Art Showcase Featuring KuroBlood
The only fandom that I've noticed as being super obnoxious was the bronies during the height of that group's popularity; all of the bronies I know IRL are just regular otakus now and seemed to have mellowed out. I remember the bronies as being very aggressive. They would colonize other fandoms and just make pony versions of everything, not to mention they seemed very sympathetic to things like GamerGate and other alt-right nonsense. I remember them seeming to enjoy making other people uncomfortable and wrote off any criticism of their often terrible behavior as people just disliking them because they were bronies, not because they were obnoxious. It was awful and I'm glad that group is mostly gone. The remaining brony hold-outs seem way less annoying than their forebears.
But hey, they made other Internet fandoms, namely otakus and furries, look way better by comparison so that's nice.
I've been on the receiving end of people from other fandoms trying to shove what they're into in my face, trying to 'convert' me before so I know how unpleasant that is, and I'll try not to do that to my friends. I won't outright say that I'm into anthro stuff to them out of the blue, but if it ever comes up in conversation, I'll tell them the truth.
