Don't let the rabid fans ruin it for you

So we've all heard this happen before "the fandom ruined the show/game for me"

I know there are some really bad fandoms out there and all, but if you really like those things, why let a bunch of nutjobs drive you away from something you enjoy?

Like for me, I am still in fandoms despite them having rabid fanatics (like most of the nintendo fanbases, LoL, and apparently steven universe even though i don't really see how its rabid) and even though I've seen some bad experiences with some people, it doesn't stop me from playing or watching what I like.

So for those who fear the rabbid fans, here are some tips to make it so you won't feel driven away (hopefully)

* Everyone has different opinions, and although some people are very sutbborn about their opinions, its sometimes better to just let them think the way they do, not everyone can find logic and all in some things.

* if you do want to debate with people, make sure that they can at least be sensible and willing to listen, same with you.

*if you really do not want to find that many rabid fanatics, stay away from Tumblr. seriously, that's the land of the internet nutjobs... your less likely to run into a lot of nuts here on DA than on tumblr, doesn't mean DA isn't safe from em either, but its much safer than tumblr

* if someone does give you a bad experience, try not to think of it too much. and if it does creep up on you, try and keep your mind away from it.


so yea just something that I wanted to get off my chest a bit, but anyways comment and enjoy
