>dead
do I have news for you!

No one was happier to hear this news than Hop Topic.

>Zim fandom the worst
>in a world where Homestuck existed

Other than gir fanatics, the invader zim fanbase is not that cancerous.

and the fujoshits
don't forget about those

>anything other than the horse program

There's a reason why Vasquez mocked his fans for years after the show ended.

Because nobody but mallgoths like mallgoths, that's really the only issue but it's a big issue

>MLP fandom
>Dead
It's certainly deadER since it's not meme of the week anymore, but the hardcore fans are still going considering the show is airing a new season as we speak and has a movie coming out in theaters this October, it's not dead yet

*wwalks into thread*
*spits into bucket*

Hot topic

Yeah, in highschool if most invader Zim fans were just Goth. At least they didn't walk around with those Naruto headbands.

Gotta love Jhonen, the edgy goth so smug he built a career on making fun of edgy goths

The irony of all this, is that's a similar description of Johnny who I'm still not convinced isn't some form of self insert for him

There is no such thing as a fandom that can be judged as "the worst"

For that to be logically possible, there would have to be a "best" fanbase to compare it to.

And I know for certain that doesn't exist.

>tfw you ran around in highschool with a naruto headband
I'm now married with two kids and a house but every single time I am reminded of highschool I thank god that no pictures remain. I would have fit into a cringe thread perfectly

Homestuck should get a special mention.

The lolsorandom GIR fandom is cancer incarnate. I almost feel like the GIR fan base has to be separate from the Invader Zim fandom. I've seen people who don't know who ZIM is but have 3+ GIR accessories and shirts

And the Gaz fanatics.

Ah yes hop topic, the "edgy" store for rabbits

boy do I know THAT feeling.

>dead

funny op

...rabbits?

...

...

My Little Pony is the worst dead fandom

rick and morty fans
we're intelligent, nihilistic, and have a wicked sense of humor

Anyway it's true that fujoshits took over the fandom but at least I never heard anything about Zim shipping in real life while people do quote GIR constantly in real life, and now sometimes it's kids who think he's just a Hot Topic mascot and sometimes don't even know GIR was originally from a show.

...

Freshman and sophmore years of highschool I was one of those Invader Zim/Jhonen Vasquez fans who you wanted to beat the shit out of. I had a deviantart with my own Irkan self insert character... I had purple spikey hair, bought a trenchcoat and carried around stupid shit like squeaky toys in my bag.... Also if anyone commented on my "quirks" I would elude that I was actually an alien in disguise, collecting information of humanity to make a case that this planet would better serve the galactic Irkan empire as a parking lot. I will never live down this shame. So yeah... worst fanbase.

>So yeah... worst fanbase.

>only fandom that ever got me laid
>worst

NOPE

Never read Homestuck so can someone explain this shit? Why the fuck are they all spitting into bucket?

blah blah blah aliens are weird and reproduce in a way involving a bucket, blah blah blah the details are never elaborated
Something something almost every kid in that video commited suicide since no one would drop it

Dib and his dad were his inserts. In the Johnny comics there was no less than two or three explicit statements that other than goth boots he don't have any similarities with the creator.

>almost every kid in that video commited suicide since no one would drop it
don't play with my emotions like that

Welcome to the internet fuckboy

while i don't remember than many of them being that obnoxious (but that might be because i was 5), i'm going to nominate Tiny Toons as the worst fandom since one of them did get show cancelled.

>getting laid through invader zim, the edgy goth children's cartoon
Explain. Now.

Scene girls bruv

The only fandom I've ever hated here was the Avatar fandom. They just pissed me off so much. The lead up to Korra was the worst time on Sup Forums I can recall. Way more than Homestuck, MLP, or the previous Avatar.

I looked and dressed like Dib when I was 10 (15 years now? Wow.) years younger, edgier, and still had hair. And met lots of girls who were into ZADR.

>people call homestuck the worst fandom
>the only general to keep its shit in a single thread at a time before mlp or /vg/ ever exisited
I want revisionist to leave

Don't know about the whole internet, but i can say with certainty that, on Sup Forums, the Xavier: Renegade Angel/Homestar Runner fandoms are the best fandoms.

They randomly make their thread, sprout their quotes, reminisce tastefully, post a couple links, and leave. Threads are peaceful and comfy as fuck; virtually no bait to be seen. They never oversaturate the catalog, never interrupt other discussions, never screeching about politics, and quick to accommodate the ones out of the loop.

If you want something more active and recent, the /ctg/ threads, for as autistic as the concept is, share many of the same positives. They make their art, have their fun, and stick to their thread. probably because they technically aren't supposed to be here

Easily avatars.

>At least they didn't walk around with those Naruto headbands.

God, I remember those kids.

>Hop

Homestuck's fandom was so bad, I hated it even when I still liked Homestuck and thought it was a good comic.

I wanted to hit you repeatedly with a golf club while reading this. And I'm sure you want to do the same to early high school you.

Sounds like my first gf.

You just gave me nostalgia cringe.

What the fuck happened to your hair

Male pattern baldness :(

If it wasn't for that I'd still look like a teenager.

Remember InvaderCON?

>bald at 25
>tfw I know that feel

>girl on the left

Would smash

I got laid through the colourful horse show, Over the Garden Wall, and SymBionic Titan. There's really nothing special about it, I'm sure you've got a couple stories like that too.

You're forgetting Hellboy and Mouseguard

Really, the best indicator of a good fandom/comic is how little Sup Forums talks about it.

>InvaderCON
n-nani?

Come one, come all.

I still see those kids at anime conventions, hell a lot of them are hyper-skinny fuckers (even skinnier than me) in their early 20s.

I wish I could have been there :(

Storytime?

>cancelled forever

oh, is THAT why it's going to be on nickelodeon again?

...

So why did this pairing never become a thing?

Does that mean that girl genius is the best fandom of all?

Why is there fucking hearts everywhere

Because Gir belonged to his true lover, Hottopic.

Ready for school, Sup Forums?

>Because Gir belonged to his true lover, Hottopic.

OTP

Is it just a movie?

I don't really think that's enough to revive a fandom

Filthy lurve.

All of the ZADR fan art in this thread is brand new, a few days or weeks ago new.

There's been an ongoing comic series for almost two years, with Jhonen as the creative director. And yet the fandom has still remained dead. It's not too little, but it's definitely too late.

Fuck you guys for making me nostalgia. Gir merchandise was a 90% guarantee that a girl was down to give you a handjob, 480x640 nudes via MySpace messenger, or her socks if you're a disgusting footfag like me if you scoured Limewire to burn Hawthorne Heights songs on a CD for her.

Most of the girls there were fuckable but I wasn't able to do anything about it.

Fuck you guys. I'm 21 now and my window of opportunity is closing. Soon there won't be any Sup Forums chicks left for me to bang.

I haven't seen GIR merchandise since 2010. I need to go back. I actually had GIR-themed school supplies in the eighth grade.

Fine with me. We get to enjoy great new content without the fan cancer.

What? Nah dude, I'm 24 and still do Sup Forums shit. Your nerd significant other is probably in some sort of nursing program like every single other high school emo girl I knew.

If I want to find them, should I join a nursing program?

You can practically pinpoint the year that cancerous shipping fan art is drawn just by how it looks.

For example, try and guess the year this was drawn.

I'd say 2005.

2007

>mocking the fans that continue to support you and buy your shit and heap endless amounts of praise on you

I'm not the biggest fan of the fanbase either, but Jhonen was/is sort of a pretentious asshole like that who thinks he's above his fans even though he was the one who wrote this shit to begin with.

Not Sup Forums related but Dwarf Fortress comes to mind.

Sheesh, it was a joke. Everyone in the fandom laughed it off.

>MLP fandom
>Not dead

I wasn't really referring to the tweet so much as all the other times he's shat on his fans, but okay.

What other times?

Only if you want twice the hours, twice the work and half the respect of a doctor who knows about as much as you do.

Why do girls go into nursing, then?

I wouldn't recommend it. I'm only a scribe at the moment and I'm already tired of existing. It's busy for everyone and I'm the equivalent of a housekeeper when it comes to pecking order. It's nearly impossible to date outside of the field. It's like how servers and hostesses always end up dating one another.

If you're into goths and Filipinas, go for hospitals.

If you're into milfs and thicc black women, possibly bordering on obese, family doctor's offices.

Latinas, and even more goths, clinics.

Women who will marry you without knowing your last name: assisted living.

I don't know the difference between all of those positions, but it sounds like if I go for something medical, girls will be forced to date me due to lack of options elsewhere. I like the sound of that!

Fucking lol

I would say 2005

Fucked if I know, I'm not one of em.

I don't know why you cited me, but I would agree. Homestuck never really bothered me.

He doesn't see a fuckin' dime of the merch money from Zim stuff. That shit is all Nickelodeon's up 'til the comics and now this new movie. They own the characters. They have the artists to make asinine designs for shirts. They get the money. This is why he mocks it. Because it mocks them after they screwed him over.

Every single fandom has fujoshits though, just as every fandom will have porn and at least one autist.

Man I'm so glad I didn't have the internet as a kid and didn't participate in it. I absolutely loved the series though.

That was in 2013, after at least one failed attempt to revive the series and way before rumor of the new TV movie started swirling. Even if that movie had started being planned, Nick may have been forcing people to lie about this upcoming movie to keep it under wraps.

I thought this at first, but honestly that was mostly just the one guy getting it cancelled. That's like saying the Angry Beavers fans are bad just because of pic related.
