** "Props" had the aesop of "If someone hogs all attention and praise all the time from you, it's Ok, because it's meant to be like that!"

* [[Fandom Heresy]]: Let's just say that there aren't many places in the ''[[Glee]]'' fandom where it's safe to admit that you don't much like Lea Michele's singing voice, and leave it at that. [[Chris Colfer]] and [[Darren Criss]] (if not [[Base Breaker|their characters]]) also tend to be sacred cows. Especially Darren's.

* [[Fan Dumb]]: While it may seem like a theater/band geek/ misfit paradise, the forum shows us that a vast majority of fans take the show more seriously than most school work, or in some cases, actual work. Flame wars get started over comments about a character's clothing, a throwaway comment that was played for laughs, song choice, and even seating positions. Numerous thread topics revolve around arguing about [[Darren Criss]] being a good actor or not, more topics have become pissing contests on who knows more about Broadway, and there is even a thread claiming The Beatles "aren't that good" and ''Glee'' made their songs better. It's not a wonder that the fans are often more hated than the show itself.

** Kurt's fan base may or may not be the biggest, but it's certainly the most...let's just say "dedicated" and leave it at that.

** There's also the Kurt fandom's [[Distaff Counterpart]], the [[Yuri Fan|Brittana fangirls]]. During the second season, they became known on fan sites as [[Windmill Crusader]]s for constantly complaining about being oppressed by some hidden mass of Bartie fans - when, in fact, Brittana has always been the [[Fan-Preferred Couple]] and it was fan pressure that encouraged the creators to bring ''them'' together. There are also the Faberry shippers who, while mostly a not-so-serious bunch, can produce some really scary types who try to argue that Quinn/Rachel should count as a ''canon'' couple...
