{{quote| '' "[[Twenty Four|24]] is the most ridiculous show in the world! I don't know how anybody can watch it. First of all, the stories are so unrealistic. And they have, like, a hundred plotlines going all at once. And half the time, the good guys are just as crooked as the villains. I can't deal with it, that's why I stick to a show where you can follow the story, that's realistic, and the bad guys and good guys are clear cut. Y'know, like ''[[Lost]]''." ''}}
 
{{quote| '''Note:''' You could switch the shows around and the above statement would ''still'' make no sense.}}
 
A loyal fanbase is the motherlode of any writer or producer of fiction. But it has side effects. One of them is the tendency of a given fandom to bash another. But this is more than just [[Fandom Rivalry]].
Line 16:
A subtrope of [[Fandom Rivalry]] and [[Hypocrite]]. [[Vocal Minority]] is where most of this comes from. [[Not So Different]] is often invoked. If the fandom is called out on the hypocrisy, the [[No True Scotsman]] fallacy can sometimes be invoked to deny that their favorite works have what they are criticizing.
 
==== Tropes which rely on, or include this fallacy: ====
* [[Acceptable Targets]]
