But I have no shame in being a furry

For real though life is short if you had fun then fuck it

That's what fucks me over, though. Seven (give or take depending when you started, I started reading at the end of the intermission) years in the Homestuck fanbase. That's a lot of time to waste on that shit.

are you me

Marvel. Fuck the current comics, fuck the current shows, fuck the current games, and yes, fuck the MCU, which turned out to be the worst kind of cancer imaginable.

Steven Universe is an alright show. It's a shame it's become a MLP-tier embarrassment solely because of the cancerous fanbase.

Same. Used to draw (human) porn, so thankfully it was as bad.

Homestuck. The original stuff is just good enough to make up for the unrelenting shithole that it is now.

I also liked horse show for a little while but I never really got into it enough to consider myself "active," and it was already after the term "brony" went out of style.

Undertale, played way back in the day and even backed it with 30 buckaroos

...

>way back in the day

kys

>homestuck
>even made an original fan adventure on the forums
>liked it enough that I'm reworking it into a webcomic right now

Guess there are worse things to get out of being in a cringy Fandom

Used to go to the Scott pilgrim forums too, still have a lot of friends from there, including a dude thst worked on volume 6.

I loved the early stuff, up until like Act 5. That and I loved Problem Sleuth. If the fanbase hadn't become so cancerous (and I get it's basically Act 4 beyond that's cancer), I wouldn't have any problem reading the last few years worth of stuff I skipped.

not Sup Forums, but corpse party.

The fandom's dead.

The homestuck Fandom just turned into the steven universe Fandom in the se way that the Hetalia Fandom had turned into the homestuck fandom.

You know it to be true.

Harry Potter is the only one I can think of.

I get into fandoms these days because they are shit or crazy because they remind me of the fun I had in the Homestuck fandom when it was alive

Wow, you must be me.

I still argue that that show was good up until the creator stepped down halfway season 3. Then it was money-grabbig bullshit.

Dude, Undertale is like 8 months old...

Fastest fandom rise and fall I've witnessed.

>All these people who were into Homestuck

I can't believe how into that I was for three years. I took a bunch of photos of cosplayers at a convention, I thought about buying Con-Air.

>yfw you owned Con-air before Homestuck

Get off my lawn, ya damn kids.

holy shit the cloning machine is out of control

Arrow

Early Gumball.
Jesus Christ, I don't even know how I survived the /ss/ and waifu shitposting.

>money-grabbing
Holy shit, are you five?

Honestly none of them!

Oh wait....no I remember now.
Hampster Dance. :/

Pretty much my situation too. What a shame.

It was always a vehicle to sell pieces of plastic to children, it just takes some people longer to realize it.

hey at least there's a good reaction image in that

I realize how ridiculous that sounded in that context, but the amount of fan-service since season 3 compared to the beginning of the show is exponentially larger and at some point there was no more stories to tell.

I agree, I agree. It was a dumb show from the beginning.

None, really. I feel a bit lucky. I got burned by fandom shit when I was an early teen, and since then every one has seemed like the same bullshit.

Thing is at least partially good, hordes of people descend upon it, make the most ear-grating exaltations of their love for it with fucking forhorns blaring, turn off anyone who isn't immediately into it, and then the content stops appearing and then slowly devolve even further into a disgusting crowd, regurgitating memes and pornography that get more and more divorced from both reality and from the original media they were obsessed with. Then, a new thing comes along and 80% of the fuckers crawl over to that and the cycle begins a new, leaving the 20% a small, sad encampment of empty, soulless shells to continue in obscurity.

Avatar, Homestuck, Steven Universe, Undertale, JJBA, MLP, it's all the same bullshit.

>Fan service is out of control

Undertale I'm afraid
I mean there was some good OC in the beginning but now it's just fallen apart into sheer cancer
I still think it's a great game but the fanbase is trash

>horse
>undertale
I honestly thought undertale would be a game that would be forgotten in a week or two
I shouldn't made that much fanart those first couple of days
Is 7/10 game imo

>Peterfags

Nothing Sup Forums-related, thankfully.

Agreed.

I've been in the Undertale fandom since the game came out and what really got me as how suddenly it became trash. It wasn't a gradual process of anything like Homestuck or MLP.

Like it was great for a month or two, but then it went into a downhill spiral or quality that other fanbases can only dream of.

But I'll never truly leave it as long as it keeps producing good Toriel porn

Transformers. I've never been into the comics so I've avoided that hornets nest but even the toy side of things has been getting increasingly worse over the years and I spend far less time on /toy/ than I used to.

I dropped out halfway through season four because of the drop in quality, never once interacted with the fans though.

Anyone notice Voltron is going through the symptoms in fast forward?

I haven't played a single one of the games to this day. But I loved the shit out of this show. I got out around the time I moved on to anime. I looked back years later and holy hell, what a bullet I dodged.

Sonic 2 and 3&K are really good
Generally the only insufferable part about classic fans is that they're impossible to please.

FNAF
Yeah I know, it was a shit horror game, but it was one of the first mystery stories in a video game that I got into. I left that shithole after the 4th installment when the asshole wouldn't give the answer.

Horse show
Homestuck
Doctor Who

High school was rough.

I like the new Voltron a lot, but everyone I've seen in the fandom just immediately jumped into porn and nothing else.

Zootopia

Marvel

I only watch the MCU stuff with my friends out of obligation to them, but I'm genuinely saddened by how utterly mediocre-to-awful everything has been since Bendis got elevated to an A-list writer. It's like Marvel have actively been trying to sabotage their fanbase since House of M, and it's been a slippery slope since then. Not even the occasional bright spot like King's Vision or Ewing can save that company right now.
Don't even get me started on their cartoons, why they decided to pull the plug on EMH and SSM and give us their current slate if garbage baffles me.
At least DC still put out largely good comics.

I actually loved the early Gumball following on Sup Forums. The threads were autism in its purest form but it was fun. Haven't watched Gumball since 2014, though.

I was the opposite. I liked the games, but thought the comics/series/anime were shit.

TLA/KoR

Alternatively, SU. I love SU, but watching tumblr dismember that show like a pack of zombies really makes it hard to watch now.


Speaking of zombies, I know it's not technically what you're talking about, but I used to be huge into old zombie films, now I can't stand watching a zombie film because of TWD.

not Sup Forums but Minecraft

Not a day I regret ever leaving it

Adventure Time. it pains me to watch anything past season 4. I had a tumblr and everything

Sonic the Hedgehog.
I was actually embarrassed when I first got into the fandom (I mean I liked some of the games and the cartoon, but once I delved into the internet for it that's when the embarrassment happened.) I honestly said to myself "It's probably just a phase." but no I read fanfic and fancomics, I liked the fanart, I looked up info on the games I didn't play even if the stories were dumb or the game was bad; and I still sort of like it.

I miss stickypad.

sonic

i don't know what the hell was wrong with me i even edited pics on paint and i had OCs

it's extra weird because all the things i like now are the complete opposite of sonic, i also never watched steven universe because for some reason it reminds me of sonic

also minecraft i guess but i only played until beta 1.8.1

Early Gravity Falls when I thought season one was just foreshadowing a depth of mysteries that would be explored in season 2.

I miss a lot of the old Gumball drawfags. The only ones that seem to still be alive are Sunibee and sometimes Shamelesss draws Gumball stuff.

Why did stickypad disappear anyway? I heard it was because of Gamergate drama but I don't remember.

I'm not sure if the fandom has fallen since it was a self contained thing, it wasn't an ongoing series like a comic or show. I think they're just less vocal now. Just bought an Undertale themed album the other day.

>Real Talk
At the time I cared about homestuck most my friends that were into hetalia jump ship into homestuck. I didn't want to deal homestuck ever since and jump ship to SU b4 they did and it happening again...

Did we all dodge the furry bullet?

He was very pro-Gamergate and people harassed him on his blog because of that. He eventually had a meltdown, deleted his blog and fell off the face of the earth

SU is still failry new but lord do i hate the fanbase
all their gemsonas and shitty MVs suck
and especially all the porn
and all the "OMg!!!! THIS IS THE BEST SHIP AND THESE CHAARaCTERS ArE TRAns AND THis ONE IS GAYYY!!! HEADCANNoNNNN!!"

The JJBA growth was crazy to me when they started the anime.

kinda, i like girls with cat ears

it is technically not furry according to a pic i've seen posted a few times

Sonic
>Played most of the games.
>Watched the shows.
Made 5 ocs.
I stay away from the turbocancer and focus on the games,hype for sonic mainia.

I swear /sug/ does that sometimes
And God I don't even want to know what the fuck is going on Tumblr

Yeah I think I survived the plague of becoming a furry.

>Steven universe
mainly because I watched ONE episode on youtube and now i am constantly getting stupid theory stuff and stuff getting spoiled for me because of images, its still one of my favorite shows but jesus I thought people where JOKING when they talked about how crazy the fandom was.

But if we aren't doing just Sup Forums stuff..

>Percy fucking Jackson.

I used to write TERRIBLE fanfiction for that back when I was the fandom when I was like 11, mainly where me and this other friend I had back then (who is now a otherkin asexual who identifies as a Pidgeon, I am not joking. Glad I stopped talking to her.) fought over the edgelord badass of the series Nico and I made brony bashing jokes while have never watched the show. I was THAT asshole.

I'm pretty sure my fanfiction should still be up, if anyone wants to read it I'll link it.


.

same. fucking bronyism is a cancer on my conscience. I just tell people i have mild autism and i'm doing the best i can

I've been feeling pretty lame recently when I watch Steven Universe. As if the show gets kiddy-er with each episode.

>used to be a brony early on
>the later the show goes on I start to hate the characters and the stories
>drift off and never touch it ever again or identify as it again

phew

I grew up with classic Sonic games.

I hate what the franchise is now and the fandom concerns me, but I can't bring myself to hate the little blue bastard.

Yugioh is the only one I look back on with true regret, both the fandom and show offend me while most things I'm only ashamed of the fans.

Oh man Yu-Gi-Oh and Magic where super fun to play back in middle school. I do agree the fandom was trash but thats what happens when your core demographic is kids. One of my closest friends I met through playing Yu-Gi-Oh at a Tournament.

I had to bury him two weeks ago.

Pic related, he always had a soft spot for Bakura, was gonna cosplay him for a con later on this month.

Things you saw but never got into
>Homestuck
Huh,Seems ok, Sunglass DJ Guy Looks Baller,Trolls are a thing I guess.
>Rainbow Horse Show
Catchy Songs,Nice Colors,I ain't opening that can of autistic worms so I passed.
>Gundam
Fuckin sick space opera with giant robots! I'm gonna dive in later. And I never did.

Same. Sonic will always be to me what he was in my head when I was 9.

>Your Big Horse: Relationships Are Alchemic

The fandom I get but bruh the manga was dope as fuck, niggas got fucking ruined kaiji style with none of that sent to the shadow realm shit.

And how can you hear this and not get hype as fuck

youtu.be/IVmtUK_1jh4

This, I tried out the fandom before it went full nuclear and one day they started talking about futa gems and it went all downhill from there. I think I drew this just to spite Misha.

unfamiliar with homestuck but ConAir was great, along with The Rock w/Sean Connery

I was really into ponies for awhile. I avidly browsed /mlp/ from its inception all the way until the Scruffening in 2013. After the board was ruined, I stopped browsing /mlp/ and subsequently stopped watching the show altogether.

I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss it a little, as shitty as it was. The board was mostly Sup Forumstards and the ponyfags who were exiled from Sup Forums so there was a lot of drama and shitposting threads that were dumb but fun.

There were also the tripfags who everybody hated like Thomas Westley and RainboomCrash. Fucking RainboomCrash.

Don't forget the shipping, parts of the fandom are literally going through giant Gay Zutara vs Gay Kataang wars right now except with even less justification for either pairing. And the Gay Zutarans are having a civil war of their own due to being the side that attracts more SJWs.

Same here. That said, I can't say I didn't enjoy that 25th anniversary party despite Sega fucking up the streaming.

>mfw Sonic Mania's announcement

Colorful Horses

I watched the first episode of mlp love on tv on my own to see what it would be like. The next day I went to class and told my best friend to watch it. We both watched every episode, every week till the show went to shit mid season 2. Honestly though, the 1st season is damn good if you forget about the fandom.

This I'm ashamed of but it's too late to change anything, so I'll keep doing it.
I have watched the show The Mighty Boosh every single night for the last 6 or so years. Usually I get through about 3 episodes a night then fall asleep. The sad thing is, there are only 20 episodes in the whole series. I did the math s a long time ago, turns out I've seen every episode over 300 times.

Yeah but i do like anime cat girls and i dont think that count as furry

Sonic. Used to draw terrible gay tailsxanything porn. Moved on to smol horses and never looked back.

Sadly I got into horses when I was already 21 and pretty much dead-set in being a degenerate, so I'm with it for life now. It's so funny seeing people move on from ponies to become a multicolored skunk furry or whatever. I can't imagine being into it in high school...christ.

>anime
Oh but i am still part of it. But i never was those people who go like naruto or try to do kamehamehas. I hide my powerlevel for reason since high school and i stopped going to cons long time ago.

beat you to it,

All the ones I've ever been in, particularly the technicolor horses. Had a new guy come into work, like a guy that could literally say "m'lady" at any second and he had to comment on the colorful horses available at the gift shop.

My supervisor was uncomfortable and gave an awkward laugh, and I cringed. Holy shit I wish I never was as cringe-worthy as he is.

Tamers Master Race.

But yeah, this. I just can't get into the new OVAs and the fans annoy the shit outta me.

Not really. It's just popular, and due to being popular draws in your usual crowd of assholes pulling shit for the attention
>inb4 that one girl got bullied on tumblr
that's nothing compared with the shit that's been going down in the Star Wars fandom ever since TFA came out. It's not the fandom itself, it's a certain class of assholes who gravitate towards whatever is popular at the time.

Adventure Time
What a mistake. I used to love it for being swords and sorcery in a weird cartoonish setting but then it turned sour and ruined everything for me.

Every other fandom i've been in I still like to this day, no regrets anywhere else, though they're mostly not Sup Forums and don't get embarrassing with age.
