Which characters do you like but couldn't stand their fanbase?

Rosalina, Lucina, Shadow, Charizard, and Cirno for me.
 
Luigi. He doesn't necessarily have a bad fan-base but I think he's been getting a little too much praise in the past decade or so.
 
I guess Rosalina's fanbase is kinda bad, but I do like her character.

Death to Luigi.

I also like him but I think his fanbase can be pretty obnoxious sometimes.
 
Sonic and Charizard.

Thankfully, Sonic isn't extremely popular in Japan. THAT'S WHY HE WASN'T IN PROJECT X ZONE EVERYONE. STOP COMPLAINING.

Oh, and about a third of Hatsune Miku's male fanbase.

I do like Lucina, but the part of her fanbase that legitimitely want to marry her in real life creeps me out.

Not to mention, Lucina is a great example of a positive female role model, so it's depressing that a lot of people in her fanbase are obsessively creepy with her.
 
-Mr. L. He was cool in SPM but he kind of needs to stay there. Like calm down guys.

-Since someone else said it, Rosalina. She's nice enough but please.
 
I think "hate" is kind of a strong word and you should not hate anyone for what they like but I understand that some fans go overboard with some things.

I'm not sure the question is asked the right way... because if you like a character, you are technically a "fan" of that character. So, if you hate the fans of that character...then you hate yourself. ;D

Since Rosalina is talked about....here is an example taken to the extreme. The world's famous Rosalina fan hater :

He never really did that. He just said he would do that to scare everyone because he's a little bitch.

I think there's a nuance between "liking" and being a fan, kind of like the difference of being pious and being a zealot.

I don't know if likening "fan" to "zealot" is that accurate either. There's reasonable fans, but not so much reasonable zealots.

With the religious context, I guess you could say liking is to being a fan what respecting a religion is to actively following it. The zealots would then be juxtaposed with the obsessed lunatics that fly into a rage whenever someone disrespects their waifu/husbando.

I wasn't intending a direct analogy. I was trying to use a spectrum kind of like this:

neutral:like love:eek:bsession


Where you substitute the first two with "liking:being a fan" and the latter two between "pious:zealout" to illustrate that there is a step between liking and being a fan, just as how there is a step between being considered a a mere religious follower or a zealot. Sorry if I didn't make it clear before.
 
Some mega Rosalina fans of soured me on her, and then that guy that bought all the Amiibos soured me on Rosalina-haters. So basically, no one wins.
