{{examples|Examples here should be from in media.}}
== Anime and Manga ==
* ''[[Love Lucky]]'' has an in-universe example with Erika, the female lead singer of the rock band "M.I.T.", who is a self-professed hater of "normal people". This apparently arose from the way she was treated by the band's fans after she replaced the previous lead.
Line 79 ⟶ 78:
* Rock fans vs. disco fans in ''[[Detroit Rock City]]''.
** This one is based in reality. During the late 1970s there was a very real rivalry between rock fans and disco fans. The rivalry came to a head on July 12, 1979 (sometimes referred to as "the night disco died") during a baseball promotion called [[wikipedia:Disco Demolition Night|Disco Demolition Night]], which resulted in thousands of rock fans storming the field at Chicago's Comiskey Park to express their hatred of disco. The event made news worldwide and less than a year later disco was effectively dead in the United States and Canada (although it would remain popular in Europe for another few years). See also: [[Deader Than Disco]]
* Even ''[[Roger Ebert]]'' did this once, [https://web.archive.org/web/20130207230653/http://blogs.suntimes.com/ebert/2009/07/i_am_a_brainiac.html saying]: "''Those who think "Transformers" (Revenge of the Fallen) is a great or even a good film are, may I tactfully suggest, not sufficiently evolved. Film by film, I hope they climb a personal ladder into the realm of better films, until their standards improve. Those people contain multitudes. They deserve films that refresh the parts others do not reach. They don't need to spend a lifetime with the water only up to their toes."''
== [[Literature]] ==
Line 102 ⟶ 101:
== [[Web Comics]] ==
* The bug of ''[[Bug Martini
* As part of it's increasing meta-ness, Act 6 of ''[[Homestuck]]'' introduces {{spoiler|undyingUmbrage}}, who is basically a personification of the comic's fan haters. This includes the people who complain about their friends talking about ''Homestuck'' and trying to get them interested in it.
== [[Web Original]] ==
* See this article from ''[[The Onion]]'': [https://web.archive.org/web/20100314220422/http://www.theonion.com/content/news_briefs/man_who_enjoys_thing "Man Who Enjoys Thing Informed He Is Wrong"]
* [[The Spoony Experiment|The Spoony One]] made a series of videos talking about his hatred for ''[[Final Fantasy VIII]]'', ''[[Final Fantasy X]]'', and ''[[Final Fantasy X-2]]''. This has caused Noah Antwiler (who plays Spoony) to take some real backlash, with him having to point out that Spoony is a character and not everything "he" says is Noah's real opinion. He did have to backtrack on a few jokes, such as in the ''FFX'' review where [[Dude, Not Funny|he calls upon all sane people to murder fans of the game]].
** Then things got a little worse when Noah (not Spoony) disparaged Nintendo<ref>Saying they needs to shut the doors on all of their primary franchises, especially ''Zelda'', which he calls [[It's the Same, Now It Sucks|an unchanging series]]</ref> and ''[[Tron: Legacy]]''.<ref>Calling the movie crap and one of the worst films of 2010 and insulting anyone who liked it by saying they have low standards and are easily entertained</ref>
** He also said that if you like ''[[Final Fantasy XIII]]'', you are lying to yourself.
*** Same with ''[[Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series)|Battlestar Galactica]]''.
* [[Winger Dinger Productions|Random DCE]] was known for this, especially in his early years. While he softened up in recent years, he still thinks [liking anime is [[Even Nerds Have Standards|beneath him.]]
* [[Zero Punctuation|Yahtzee]] is prone to doing this and he doesn't just hate one kind of gamer - he's hated on people who like [[Eastern RPG]]s, Western [[RPG]]s, Silent Hill fans (even he admits to doing so himself - he said his ''[[Silent Hill Origins]]'' review was mostly him crying) people who like ''[[Halo]]'', people who played ''[[Psychonauts]]'', people who didn't play ''[[Psychonauts]]'', console gamers, PC gamers, fans of point and click adventure games, people who own a Wii, fans of [[Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game|MMORPG]]s, Korean gamers, fans of sprite comics, fans of ''[[Control Alt Delete]]'', fans of ''[[The Sims]]'', Retro gamers, Indie gamers, people who hate retro, people who hate indies, [[Joss Whedon]], anyone who likes Joss Whedon, etc. In general, it's safe to assume that Yahtzee hates ''everyone'', and the sensitive souls who take it to heart aren't in for a good time. Unfortunately, people on [[The Escapist]] [[Misaimed Fandom|have somehow taken this mindset seriously]] and adopted it, and will sadly probably never ever enjoy a video game again.
** The biggest example is his ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' review. At least 60% of the review itself was saying "I do not like fighting games so I will [[Don't Like, Don't Read|not show any interest in it]]" or hating on fans, then the following up video was fan hatred.
* [[The Distressed Watcher]] made nine videos complaining about the ''[[Star Wars]]'' prequels; he often called the fans stupid.
Line 124 ⟶ 123:
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* In ''[[Beavis and Butthead]]'', they were watching a [[Bon Jovi]] video. Beavis didn't think it was that bad, and Butthead kept smacking him for not thinking it sucked. Finally Beavis got fed up and [[Groin Attack|kicked Butthead in the nuts]].
* In an episode of ''[[South Park]]'', the boys play ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' and stumble across another group of boys playing ''[[Harry Potter]]''. Cartman scoffs, "[[Hypocritical Humor|Fags!]]"
