Line 79:
* 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).

* 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."''

* The bug of ''[[Bug Martini|Bug]]'' has a [[How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (novel)|Grinch]] persona [https://web.archive.org/web/20130514055751/http://www.bugcomic.com/comics/for-the-haters/ that is a fan hater].
* 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>
