Which character's fans are the rudest?

[tib2d2]

I get it, favorite characters can be more loved than immediate family members sometimes.

But I have run into some over zealous rabid rude fans on message boards. Which character's fans to you find the rudest/abrasive/pretentious etc?

[kjn]

My fandom is passionate
Your fandom is enthusiastic
Their fandom is strident

(Full list)

Depends on when and where you look.

I had someone rip me to shreds once for not liking Hal Jordan.

[The Darknight Detective]

I guess rudeness depends upon the eye of the beholder, but I have no doubt the loudest fans are the ones whose favorite character is not in the spotlight.

Prolly the character with the oldest male base.

Well it is Hal Jordan, you obviously deserved it. (Sorry, cheap joke)

To answer the questions, as the saying goes, "Assholes, not an endangered species." I'm sure while we try to nice and polite, there are times we ourselves are the jerks while other times someone else is the jerk.

All characters have them and times where we are them. But for me I tend to but heads with Jason Todd fans a lot.

[The Darknight Detective]

Rudeness has to be differentiated between face-to-face interactions and on the Internet. The former is tougher, but the latter is easy (also more cowardly) to do.

Did you talk about the movie?

I don't know, you can find jerks in all fandom. Jean Grey fans are a special breed though.

Archie fans can be generously be described as being absolutely Satanic is their devotion to the red headed malcontent. Cathy fans are equally fanatical but less overweight.
