This meme was an idea I actually planned on doing some time ago, but I didn't think I had enough choices to really have a good meme. But something in me just snapped and I felt I should do this meme to-day!

Before we start, I should inform you that just because a franchise is on here doesn't mean I dislike it. Heck, a lot of these franchises I love, but the fanbases I do have a problem with in some way (usually either too much hype or fighting within the fandom).

10. Avatar: The Legend of Korra
Now, this show I can't say I'm that into as I loved the original series a lot more and Korra had a few too many problems and differences with a rushed pace to boot (granted, it was originally supposed to be a mini-series...). However, there is a LOT of complaining, mainly shipping wars and character bashing. I don't think the original Avatar series had this problem as much despite having an arguably bigger fanbase (besides probably the shipping wars, but I think the Kataang vs. Zutara debate isn't nearly as crazy as Makorra vs. Borra).

9. The Total Drama series.
...Oh, boy. Gosh darn it TD, what in the world went wrong? The fandom seemed close to perfect when the show first came out, but season two and onward, it's really gotten into anarchy. Shipping wars, character bashing, many other fights going on. TDA put in the sparks to the conflict, TDWT ignited it, TDRotI gave us a bit of a break from the current problems, but with TDAS it just made the problems more bigger than they already were. We already have a love triangle shipping war that tore the fandom in half, characters getting derailed and flanderized, and now we have a new controversy about Mike being offensive towards people with mental disorders. Just...gah, at this rate, the show should probably end just so we can move on to something else. I feel bad saying this about a show I used to really love since I was eleven, but with the fanbase combined with the downhill quality of TD's writing, this has to be said...

8. Adventure Time.
While TD probably should be ranked a bit higher on the list, I do feel that the fanbase isn't that rampant and the problems don't get much attention outside of it. Now I used to kinda like AT when it first came out but then about a month later I pretty much lost interest. Now it's like all popular now and I can't get into it for some reason. The art style and a couple characters annoy me somehow (though this is nitpicky), I feel like it's being shoved down my throat all the time by fans and the Cartoon Network, and the rabid fans tend to be really obnoxious when they treat AT like it's sliced bread. The gender bend stuff is really rampant too, but I do find myself liking Fionna more than Finn himself. Okay, I'll admit I do fave some fanart (plus the Marceline/Princess Bubblegum pairing is interesting) but it's really not my cup of tea.

7. Hetalia Axis Powers.
Y'know it's really, really hard to come across something relating to countries without the mentioning of Hetalia popping up. I'm sorry, but it's so rampant that I can't get myself to like it. I'm sorry, I just can't. Plus there's waaay too much yaoi pairings, it almost makes Hetalia seem like it's all about romance and porn as opposed to it being a silly comedy about humanized countries. That's not what every show is about.

6. The Big Four crossover (AKA Rise of the Brave Tangled Dragons).
WHY is this so darn popular? Why should a crossover have this much of a following? I'm so sick of it getting so much attention and praise. I hate the ships (besides Mericcup, I kinda like that one), the fact almost every other character from the four franchises besides the mains are ignored or villainized, the many AUs, and how mean a lot of the fans can be if someone doesn't like it. It's been done to death and isn't fun or interesting anymore. Look, I'm all for crossovers, but there are more better ideas we can come up with for crossovers that can be explored. I'm fine for crossovers having a fandom, just...not this huge. I've heard that it's probably the Big Six now as Anna and Elsa have been included in. Are you gonna this with just about every other popular CGI film that comes out? Add one or two of the main characters into the group of teens/young adults who go on a self-learning adventure? And I thought the Jim/Ariel crossover was rampant, the Big Four makes that crossover almost nonexistant...

5. Pokemon.
Oh, Pokemon. I've loved it for as long as I can remember, still love it, and will likely continue to love it in the future...but man can the fandom be awful sometimes. There's people who complain about everything whether anything's changed or not (in short, some people complain about everything), shipping wars about who Ash should be with, and bashing characters in the anime too (often because of shipping reason). Please stop, Pokemon's a great franchise, I love a lot about it and I don't want the bad apples of the fandom to ruin the fun.

4. My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.
I'm more of a casual fan of the show to be honest, though I can see why people don't like it. But the fandom is huuuge, MLP is involved with just about anything you could think of. There's the insane fans who shove the show down people's throats, some shipping wars, the creepypastas (I hate them personally), some rather invalid character bashing is in there, and of course, fans who complain about everything. Complaining about Twilight becoming an alicorn, Derpy's censorship, Equestria Girls, people treating potential flaws to the point where they become overblown and exaggerated. Ironic since humanizing ponies and making the Mane 6 look like alicorns were popular in the fandom until the show itself did it.

3. Naruto.
I think going through the fanfiction and fanart of this show would each take YEARS. And with every huge fandom, there's going to be problems. LOTS of unnecessary shipping wars in a show where romance is almost never involved, tons of character bashing (especially with poor Sakura...I feel bad for her getting all this flak. I never found her that bad.), and crazy fans shoving it in people's faces. While I think Naruto's fame has died down a bit, it's still a really big fandom that could use a little restraint. It's an okay series, but I wouldn't call it a masterpiece.

2. Sonic the Hedgehog.
No variation of this meme would be complete without the Sonic franchise popping up somewhere. This might be the ultimate flawed fandom fitting every criteria. The insane fans literally do complain about everything, the comics, the games, the anime and cartoon adaptations, the characters, the ships, the recolors, the outfit/design changes, every single thing is going to get a lot of backlash. I like the Sonic series quite a bit, but the hype really needs to calm down.

1. Twilight.
What makes this number one exactly are you asking? Well, Twilight I think is a franchise that deserves nothing. It doesn't deserve it's fans, it's an insult to our human intelligence and morals with terrible bland characters and a horribly toxic, unrealistic relationship that deserves no hype or popularity! How can I like it and actually take this garbage seriously? I know I should respect one's opinion, but I seriously don't get Twilight whatsoever. Who the heck can like this?!
