Let's be real here. The Jojo community is actually made up entirely of people who are either questioning their sexuality or are remarkably secure in it.
JoJo has good action, the animation is pretty good, and the art style is consistently god tier imo. I enjoy watching it, but it's not like one of my favorite shows of all time or anything.
@@AHHHHHHHH21 I mean a song doesn’t have to have a voice in it to be good? And besides there’s only a few fnf songs I would call “bad” (mainly because of bias against the genre that the song covers and YES fnf is not a genre in it of itself.)

Man, I'm a Steven Universe fan, and I enjoy being part of the fandom while the show was running, now since it's over, that place is a mess, the majority of the people that were great, create good content, fan arts, nice theories, discussions, events, they're gone, they realized that the show was over, and how it change them, and move on, what is left is strange and desolated place, each day more empty, but more dense, the people that are still there are slowing growing more and more strange, it's a depressed history, there is a few great people there, but they're losing their motivation to go on, and someday they will became the new gravity falls fandom, it's a sad history.
One of the first anime I ever watched had a character I really liked, so I went to google to look her up. Turns out the majority of the fandom that liked her too was into inflation art of her. That's how I was taught to avoid fandoms and just enjoy whatever I'm watching
Every fandom has toxic people in it, some more than others, but over time I've thankfully managed to avoid the crazy people for the most part. Now all of my interactions with other fans is pretty chill. Also as a fan of MHA I agree - Judge Judy is a better anime hands down.
One thing I find interesting about JoJo fandom is that it has almost no ship wars because everyone is too busy annoying people and because of this the community get -10 cringe points but also +10 cringe points
I have a rule: Depends on how good the fandom is the better or worse it is. If the fandom is light hearted then the content is going to be shit. If the fandom is toxic the content is amazing!
The worst part is when actually good pieces of media have terrible fandoms, because they inadvertently make people steer away from a show or game they may really like.
Yeah it’s the same with everything lad, Hitler was bad moustache man but his paintings are actually pretty cool. Good luck trying to tell your art teacher that tho lmaooooo
yeah, how do you think I can be apart of things like GTA Online Azur lane both these communities are absolute degenerate dogshit, but I can (somewhat) enjoy them, assuming Im not being hunted by one of those outspoken minorities like a fucking heat seaker
a rational human being with an im depth video with down-to-earth takes and points who gives real and good advice throughout the whole video???? subbed.
One anime fandom I really hate is the Evangelion community, especially on social media. A fandom, dedicated to praising a series that portrays the cost of trauma, downplayed my own. Not only did they cyberbully me for my depression, but the majority of them also went so far as to send me death threats and dox me too, all during Lockdown.
@Fredrik Opoku I'm guessing due to him thinking bad people are needed in the world but you can still be religious and think that. Hell that's the basis of many Asian religions if I'm remembering correctly.
A community is a group of people with some equal aspects that makes things involving their same likings, in witch applies with both real life with cultures and internet with series, games or movies, in real life we have the hardcore ideological parties (or religions for specific people) who are groups that takes their beliefs into the extreme even to break a rule from it so they can genocide or other shit like this, the same can be applied with fandoms but the difference is while a ideological party/religion actually doe something to society fandoms does nothing to it and just exist to waist money for a civilization
Literally, I want to be apart of the Cookie Run fandom, but I've heard of the mess that the fandom has been doing to it's members and I'm scared to like cookie run now...
@silent night that's basically what happened for me with Pacific Rim and Halo. It's fine to criticize stuff you don't like, but these communities barely do anything other than complain about the state of their franchises, to the point where I'm sick of it.
I remember this one time I was bullied by Anime fans for liking an Anime that they didn’t like, I was 13 at the time being bullied by fully grown men. Good times.
@@SC-ce3vp I wish someone would’ve told my 13 year old self that, I was less offended and more confused also kinda amazed that a group of adults banded together to bully a 13 year old.
I think it’s true for most fandoms, that the worst people in fandoms get all the attention. I just wanna enjoy things without someone ruining it but that’s never gonna happen.
The thing i hate about fandoms is heavy shipping of characters that are shown to be best friends or have a good bond. People just can't accept a platonic relationship or friendly rivalry anymore. Naw they gotta be fuckin, theres no way they aint fuckin.
@@sloppyoyster5779 this^ I know so many people who dont watch shows and ship characters inbetween them its astounding. But here's the question to the main comment, how hard is it to ignore the shipping part of the community? I mean it probably depends on the fandom you are in but still, as far as I know shippers will only gloat eachothers throat with arguing on "x and y are a better couple because of Z" "No X and B are a better couple because of Z!" They dont talk about ships when the theme isnt for it :/
I was in a similar boat abt anime. Avoided it like the plague. But in recent months, I got into a few shows and found myself enthralled and entertained. No outside POVs, no attention to fandoms, just blind watching through shows and coming out amused.
As a jojo fan I’m sorry for the many sins my brothers have committed, all I wish is that you watch the show before you judge it. I personally just love the craziness of it all, it’s just so fun for me. I suggest you watch it and try to ignore the fan base, you’ll probably like it. Part 1 is a pretty hard part to get into, it’s a pretty basic story since it was made in the 80’s when the basic story wasn’t basic yet. However if you get through part 1 then it’s basically smooth sailing from there. And hey, if you don’t like it then that’s fine, I won’t type up a whole paragraph talking about the sho- oh, I kinda already did that huh? Anyways, try the show, if you like drugs then this is pretty close to that, and have a good day.
I've been binging some of your vids, and whilst i disagree with you on certain things and critical of others, your shit is funny, and I can't lie entertaining. keep up the good work
Judge Judy really is the best anime tho. They really got someone to cosplay as the funny pixel man from the commoners' rap game just to appeal to the young. Clearly the producers know what they're doing.
Not easy to ignore a fandom when I see them almost everywhere. That's probably just a real finicky and irritable part of me talking, but I tend to wait for fandom hype to die down before I get into something I'm curious about. Biggest problem from that point is avoiding spoilers. Which I guess is harder the larger a fandom is. (?) And then when I do get spoiled on something I try and give some more time for me to get back into the mood before I give it another attempt. This usually leads to me getting to whatever is years later or sometimes just never getting to it at all. I need to figure out how to not do this, maybe...
I use MHA as a sort of “gateway drug” to anime. Got my older sister, younger brother, a couple die hard anti-anime friends, and even my fiancé who used to think anime was just weird and childish. Now she watches ahead of me if I give her a chance. Honestly a terrific plot and show so far, one of my favorites. Having said that, I keep them as far away from the fandom as possible
More often than not, horrible fandoms crop up around a legitimately good IP. Usually it has something to do with the stories having an interesting twist or some other form of depth that creates a feeling of “intellectual elitism” amongst the fans because they’re so smooth brained they take a delusional amount of pride in actually discovering the deeper meanings and mysteries of a story.
If there was a fandom over something with just one male character and one female character, said fandom would ship the characters with alternate versions of themselves more than they'd ship them with eachother
No no, they would ship a couple with different characters literally a straight couple? no lets shit the guy with his friend and the girls with her friend and make it gay because we can Kinda like the MHA fandom like it's literally obvious Deku and Uraraka like each other etc. but nope they just ship deku with Bakugo, Todoroki, Female Todoroki, All Might (? help me), whatever the hell else.
It only takes one second to piece together what fandom I’m in and I can tell you I’ve met some of the best people that I’m still friends with after 6-7 years and garbage human beings. It’s crazy how varied the fandom can be, the few awesome people you can share a beer with from the get go, the majority who are normal people with normal lives who just like anthro media, then *that* side that’s easy to get the squad together to make fun of. So sorry for everyone who ran into degenerates and discord mods before anyone else
There's definitely a difference between being a fan and being in the fandom. Fandoms are often obsessive and possessive about their favorite media, while general fans just like the media without being super defensive about it.
I think fandoms are getting toxic or unenjoyable when they create their accepted canon. Like "You have to LOVE this character." or "You have to think this title is dissapointing" in order to be "a real fan". It becomes like a very bad subreddit in where you can predict the Top rated comment from a mile away. Often people from outside a fandom usually have pretty interesting opinions and viewpoints which shouldnt be disregarded. I also hate "the right way" of watching a series or playing a videogame series.
Ive been in some of the worst fandoms- possibly ever. One of which being the furry fandom, which is also my job as a fursuit maker. The fandom itself is so massive that you’re going to find all sorts of people, and for me Ive gotten pretty lucky with the customers I’ve had. Though Ive heard horror stories from others, all my customers have thankfully been relatively normal lol. A good example of the fandom would be Pocari Roo, and SkyeHigh Studios if you wanna gain some more faith in humanity pf
Honestly, in my opinion (as an ex-ex-furry, still confused if I should quit or not) the fandom is the opposite of big good small bad. It's small good big bad. You have to search through mountains of absolute degenerates, deviant sexual criminals, stupid kids and the worst of Twitter SJW types to find a decent group to hang out with. Its unbearable. Tbh the reason why your customers were relatively normal is because the hiper rich furries are usually the most normal. And they're the ones who can afford suits and stuff.
"Most anime fans are pretty normal people" I'd love to meet them. Cause all I ever get are the small minority. Like everyone ive known makes me cringe out of my skin.
@@bibisebi this. Talk to classmates. I finally found that half of my class are anime enjoyers by talking to them. It doesn't have to be with direct questions like "do you like anime?". Get to know each other first.
It is interesting how different cultures are. I grew up in Eastern Europe and bullying someone for liking comic books or manga wasn't a thing at all. Like, I only learned it as an adult that they were associated with nerds in America. Of course, even having comic books was super rare back then because there weren't many around and you could be popular for owning Western comics, but even now I haven't heard of calling anyone a nerd because of that. The same with having hobbies like acting in school theater or doing magic.
Free unsolicited advice- be a fan, don’t engage with the fandom unless you highly curate it to a very select group of people. Social media brings out the loudest and worst people. Plenty of nice people in fandoms but engaging on social media will likely ruin your experience
I follow with never using social media to interact with other fans to heart. Honestly, I never found anything fun being in a server of the fandom I'm in.
I like jojo for the animation, the song references, and the sheer amazement that the unbelieveable plot brings. However, i understand that people ruin everything.
I had never even seen a shooting star before. 25 years of rotations, passes through comets' paths, and travel, and to my memory I had never witnessed burning debris scratch across the night sky. Radiohead were hunched over their instruments. Thom Yorke slowly beat on a grand piano, singing, eyes closed, into his microphone like he was trying to kiss around a big nose. Colin Greenwood tapped patiently on a double bass, waiting for his cue. White pearls of arena light swam over their faces. A lazy disco light spilled artificial constellations inside the aluminum cove of the makeshift stage. The metal skeleton of the stage ate one end of Florence's Piazza Santa Croce, on the steps of the Santa Croce Cathedral. Michelangelo's bones and cobblestone laid beneath. I stared entranced, soaking in Radiohead's new material, chiseling each sound into the best functioning parts of my brain which would be the only sound system for the material for months. The butterscotch lamps along the walls of the tight city square bled upward into the cobalt sky, which seemed as strikingly artificial and perfect as a wizard's cap. The staccato piano chords ascended repeatedly. "Black eyed angels swam at me," Yorke sang like his dying words. "There was nothing to fear, nothing to hide." The trained critical part of me marked the similarity to Coltrane's "Ole." The human part of me wept in awe. The Italians surrounding me held their breath in communion (save for the drunken few shouting "Criep!"). Suddenly, a rise of whistles and orgasmic cries swept unfittingly through the crowd. The song, "Egyptian Song," was certainly momentous, but wasn't the response more apt for, well, "Creep?" I looked up. I thought it was fireworks. A teardrop of fire shot from space and disappeared behind the church where the syrupy River Arno crawled. Radiohead had the heavens on their side. For further testament, Chip Chanko and I both suffered auto-debilitating accidents in the same week, in different parts of the country, while blasting "Airbag" in our respective Japanese imports. For months, I feared playing the song about car crashes in my car, just as I'd feared passing 18- wheelers after nearly being crushed by one in 1990. With good reason, I suspect Radiohead to possess incomprehensible powers. The evidence is only compounded with Kid A-- the rubber match in the band's legacy-- an album which completely obliterates how albums, and Radiohead themselves, will be considered. Even the heralded OK Computer has been nudged down one spot in Valhalla. Kid A makes rock and roll childish. Considerations on its merits as "rock" (i.e. its radio fodder potential, its guitar riffs, and its hooks) are pointless. Comparing this to other albums is like comparing an aquarium to blue construction paper. And not because it's jazz or fusion or ambient or electronic. Classifications don't come to mind once deep inside this expansive, hypnotic world. Ransom, the philologist hero of C.S. Lewis' Out of the Silent Planet who is kidnapped and taken to another planet, initially finds his scholarship useless in his new surroundings, and just tries to survive the beautiful new world. This is an emotional, psychological experience. Kid A sounds like a clouded brain trying to recall an alien abduction. It's the sound of a band, and its leader, losing faith in themselves, destroying themselves, and subsequently rebuilding a perfect entity. In other words, Radiohead hated being Radiohead, but ended up with the most ideal, natural Radiohead record yet. "Everything in Its Right Place" opens like Close Encounters spaceships communicating with pipe organs. As your ears decide whether the tones are coming or going, Thom Yorke's Cuisinarted voice struggles for its tongue. "Everything," Yorke belts in uplifting sighs. The first-person mantra of "There are two colors in my head" is repeated until the line between Yorke's mind and the listener's mind is erased. Skittering toy boxes open the album's title song, which, like the track "Idioteque," shows a heavy Warp Records influence. The vocoder lullaby lulls you deceivingly before the riotous "National Anthem." Mean, fuzzy bass shapes the spine as unnerving theremin choirs limn. Brash brass bursts from above like Terry Gilliam's animated foot. The horns swarm as Yorke screams, begs, "Turn it off!" It's the album's shrill peak, but just one of the incessant goosebumps raisers. After the rockets exhaust, Radiohead float in their lone orbit. "How to Disappear Completely" boils down "Let Down" and "Karma Police" to their spectral essence. The string-laden ballad comes closest to bridging Yorke's lyrical sentiment to the instrumental effect. "I float down the Liffey/ I'm not here/ This isn't happening," he sings in his trademark falsetto. The strings melt and weep as the album shifts into its underwater mode. "Treefingers," an ambient soundscape similar in sound and intent to Side B of Bowie and Eno's Low, calms after the record's emotionally strenuous first half. The primal, brooding guitar attack of "Optimistic" stomps like mating Tyrannosaurs. The lyrics seemingly taunt, "Try the best you can/ Try the best you can," before revealing the more resigned sentiment, "The best you can is good enough." For an album reportedly "lacking" in traditional Radiohead moments, this is the best summation of their former strengths. The track erodes into a light jam before morphing into "In Limbo." "I'm lost at sea," Yorke cries over clean, uneasy arpeggios. The ending flares with tractor beams as Yorke is vacuumed into nothingness. The aforementioned "Idioteque" clicks and thuds like Aphex Twin and Bjork's Homogenic, revealing brilliant new frontiers for the "band." For all the noise to this point, it's uncertain entirely who or what has created the music. There are rarely traditional arrangements in the ambiguous origin. This is part of the unique thrill of experiencing Kid A. Pulsing organs and a stuttering snare delicately propel "Morning Bell." Yorke's breath can be heard frosting over the rainy, gray jam. Words accumulate and stick in his mouth like eye crust. "Walking walking walking walking," he mumbles while Jonny Greenwood squirts whale-chant feedback from his guitar. The closing "Motion Picture Soundtrack" brings to mind The White Album, as it somehow combines the sentiment of Lennon's LP1 closer-- the ode to his dead mother, "Julia"-- with Ringo and Paul’s maudlin, yet sincere LP2 finale, "Goodnight." Pump organ and harp flutter as Yorke condones with affection, "I think you're crazy." To further emphasize your feeling at that moment and the album's overall theme, Yorke bows out with "I will see you in the next life." If you're not already there with him. The experience and emotions tied to listening to Kid A are like witnessing the stillborn birth of a child while simultaneously having the opportunity to see her play in the afterlife on Imax. It's an album of sparking paradox. It's cacophonous yet tranquil, experimental yet familiar, foreign yet womb-like, spacious yet visceral, textured yet vaporous, awakening yet dreamlike, infinite yet 48 minutes. It will cleanse your brain of those little crustaceans of worries and inferior albums clinging inside the fold of your gray matter. The harrowing sounds hit from unseen angles and emanate with inhuman genesis. When the headphones peel off, and it occurs that six men (Nigel Godrich included) created this, it's clear that Radiohead must be the greatest band alive, if not the best since you know who. Breathing people made this record! And you can't wait to dive back in and try to prove that wrong over and over.
@@idioticmax6035 you see, believe it or not, but this is an actual review for an album, the album in question is Kid A from Radiohead. I don't listen to Radiohead, but this review was so pretentious, I had to us it as a copypasta.

I mean most anime and anime-inspired content I've seen and observed now a days are very repetitive and fan servicey. Its going the way of like how cartoons became a souless husk.
@@shellshockedgerman3947 I wouldn't say every anime does this but generally romcom and trash isekais have to have a n ecchi scene or two to sell their series
@@samuelginting3213 True. Although that extends way past ecchi now. I don't know why we gotta keep having cheap fan service in anime even though most could do without it.
yeah and then there's MHA fandom (the pedos) and the JoJo fandom (the kids who think a 2012 anime meme is still funny) let kono dio da die already, you got jojo part 5 memes
I mean if you REALLY want to, you could make an argument for anti-natalism if you were particularly edgy enough. But yeah, the fact that fandoms have to gatekeep to keep their communities somewhat not "retarded" for a lack of a better term on my part, is really sad.
I feel like theres a difference between not letting people enjoy a thing because they arent doing it ""correctly" (gatekeeping) and trying to stop the bandwagoners from joining a fanbase. Fanbases that naturally grow are usually the best, fanbases that become the "cool thing" to do or become the big popular game/show/streamer in a short period of time generally get a ton of (i hate this word but i dont really have anything else to describe it) normies who only do popular thing SOLELY because its popular. Those are also usually the fanbases that get large hate-bases after a month or 2. Like what happened to Dream after blowing up, or Friday Night Funkin. It sucks but it just happens. The best thing to do is just enjoy what you like and not care about others, and if you dont enjoy something, express your opinion politely and dont harass people.
Fandoms are what keep me away from getting in the fandom. When a new show or game comes out and everyone plays it, I won't for a while because it's popular. If something is popular it's obviously gonna be swarmed with either braindead kids or people with time on their hands that shouldn't be given.
Sonic in particular is so bizarre to me because it has that really weird side with all the OCs, sexual stuff, and etc. that people frequently bring up when talking about it. Then on the other end of things it has the oddly talented and driven side that actually make cool stuff and end up making names for themselves like Tyson Hesse, Christian Whitehead, and others.
Man some of the most enjoyable sonic media comes from that awesome side of the community. Sonic: Before the Sequel and After the Sequel comes to mind. The dude who made those games went on to create Spark the Electric Jester and its sequels. Also Sonic Paradox does that whole Sonic Legacy comic series on top of their lengthy history of animated content
@@GhostGum I had the same reason for not watching anime for a long time but it got to a point where I had found a anime I really wanted to watch and so I basically said screw it and so the first anime I ever watched was my hero academia and when I finished it I had zero regrets cause it was pretty good.
Night in the Woods is an amazing game that had me contemplating every mistake I've made in my entire life and I'd recommend anybody play it, but my god the fandom around it is insufferable. The characters are all animals so furries have invaded every sub, forum and comment section even vaguely related to the game. Also it's a near-perfect replica of all those awful sonic recoloured character drawings where people just take an existing character, palette swap them and give them some vague, deep name and backstory.
This is pretty much exactly what it is. When Undertale came out I was a sort of young person with lots of problems. Discovered it through some jokes or whatever. It was what can only be rightfully called an insanely based experience. Then I discovered fan animations. They were incredible. Then I discovered alt-history fangames and through that alt-reality stuff. A large part of it was about the music.. I`m the kind of person to listen to something once, think about the interesting parts and then do that again like 4 months later. The music there wasn`t about lyrics of any kind or background mood. The music was the thing there. It`s a very intense fight to which a lot of really important things led up. I was also slightly edgy while trying to find myself, so that was cool. It took quite a bit of time to get through everything, so by the time I got to alt-reality stuff, I was already invested. I got used to the charrecters and the world, I had more then just a very shallow meaningless plot understanding. It was all a core thing in my knowledge. So when there are all kinds of weird fan-rethoughts, it actually has meaning, because of how everything would change in this thing that is already an accepted norm also with additional nuances and me being used to it. That wasn`t much, just oh yeah cool. But whatever it was, it had meaning. Then the community became more centralized in a way. But what do we all do now if the whole thing is about just cool random rethoughts? And then it all went bigger, longer and uncut. Nobody really even cared enough to care about caring about why it means what it means. It was just a race to create the weirdest and most shiny new thing, and some of it actually was pretty good, interesting, and still had meaning. But the tone of things just became "that but X10". It just lost what made it good for a lot of people, and their replacements were more people that found it interesting to just make weird stuff up without anything more. That was not bad in any way, and was still fun, but 2+2 became 5 and the whole math broke. And then started a positive feedback loop of just making stuff up for fun, which nobody understood unless they experienced the "culture" of who creates the stuff. Now Undertale is a shallow but still really fun community that is incredibly weird on the outside, but also super casual about what they are doing so it seems an incredibly polarized and radical place full of nonsense. And a lot of people who were there earlier now only have disappointment to share
I remember when I met my girlfriend after she learned I watched anime (and still did it) said: "but you are normal" as if every anime fan she had ever met was the most toxic kind of weeb ever. Maybe it helped that in latin America Dragon Ball Z was like a religion so anime was never as uncool as it seems to be in other places. So I never felt pressured to leave it even when I played physical sports too. I feel feminism in general has the same issues too. Most of them are "normal" but the stereotype that floats to the surface is the pink haired obese middle aged woman who screams to get her point across Regarding my girlfriend...I made her watch Fullmetal Alchemist on her own and she never looked back, she's even recommending me animes now ^^
I am from Brazil, here a lot of people love DBZ. My favorite saga is Cell saga, i loved the concepts of time machines, androids and stuff like that. I also enjoyed Piccolo Daimaoh saga on OG DB a lot, my 3rd favorite. For 2nd place i think it would be Frieza saga. Now, for 4th place, i'm either with Moro saga on Super manga or Baby saga on GT. I think i go with Moro.
@@kinoposts I dunno what people expect, the only reason I watched AOT was because my friend recommended it in a respectful manner that let me feel like it was completely my choice
Anime is overrated to an extent. The anime itself is fine but its just overhyped cartoon characters. I know theres deeper meaning to anime, but on paper thats what it is.
@@andrew_cunningham For the most part, yes, but there's always going to be those people who bully you for summoning instead of doing a deprived no armor fists only no damage no lock on no firekeeper run of the game with a banana. That sort of "difficulty elitism" I could live without.
it is my goal to make a piece of media that is so good, so well balanced, so special and good, that there will be: 1) no shipping outside of characters comforts 2) no creepy fans 3) no people saying that other people's opinions are trash Too bad such universe or dimension doesn't exists
Well, that's not really up to the creator of the work. Doesn't matter how good the piece of media is, if some creep watches it and likes it they can say whatever they want about it
Too late Friday night funking grew in a year and fell under a year. Stephen universe just went to absolute shit because they didn’t give a shit about the message they just wanted to throw virtue signalling.
I have to say, I'm not even remotely associated with the AC fandom, but every time I've looked up the soundtrack the comments are all some variant of: "This made me cry when I was 12" "BRUH me too" "*2000 word essay about how the emotional arc of the protagonist is the deepest in all fiction and served as the foundation for the writer's entire adult worldview" So yeah, your claim checks out.
9:06 my aunt likes K-Pop and when I'm at her house she puts it often, to be honest, the music isn't THAT bad, but it definitely isn't really my style, and when I talked with my aunt about the K-Pop fan base, she was pretty disappointed to hear that people who share a common interest with her send death threats, dox and many other deplorable things to people who disagree with them in the slightest
7:36 I agree, at first I was reluctant to get into jojo and undertale because of the fandoms but I just ignored the bad side of them and enjoyed it so much more
Even fandoms that seem pretty chill have their dark side. You'd think fans of Studio Ghibli are cool and all until you find the ones who will humiliate you if you didn't watch a movie in Japanese with subtitles. Also, Legend of Zelda has a decent fandom, but a lot of people seem to think Nintendo works for them and them only, and has no right to work on their other game franchises.

@@meatiest1989 I would reply with "ooga booga"
If they call it "Community" then it's safe, if they usually call it "Fandom" then you are in for a ride.
A community is a group of people with some equal aspects that makes things involving their same likings, in witch applies with both real life with cultures and internet with series, games or movies, in real life we have the hardcore ideological parties (or religions for specific people) who are groups that takes their beliefs into the extreme even to break a rule from it so they can genocide or other shit like this, the same can be applied with fandoms but the difference is while a ideological party/religion actually doe something to society fandoms does nothing to it and just exist to waist money for a civilization

As a jojo fan I’m sorry for the many sins my brothers have committed, all I wish is that you watch the show before you judge it. I personally just love the craziness of it all, it’s just so fun for me. I suggest you watch it and try to ignore the fan base, you’ll probably like it. Part 1 is a pretty hard part to get into, it’s a pretty basic story since it was made in the 80’s when the basic story wasn’t basic yet. However if you get through part 1 then it’s basically smooth sailing from there. And hey, if you don’t like it then that’s fine, I won’t type up a whole paragraph talking about the sho- oh, I kinda already did that huh?

Not easy to ignore a fandom when I see them almost everywhere. That's probably just a real finicky and irritable part of me talking, but I tend to wait for fandom hype to die down before I get into something I'm curious about.
Biggest problem from that point is avoiding spoilers. Which I guess is harder the larger a fandom is. (?) And then when I do get spoiled on something I try and give some more time for me to get back into the mood before I give it another attempt.
This usually leads to me getting to whatever is years later or sometimes just never getting to it at all. I need to figure out how to not do this, maybe...

More often than not, horrible fandoms crop up around a legitimately good IP. Usually it has something to do with the stories having an interesting twist or some other form of depth that creates a feeling of “intellectual elitism” amongst the fans because they’re so smooth brained they take a delusional amount of pride in actually discovering the deeper meanings and mysteries of a story.
I don’t usually like lumping fandoms together but I’ve never met a Homestuck fan who was a good person.
If there was a fandom over something with just one male character and one female character, said fandom would ship the characters with alternate versions of themselves more than they'd ship them with eachother

There's definitely a difference between being a fan and being in the fandom. Fandoms are often obsessive and possessive about their favorite media, while general fans just like the media without being super defensive about it.

I think fandoms are getting toxic or unenjoyable when they create their accepted canon. Like "You have to LOVE this character." or "You have to think this title is dissapointing" in order to be "a real fan". It becomes like a very bad subreddit in where you can predict the Top rated comment from a mile away. Often people from outside a fandom usually have pretty interesting opinions and viewpoints which shouldnt be disregarded.
I also hate "the right way" of watching a series or playing a videogame series.
Fallout for example

Ive been in some of the worst fandoms- possibly ever. One of which being the furry fandom, which is also my job as a fursuit maker. The fandom itself is so massive that you’re going to find all sorts of people, and for me Ive gotten pretty lucky with the customers I’ve had. Though Ive heard horror stories from others, all my customers have thankfully been relatively normal lol. A good example of the fandom would be Pocari Roo, and SkyeHigh Studios if you wanna gain some more faith in humanity pf
Honestly, in my opinion (as an ex-ex-furry, still confused if I should quit or not) the fandom is the opposite of big good small bad. It's small good big bad. You have to search through mountains of absolute degenerates, deviant sexual criminals, stupid kids and the worst of Twitter SJW types to find a decent group to hang out with. Its unbearable. Tbh the reason why your customers were relatively normal is because the hiper rich furries are usually the most normal. And they're the ones who can afford suits and stuff.

"Most anime fans are pretty normal people"

It is interesting how different cultures are. I grew up in Eastern Europe and bullying someone for liking comic books or manga wasn't a thing at all.

The intro to the video basically described my highschool experience, aside from the sports... way more CS:GO than Hockey.
I like jojo for the animation, the song references, and the sheer amazement that the unbelieveable plot brings. However, i understand that people ruin everything.
I had never even seen a shooting star before. 25 years of rotations, passes through comets' paths, and travel, and to my memory I had never witnessed burning debris scratch across the night sky. Radiohead were hunched over their instruments. Thom Yorke slowly beat on a grand piano, singing, eyes closed, into his microphone like he was trying to kiss around a big nose. Colin Greenwood tapped patiently on a double bass, waiting for his cue. White pearls of arena light swam over their faces. A lazy disco light spilled artificial constellations inside the aluminum cove of the makeshift stage. The metal skeleton of the stage ate one end of Florence's Piazza Santa Croce, on the steps of the Santa Croce Cathedral. Michelangelo's bones and cobblestone laid beneath. I stared entranced, soaking in Radiohead's new material, chiseling each sound into the best functioning parts of my brain which would be the only sound system for the material for months.
The butterscotch lamps along the walls of the tight city square bled upward into the cobalt sky, which seemed as strikingly artificial and perfect as a wizard's cap. The staccato piano chords ascended repeatedly. "Black eyed angels swam at me," Yorke sang like his dying words. "There was nothing to fear, nothing to hide." The trained critical part of me marked the similarity to Coltrane's "Ole." The human part of me wept in awe.
The Italians surrounding me held their breath in communion (save for the drunken few shouting "Criep!"). Suddenly, a rise of whistles and orgasmic cries swept unfittingly through the crowd. The song, "Egyptian Song," was certainly momentous, but wasn't the response more apt for, well, "Creep?" I looked up. I thought it was fireworks. A teardrop of fire shot from space and disappeared behind the church where the syrupy River Arno crawled. Radiohead had the heavens on their side.
For further testament, Chip Chanko and I both suffered auto-debilitating accidents in the same week, in different parts of the country, while blasting "Airbag" in our respective Japanese imports. For months, I feared playing the song about car crashes in my car, just as I'd feared passing 18- wheelers after nearly being crushed by one in 1990. With good reason, I suspect Radiohead to possess incomprehensible powers. The evidence is only compounded with Kid A-- the rubber match in the band's legacy-- an album which completely obliterates how albums, and Radiohead themselves, will be considered.
Even the heralded OK Computer has been nudged down one spot in Valhalla. Kid A makes rock and roll childish. Considerations on its merits as "rock" (i.e. its radio fodder potential, its guitar riffs, and its hooks) are pointless. Comparing this to other albums is like comparing an aquarium to blue construction paper. And not because it's jazz or fusion or ambient or electronic. Classifications don't come to mind once deep inside this expansive, hypnotic world. Ransom, the philologist hero of C.S. Lewis' Out of the Silent Planet who is kidnapped and taken to another planet, initially finds his scholarship useless in his new surroundings, and just tries to survive the beautiful new world.
This is an emotional, psychological experience. Kid A sounds like a clouded brain trying to recall an alien abduction. It's the sound of a band, and its leader, losing faith in themselves, destroying themselves, and subsequently rebuilding a perfect entity. In other words, Radiohead hated being Radiohead, but ended up with the most ideal, natural Radiohead record yet.
"Everything in Its Right Place" opens like Close Encounters spaceships communicating with pipe organs. As your ears decide whether the tones are coming or going, Thom Yorke's Cuisinarted voice struggles for its tongue. "Everything," Yorke belts in uplifting sighs. The first-person mantra of "There are two colors in my head" is repeated until the line between Yorke's mind and the listener's mind is erased.
Skittering toy boxes open the album's title song, which, like the track "Idioteque," shows a heavy Warp Records influence. The vocoder lullaby lulls you deceivingly before the riotous "National Anthem." Mean, fuzzy bass shapes the spine as unnerving theremin choirs limn. Brash brass bursts from above like Terry Gilliam's animated foot. The horns swarm as Yorke screams, begs, "Turn it off!" It's the album's shrill peak, but just one of the incessant goosebumps raisers.
After the rockets exhaust, Radiohead float in their lone orbit. "How to Disappear Completely" boils down "Let Down" and "Karma Police" to their spectral essence. The string-laden ballad comes closest to bridging Yorke's lyrical sentiment to the instrumental effect. "I float down the Liffey/ I'm not here/ This isn't happening," he sings in his trademark falsetto. The strings melt and weep as the album shifts into its underwater mode. "Treefingers," an ambient soundscape similar in sound and intent to Side B of Bowie and Eno's Low, calms after the record's emotionally strenuous first half.
The primal, brooding guitar attack of "Optimistic" stomps like mating Tyrannosaurs. The lyrics seemingly taunt, "Try the best you can/ Try the best you can," before revealing the more resigned sentiment, "The best you can is good enough." For an album reportedly "lacking" in traditional Radiohead moments, this is the best summation of their former strengths. The track erodes into a light jam before morphing into "In Limbo." "I'm lost at sea," Yorke cries over clean, uneasy arpeggios. The ending flares with tractor beams as Yorke is vacuumed into nothingness. The aforementioned "Idioteque" clicks and thuds like Aphex Twin and Bjork's Homogenic, revealing brilliant new frontiers for the "band." For all the noise to this point, it's uncertain entirely who or what has created the music. There are rarely traditional arrangements in the ambiguous origin. This is part of the unique thrill of experiencing Kid A.
Pulsing organs and a stuttering snare delicately propel "Morning Bell." Yorke's breath can be heard frosting over the rainy, gray jam. Words accumulate and stick in his mouth like eye crust. "Walking walking walking walking," he mumbles while Jonny Greenwood squirts whale-chant feedback from his guitar. The closing "Motion Picture Soundtrack" brings to mind The White Album, as it somehow combines the sentiment of Lennon's LP1 closer-- the ode to his dead mother, "Julia"-- with Ringo and Paul’s maudlin, yet sincere LP2 finale, "Goodnight." Pump organ and harp flutter as Yorke condones with affection, "I think you're crazy." To further emphasize your feeling at that moment and the album's overall theme, Yorke bows out with "I will see you in the next life." If you're not already there with him.
The experience and emotions tied to listening to Kid A are like witnessing the stillborn birth of a child while simultaneously having the opportunity to see her play in the afterlife on Imax. It's an album of sparking paradox. It's cacophonous yet tranquil, experimental yet familiar, foreign yet womb-like, spacious yet visceral, textured yet vaporous, awakening yet dreamlike, infinite yet 48 minutes. It will cleanse your brain of those little crustaceans of worries and inferior albums clinging inside the fold of your gray matter. The harrowing sounds hit from unseen angles and emanate with inhuman genesis. When the headphones peel off, and it occurs that six men (Nigel Godrich included) created this, it's clear that Radiohead must be the greatest band alive, if not the best since you know who. Breathing people made this record! And you can't wait to dive back in and try to prove that wrong over and over.

the sad part about the whole anime becoming normalized is that at least from what ive been noticing, its already starting to go back to being frowned upon pretty hard, anime normalization was just a phase of this generation
I saw some ugly, chubby girl in rainbow stockings and cat ears with her mom at the clothing store I work at. If people got the balls to go out in public like that jfc they can do anything. There are kids who wear pajamas to my technical school! Probably the biggest trend I hate is dyed hair, if I see someone with dyed hair its always a huge red flag. I know from experience, most of them have some weird shit going on under the hood!
But fr, if there was a decent girl that wears cat ears id be down af

I mean most anime and anime-inspired content I've seen and observed now a days are very repetitive and fan servicey. Its going the way of like how cartoons became a souless husk.
@@shellshockedgerman3947 I wouldn't say every anime does this but generally romcom and trash isekais have to have a n ecchi scene or two to sell their series
@@samuelginting3213 True. Although that extends way past ecchi now. I don't know why we gotta keep having cheap fan service in anime even though most could do without it.

F* genius.
The fact that fandoms have devolved to a point where an argument for gatekeeping can be made is very sad.
I mean if you REALLY want to, you could make an argument for anti-natalism if you were particularly edgy enough. But yeah, the fact that fandoms have to gatekeep to keep their communities somewhat not "retarded" for a lack of a better term on my part, is really sad.
I feel like theres a difference between not letting people enjoy a thing because they arent doing it ""correctly" (gatekeeping) and trying to stop the bandwagoners from joining a fanbase. Fanbases that naturally grow are usually the best, fanbases that become the "cool thing" to do or become the big popular game/show/streamer in a short period of time generally get a ton of (i hate this word but i dont really have anything else to describe it) normies who only do popular thing SOLELY because its popular. Those are also usually the fanbases that get large hate-bases after a month or 2. Like what happened to Dream after blowing up, or Friday Night Funkin. It sucks but it just happens. The best thing to do is just enjoy what you like and not care about others, and if you dont enjoy something, express your opinion politely and dont harass people.
@@huvarda finally someone speaking facts!
@@huvarda Very well said.
@@huvarda good facts
My biggest takeaway from this was that I was missing out on the ABSOLUTE BANGER that is "Soul Lady"
Fandoms are what keep me away from getting in the fandom. When a new show or game comes out and everyone plays it, I won't for a while because it's popular. If something is popular it's obviously gonna be swarmed with either braindead kids or people with time on their hands that shouldn't be given.
Like how fnf was ruined by little children even though it’s not a kids game
Sonic in particular is so bizarre to me because it has that really weird side with all the OCs, sexual stuff, and etc. that people frequently bring up when talking about it. Then on the other end of things it has the oddly talented and driven side that actually make cool stuff and end up making names for themselves like Tyson Hesse, Christian Whitehead, and others.
Man some of the most enjoyable sonic media comes from that awesome side of the community. Sonic: Before the Sequel and After the Sequel comes to mind. The dude who made those games went on to create Spark the Electric Jester and its sequels.
Also Sonic Paradox does that whole Sonic Legacy comic series on top of their lengthy history of animated content
The Sonic fandom has made better Sonic content than Sega in recent years
@@valemontgomery9401 That's because Sega started hiring fanfic authors or some shit

I agree with this sentiment. GG is one of the best on UA-cam right now
@@GhostGum I had the same reason for not watching anime for a long time but it got to a point where I had found a anime I really wanted to watch and so I basically said screw it and so the first anime I ever watched was my hero academia and when I finished it I had zero regrets cause it was pretty good.
@Fredrik Opoku my hero academia. it’s on Hulu
@Fredrik Opoku sorry I couldn’t tell
Night in the Woods is an amazing game that had me contemplating every mistake I've made in my entire life and I'd recommend anybody play it, but my god the fandom around it is insufferable. The characters are all animals so furries have invaded every sub, forum and comment section even vaguely related to the game. Also it's a near-perfect replica of all those awful sonic recoloured character drawings where people just take an existing character, palette swap them and give them some vague, deep name and backstory.
I love this video so much!
i just gave JoJo a try finally. I was also off put by the fandom but ended up really liking the show
The problem with JoJo fans is that the cool ones don't always talk about JoJo, and are thus harder to recognize
I don't get it , I got into JoJo thanks to memes , what you all mean with fandom being bad
I don't think actual fans of the anime/manga try to ruin it other than spoiling later parts
Tbh I feel like the JoJo fandom is just more annoying than toxic, I have seen incredibly little real toxic JoJo fans compared to the cool JoJo fans
@@BurnPerimeter being annoying is part of toxicity Don't sugar coat it. Sounds like a copium

This is pretty much exactly what it is. When Undertale came out I was a sort of young person with lots of problems. Discovered it through some jokes or whatever. It was what can only be rightfully called an insanely based experience. Then I discovered fan animations. They were incredible. Then I discovered alt-history fangames and through that alt-reality stuff. A large part of it was about the music.. I`m the kind of person to listen to something once, think about the interesting parts and then do that again like 4 months later. The music there wasn`t about lyrics of any kind or background mood. The music was the thing there. It`s a very intense fight to which a lot of really important things led up. I was also slightly edgy while trying to find myself, so that was cool. It took quite a bit of time to get through everything, so by the time I got to alt-reality stuff, I was already invested. I got used to the charrecters and the world, I had more then just a very shallow meaningless plot understanding. It was all a core thing in my knowledge. So when there are all kinds of weird fan-rethoughts, it actually has meaning, because of how everything would change in this thing that is already an accepted norm also with additional nuances and me being used to it. That wasn`t much, just oh yeah cool. But whatever it was, it had meaning. Then the community became more centralized in a way. But what do we all do now if the whole thing is about just cool random rethoughts? And then it all went bigger, longer and uncut. Nobody really even cared enough to care about caring about why it means what it means. It was just a race to create the weirdest and most shiny new thing, and some of it actually was pretty good, interesting, and still had meaning. But the tone of things just became "that but X10". It just lost what made it good for a lot of people, and their replacements were more people that found it interesting to just make weird stuff up without anything more. That was not bad in any way, and was still fun, but 2+2 became 5 and the whole math broke. And then started a positive feedback loop of just making stuff up for fun, which nobody understood unless they experienced the "culture" of who creates the stuff. Now Undertale is a shallow but still really fun community that is incredibly weird on the outside, but also super casual about what they are doing so it seems an incredibly polarized and radical place full of nonsense. And a lot of people who were there earlier now only have disappointment to share
im one of those people who watch almost every anime, play every game, but i refuse to be apart of fandoms.
I remember when I met my girlfriend after she learned I watched anime (and still did it) said: "but you are normal" as if every anime fan she had ever met was the most toxic kind of weeb ever.
Maybe it helped that in latin America Dragon Ball Z was like a religion so anime was never as uncool as it seems to be in other places. So I never felt pressured to leave it even when I played physical sports too.
I feel feminism in general has the same issues too. Most of them are "normal" but the stereotype that floats to the surface is the pink haired obese middle aged woman who screams to get her point across
Regarding my girlfriend...I made her watch Fullmetal Alchemist on her own and she never looked back, she's even recommending me animes now ^^
I am from Brazil, here a lot of people love DBZ. My favorite saga is Cell saga, i loved the concepts of time machines, androids and stuff like that. I also enjoyed Piccolo Daimaoh saga on OG DB a lot, my 3rd favorite. For 2nd place i think it would be Frieza saga.
Now, for 4th place, i'm either with Moro saga on Super manga or Baby saga on GT. I think i go with Moro.
Yeah. And I hate it with a passion because of that. The fans are annoyingly stubborn about it
Xd
Aqui dbz es casi una religion
Creo que en parte fue gracias a que lo padaban en la tele como si fuers cualquier otro cartoon mas
>Feminists
>Normal
Pick one
Sweet!

@@kinoposts I dunno what people expect, the only reason I watched AOT was because my friend recommended it in a respectful manner that let me feel like it was completely my choice
Anime is overrated to an extent. The anime itself is fine but its just overhyped cartoon characters. I know theres deeper meaning to anime, but on paper thats what it is.
@@bobbies81 and movies are just moving pictures of people. I understand that they have deeper meaning in movies but that's what it is on paper.
i love how the dark souls fandom did a collaborative effort to inform us that there is no news about elden ring today
And they were supposed to be toxic as shit back in the day too. Such is the team-building power of shared misery.
@@andrew_cunningham For the most part, yes, but there's always going to be those people who bully you for summoning instead of doing a deprived no armor fists only no damage no lock on no firekeeper run of the game with a banana. That sort of "difficulty elitism" I could live without.

If only all fandoms were like ace attorney's fandom, the world would be a much better place
I looked up “Horrible Histories Fandom” because it has a decent super committed fandom. And this video came up.
it is my goal to make a piece of media that is so good, so well balanced, so special and good, that there will be:
1) no shipping outside of characters comforts
2) no creepy fans
3) no people saying that other people's opinions are trash
Too bad such universe or dimension doesn't exists
Well, that's not really up to the creator of the work. Doesn't matter how good the piece of media is, if some creep watches it and likes it they can say whatever they want about it
Too late Friday night funking grew in a year and fell under a year.
Stephen universe just went to absolute shit because they didn’t give a shit about the message they just wanted to throw virtue signalling.
The only media I can think of that’s close to that is Veggie Tales.

"This made me cry when I was 12"
"BRUH me too"

So yeah, your claim checks out.
9:06 my aunt likes K-Pop and when I'm at her house she puts it often, to be honest, the music isn't THAT bad, but it definitely isn't really my style, and when I talked with my aunt about the K-Pop fan base, she was pretty disappointed to hear that people who share a common interest with her send death threats, dox and many other deplorable things to people who disagree with them in the slightest
those kind of toxic trolls are despised by kpop fans too, they give us a bad rep :/
7:36 I agree, at first I was reluctant to get into jojo and undertale because of the fandoms but I just ignored the bad side of them and enjoyed it so much more
Even fandoms that seem pretty chill have their dark side. You'd think fans of Studio Ghibli are cool and all until you find the ones who will humiliate you if you didn't watch a movie in Japanese with subtitles. Also, Legend of Zelda has a decent fandom, but a lot of people seem to think Nintendo works for them and them only, and has no right to work on their other game franchises.
Hope they don’t find me. I always watch their movies in an english dub. The dubs are honestly really good even if the subtitles can be annoying
just add the Nintendo fandoms. all of them. they are some of the most impossible to please chucklef*cks on planet earth
The lotz things is what happens to a mf when you have to wait GTA 6 amounts of time for every single entry in the series
Most fandoms I’m in are chill but there are still toxic and horrible stuff there
I disagree. You should be humiliated for not watching things in their original language period.
