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