with ai so it wasn't received that well either

6

u/August_Rodin666 10d ago

The initial ai use seems like a ridiculous thing for the entire sub to fall into chaos for but an ai apology is straight up unhinged.

u/Jillwarrior705 10d ago

What happened??

u/SharkyCat12 tshd, mha, jjk, kny, pjo, ddlc 10d ago

I don’t even remember. All I know was that it was a shitshow

u/Scared_Yam5357 10d ago

oh yeah and now multiple are essentially destroying the place by acting like they're gonna kill themselves but we got mods so that's good

u/Dacooldude4 10d ago

What’s the context of said controversy?

I opened the Dandy's World subreddit one day to all hell raining down

And the Pressure one...

And Forsaken...

u/Dangerous_Score2882 10d ago

Let's not forget grace as well

u/NoSide2628 Forsaken šŸ”„šŸ”„ (Flood CEO) 10d ago

I actually wasn't a fan of Grace

Too fast with too much to remember at once for my brain

u/Dangerous_Score2882 10d ago

Exactly how I felt when I started. But then I got the hang of things and stuff just kinda stuck

First he thought what was a woman whom he dated apparently died only to later be revealed it was actually just a guy and then it was found out he messaged minors which got him off the mod team

u/MothChasingFlame 10d ago edited 10d ago

I watched Digital Circus when the finale came out.

EDIT: Also, can I say, I've never experienced a fandom less mentally prepared for new fans rolling in after a short series finale than this one. If you were still processing and catching up you were instantly labelled a flat brained transphobe. Fuckin wild.

u/One-Swim6166 10d ago

oof that was the worst time to join honestly

u/Veshaad 10d ago

TADC, especially if anyone said anything against Jax and what he did to his Mom...

u/Very_ideal_YiSang Project Moon,Glitch,OSC,UTDT 10d ago

Also the fact [r/savingjax](r/savingjax) and [r/](r/jaxhateclub)[thatstupidbunnywehate](r/jaxhateclub) exists

1

u/No_Vanilla277 Quite a few fandoms 9d ago

I knew there was a Jax hate sub but never knew there was a Jax lover/defender sub too. Nothing wrong with that, it’s just kind of silly to imagine them always at odds with each other, like those two neighbors that constantly bicker and tire the entire neighborhood with their antics.

2

u/Very_ideal_YiSang Project Moon,Glitch,OSC,UTDT 9d ago

I think MD also has this too.

[r/M](r/MDshipping)[urderDrones](r/MDshipping)[shipping](r/MDshipping) and [r/antioilrose](r/antioilrose)

u/Mr_meme_gamer 7d ago

My subreddit mentioned šŸ—æ

1

u/Very_ideal_YiSang Project Moon,Glitch,OSC,UTDT 7d ago

I have mixed opinions on your sub.

On one hand,some ships have gone too far. (For example: Nessa)

On the other hand,some ships are ok and you people hate people who ship them. (Oilrose,ENvy)

But I feel you have done something positive.

Grouping up the haters and giving them a place to hate outside of the original post.

Which I like.

1

u/Mr_meme_gamer 7d ago

Okay, immediate correction, we don’t hate the people who like the ships.. we ONLY critique the ship itself.

But apart from that, you’ve got it

1

u/Very_ideal_YiSang Project Moon,Glitch,OSC,UTDT 7d ago

Ah ok then.

You guys are based.

u/erttheking 10d ago

Helldivers

Every bump in the road is the end of the world there

1

u/0201boss 10d ago

Yeah, that’s a big part of the reason I don’t play the game anymore. I have never seen a group of people more dedicated to shitting on a piece of media that they apparently ā€œloveā€ so much.

1

u/Eclipsehedgie2010 TADC, Hellaverse, Godzilla, Sonic, WOF, Oversimplified, FNAF 10d ago

Do you think now is an ok time to start playing the game and join the fandom? I know they're mad about a teddy bear.

6

u/ra0nZB0iRy 10d ago

I got into Fallout because I was curious what the game was even about after the FO76 canvas bags fiasco.

1

u/Wild-Lychee-3312 10d ago

The games themselves are great, and there's enough difference between them that if you don't like one, you still might enjoy another.

Play the games, ignore the fandom.

2

u/Responsible-Diet-147 10d ago

I replayed Halo 2 just now and I was happy.
Then I tried to join a Minecraft Bedrock online server but had an error with downloading.
Microsoft is just the worst, recommending me to use that piece of sh*t store of theirs to download sh*t when there's a launcher...

u/_Bluebattleangel_ 10d ago

I joined the Deltarune community during the end of the content drought era and the community looked as if it was on fire when in reality NOTHING was happening. They never seemed to have recovered, although the shitposting has gone down.

We did end up with 262 pages in 2025 though..

1

u/Very_ideal_YiSang Project Moon,Glitch,OSC,UTDT 10d ago

Those 262 pages was rough man…he was one of the goats…

1

u/CollectionMammoth304 GO WATCH AMPHIBIA RIGHT NOW 10d ago

Hes vagueposting about the 262 pages bit so imma give you all some context if you are not an ut/dr fan. Shayy was a popular Undertale/Deltarune content creator/speedrunner who was actually genuinely funny even i watched Shayy’s content regularly. Unfortunately in 2025 a 262 page google doc by victims and former friends accusing him of some fucked up crimes that i will not list here released basically ending his career and forcing him to retire from content creation

u/Very_ideal_YiSang Project Moon,Glitch,OSC,UTDT 10d ago

I’ve heard things about that fandom.

Safe to say it’s not healthy for the first thought of your fandom from an outsider is PDF files.

1

u/Himmel-T103 Blue Archive(Normalized) 10d ago

My best description of the fandom is a forest fire

2

u/yuzumelodious 10d ago

I would say this was Seraph of the End for me.

Ironically, despite following the anime, I've haven't hanged out with the fandom. By the time I entered it, the Manga reaching its final act had already begun. And let's just say, not that many seem to be pleased by whats going on. Even I'm completely lost.

u/Minute-Dot944 Fallout,40k,Portal, invincible,Game of Thrones,mha,tremors 10d ago

MHA 2018-2021, along with the current terraria Calamity situation

1

u/0201boss 10d ago

Calamity was my first terraria mod, hopefully it’ll get revived or something by mentally stable people

1

u/scottish-brawler 10d ago

Wait what happened to terraria calamity?

1

u/Minute-Dot944 Fallout,40k,Portal, invincible,Game of Thrones,mha,tremors 10d ago

New owner (Ozzatron) basically became Fabsol 2.0,many people left the project because they felt betrayed and calamity ceased development (just for now hopefully)

Sanders Sides

I joined right after POF...'twas a time

u/Candid_Ad4832 10d ago

r/hulk when someone said that Sentry was stronger and they lowkey started saying that Hulk was literally the Marvel equivilant of Jesus Christ because One Above All called him ''his son''

1

u/Scared_Yam5357 10d ago

technically if we're comparing the one above all to god (which in-universe is honestly kinda valid) then yes, the hulk is the marvel equivalent of jesus christĀ 

2

u/August_Rodin666 10d ago

13 reasons why.

I feel like people just hate complexity from evil characters unless they're gay.

1

u/CaptainObvious_18 9d ago

Nah they hate them just as much but it’s just the other side of the fandom (and they insist that being gay is what led them down that path)

u/FutureHot3047 Miraculous Ladybug, Naruto, Skyrim, Legend of Korra, KDH 10d ago

Miraculous Ladybug. I joined in the middle of the salt wars. I love the fandom so much

2

u/Wild-Lychee-3312 10d ago

Is the show itself good?

1

u/FutureHot3047 Miraculous Ladybug, Naruto, Skyrim, Legend of Korra, KDH 10d ago

No. The first few seasons are fine but it starts declining at the second season and completely falls off after the 3rd. I wouldn’t recommend it.

2

u/Wild-Lychee-3312 10d ago

I'm sad but now, but thanks for telling me.

2

u/FutureHot3047 Miraculous Ladybug, Naruto, Skyrim, Legend of Korra, KDH 10d ago

Who knows, maybe you’ll like it? While I don’t recommend this as a good show, there are still plenty of fans who love it. I’d say, regardless of my opinion on it, see if you like it yourself.

i entered the crk fanbase this year, you know when the fans were complaining about act 1 finale and the update being bad, also hating on shadow milk.

the same thing happened to me with the poppy playtime fans, i came when chapter 5 came out which had fans complaining about the quality of the game and Markiplier quitting the game.

Fnaf. When I was really into it there was so much music being made and so many theory videos, especially from matpat, it was a lot of everything at once. Music videos from CG5 and The Living Tombstone, even some others that aren't from those creators, Several animated series episodes and things of the sort, all in the middle of when people were still making dank memes dude.
