The only time I enjoyed a toxic fan base was for the show Under the Dome. Everyone seemed to hate watch the show and it made the whole thing more fun. The toxicity had the benefit of not being about social issues and just about how the show wasn’t high quality writing.
Off the top of my head, one thing people hated is that the main character hurt her leg and wore the bandage over her jeans.
I dont play Rust anymore but I still watch rust youtubers out of a morbid fascination of how they start out fun and wholesome, then they get tired and burned out, then they become the same angry, toxic sweaties they disliked in the first place.
Im pretty sure Rust has become a sentient tulpa demon that feeds on toxic rage.
I kinda had a similar experience with the walking dead. While my enjoyment of the show plummeted to a point where I didn’t even bother to watch the last like 3 or 4 seasons, I still regularly checked community spaces to see everyone dunk on it.
Under the Dome has always been super interesting to me because Brian K. Vaughn is one of the best comic book writers of all time and a consistent criticism of UTD is how bad the writing is. I know he didn’t write many of the episodes, though, but I also wonder how his episodes rank in comparison with the others.

Man, I should rewatch that show.
Maybe the jean was hurt too

“So bad, it’s dome.” —Was the catch phrase I remember online.
