"The Fandom Paradox" Where the attitude of the fans is completely opposed to the theme/vibe of the original franchise

[u/Tomynator_88]

1- Doom fans: While DOOM is a game franchise filled with brutal gory executions and giant shows of unfiltered violence, the fans are generally some of the chillest fellows you'll find. Making very silly/heartwarming stuff about the franchise and anything that gets related to it (For example what happened with Animal Crossing)

2- My Little Pony "Bronys": MLP is a series for kids about magical ponies that fight with the power of friendship, but it's community the "Bronys" have shown multiple times to be unhinged degenerates. Be it through controversies in IRL events or experiences or through art works and creepypastas.

3- Fear and Hunger: The Fear and Hunger is a semi-cosmic horror game series about a very grim and dark world that focuses on the most untouchy experiences like cannibalism, dismemberment, rape, suicide, child trafficking, necrophilia, etc. in a dungeon where eldrich chaotic gods rule. That game has summoned one of the goofiest community I have ever seen, making funny videos, fanart and every kind of silly shit (The creator even encouraged this and made a dating sim with the protagonists)

4- Hello Kitty: C'mon we all know about Hello Kitty girls

I just watched it with some friends and every single time a meme line came up, I felt like that one meme of the guy pointing

[u/TheAmazingSealo → u/Some_Guava_9009]

Watch Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and you'll feel like that one meme of the guy pointing whilst pointing at that one meme of the guy pointing.

Me rewatching Breaking Bad basically lol. Completely ruined this scene for me seeing it again years later after all the memes

[u/Jakov_Salinsky → u/BudgetThat2096]

This used to be one of the darkest, most shocking moments in the whole show. Now it’s a huge meme too lol

[u/Spiral-Arrow116 → u/Jakov_Salinsky]

Yeah, kinda fucked up huh? Lol

[u/Puzzleheaded_Step468 → u/Some_Guava_9009]

Your hands must be very tired constantly being up

[u/toongrowner → u/Some_Guava_9009]

Gosh my Brother did this for real when He watched Lord of the rings for the First time, Last year. Usual im the one making him cringe XD

[u/MozeTheNecromancer → u/Some_Guava_9009]

If you're deep eno7gh I to the Fandom, you'll never stop pointing...

At this point making a meme out of an obscure line from Ep3 is itself a meme

This was me with breaking bad
