Be warned some may pretend to be fan haters, but are in fact [[Troll|Trolls]], which some find to be worse, depending on who you are.

* 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 [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Disco_Demolition_Night: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, [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."''

* The lyrics to Sloan's "Coax Me" include the line, "it's not the band I hate: it's their fans".
* In [[Weird Al Yankovic]]'s "Close But No Cigar", about a guy who [[Minor Flaw, Major Breakup|breaks up with women over minor flaws]], he breaks up with the second woman because she likes ''[[Joe Dirt]]''.

Line 115:
* [[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 (Web Animation)|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|Eastern RPGs]], Western [[RPG|RPGs]], Silent Hill fans (even he admits to doing so himself - he said his ''[[Silent Hill Origins (Video Game)|Silent Hill Origins]]'' review was mostly him crying) people who like ''[[Halo]]'', people who played ''[[Psychonauts (Video Game)|Psychonauts]]'', people who didn't play ''[[Psychonauts (Video Game)|Psychonauts]]'', console gamers, PC gamers, fans of point and click adventure games, people who own a Wii, fans of [[MMORPG|MMORPGs]], 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 (Video Game)|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.
** He also proclaimed that anyone who enjoyed ''[[Transformers Revenge of the Fallen]]'', even as a [[Guilty Pleasure]], should be hauled into a concentration camp and killed.
