Wrestling fans.
I've seldom seen any group showcase as much infighting as we do.

Eh - let's be real here: PRO SPORTS FANS.
Often loud, drunken, openly/blindly biased spectators who believe that THEY are part of the team in some respect and on occasion, will basically destroy their own town if their team loses...or wins. They'll also fight people who support an opposing team.
That's not even getting into the ridiculous internet stuff.

comic fans. so many of them have a coniption whenever something messes with the status quo and actually has the gall to advance the characters (see Grant Morrison's entire run on X-men). even worse, some of these mouthbreathers are given prominent jobs at comic companies and blow up continuity just so things can stay in some kind of bubble (see: Barry Allen's needless return, One More Day). it's really childish, and creates the image of an industry run by a bunch of guys who look/act like comic book guy throwing tantrums when something didn't go their way. I'd qualify that to "superhero comic fans," but yeah.

people that claim they like something yet take every opportunity to bash it and its fans.
(I'm looking at certain people on Twitter who used to be really hardcore into MLP, and I bonded with them, but lately it's been nothing but falling out because I'm still hardcore into MLP and they do nothing but talk crap about it and its fans. And no, the majority of bronies are NOT spoiled manchildren.)

Also, which network can I find these ponies? Is it based on Japanese animation? Western Flash animation that's really well done. I thought it was hand-drawn for awhile because it didn't have a lot of the real obvious telltale signs of Flash animation. It airs on The Hub, which used to be Discovery Kids. The Hub also shows a lot of older shows from the 90's, too like Batman TAS and Animaniacs.

Went to a game against Bronco's and on our way in a bunch of drunk idiots were pushing a guy with a Tebow jersey around. made me feel ashamed Someone pointed out about Yankee fans saying the season is a failure if the don't win the WS. well Pats fans are starting to become that and I hate it.

During the recently Melbourne soccer derby between Victory and Heart over 170 chairs were broken and flares set off. In Australia the media are very much against Soccer because they don't view it as a traditional (i.e. non ethnic) sport so this only gave them ammo as despitre touting ourselves as a multicultural country we're actually kind of racist. I hate how Heart (my team) and Victory fans are towards each other. It goes way overboard sometimes.

That's right. And I didn't just stumble across a NC video, watch and get offended. I've been watching his stuff for years and that joke was the first time I felt he went too far. He's made insinuations towards that stuff before but not quite as graphic as he did in the last video but apparently I should lighten up cause it's a joke like that's some sort of magic blanket excuse. No you didn't and the people who believe that we deserve stuff like this for voicing our opinions are the reason why oppression exists a lot of the time. Yeah we should shut up and not show distaste to anything that we don't like because god forbid we do. Ok I'm not going to defend those idiots for what they said, but I respect that they were coming to the defense of someone that wrote a joke so I completely agree with their motives.

I always felt pro wrestling has the worst fanbase. I mean it doesn't matter who they push or what the companies do, there is always going to be a group that will find something to compalin about.

Well, that's where you and I are different. I don't respect these kids (most of them were in thier mid to late teens) acting like butthurt little brats because someone expressed an opinion they didn't like and behaving they way they did which no doubt they did only because they were hiding behind a computer. In my opinion the joke went too far (shock humour is the lowst form of comedy) and I have every right to express that opinion just as they have the right to disagree but they went too far and IMHO missed the point entirely and acted like pissy little fanboys. But I guess they've got your respect and I got what I deserved huh?

Most bronies are annoying. I haven't watched an episode of the new series because the fans have put me off.
Also, CM Punk seems to attract the worst fans wrestling has to offer. Not every Punk fan, hey... I'm a Punk fan, but there's the ones who make every excuse possible for his douche behaviour, get overly upset when he loses and react badly whenever anyone criticises him.

I never said I respected them, as a matter fact I despise internet trolls and you're totally in the right for being pissed at what they said to you. What I do respect is where they were coming from and that is defending a joke. This is getting a little off topic so sorry for derailing the thread.

All of them.
If something's popular enough to have fans, it's popular enough to have asshole fans.
They're all bad, but they tend to be bad in different ways.
Usually, it's the ones the make the most noise in the corners one passes through that come off the worst, though. In the case of the ones I see most, that'd be Bronies, CM Punk fans, and Philadelphia Flyers fans.
Historically, Sonic fans would be right up there too, but I don't really see them anywhere anymore.

ROHbots. Nowadays, they are calmer but between 2006 and 2010, GOOD LORD was it difficult to talk any wrestling with them. I remember a few years ago a few people got into an argument with an ROH fan because he said CZW, PWG, and CHIKARA were copying ROH by booking certain people when those companies booked said guys first, but he'd have none of it.
Spoony's fans were pretty bad to the point he had to tell them to shut up about complaining how he didn't have a big enough part in one of the Anniversary Shows (I think Suburban Knights, but it may have been Kickassia) but Spoony was a huge part of both specials.
And while it's not a huge group, I find parts of Boston sport fans intolerable the last decade. They became so used to having the underdog teams they still try to play up that moniker when each of their sports teams has won a championship in the last decade, and in some cases multiple.
And as a Miami Dolphin fan, I've got 2 others.
1.New York Jets fans as they act like Rex Ryan 2.Hurricane fans. I am not from Miami, but I hate the Fin fans from Miami talking about how we need to bring people from Da U in for swag

HEY.....ya you are completely right. Can't even defend some of the idiots.
