Time for some good ole' fashioned negativity

Smash Bros
Star Wars
Anime (in general)

Those are the top three by a wide margin I think. Star Wars right now is especially a mess

Mass Effect for killing a top tier series

Bioware isn't as bad as the top worst, but it's probably Top 10 or so. Perhaps the definition of an unpleasable fanbase.

LoL I think is a bad fanbase but it's overrated how bad they are - a lot of the negativity comes from the sheer size of the fanbase meaning that there's a lot of bad apples to stand out

I played it about a year ago and realized it was impossible to play a single match without someone from my team picking a fight with me or someone else for dumb reasons.

Any fanbase where a thing

1) Is popular with "nerds" (mostly scifi stuff or videogames)
2) Has multiple instalments and long wait times between instalments, which also leads to point 3
3) Has a very active, busy online community allowing people to get bedded into discussion about it, and take up hard stances about it through stubborn arguing that they wouldn't have given a shit about had they not been lured into an internet argument
Optional 4) Is nostalgic

This explains Smash, Mass Effect, Star Wars, Rick and Morty, even Game of Thrones. And honestly Pokemon too, what with the pathetic vitriol spewed at people who like Gen 1, and the vitriol from people who like Gen 1 towards fans of the newer games.

Oh it's bad, but I think it just barely makes the Top 10 for me. I think you're more likely to meet a trash anime fan than a trash LoL player.

Steven Universe is a good example.

Rick and Morty fans are like insufferable. The thing is, at this point sometimes I'm not even sure if someone is being sarcastic when they pull out the IQ joke thing, or if they even know that the pickle rick thing was a completely staged. IMO they are worse than MLP at its height. I've yet to see an episode of the show and it took years until MLP died down where I actually watched the show.

I know this is like a smaller set now, but Souls series fans are also among the worst people to converse with. I don't think I've seen another game where the fanbase reacts so hostilely towards people who have negative things to say about it.

Overwatch was also really bad when I stopped playing, and from what I understand it got even worse. A lot of it is Blizzard's fault too.

I also think the PCMasterRace crowd is also really unhealthy. Yeah, you can make a PC more powerful than a console (somewhat) for like the same price. But the gap is closing and they are just tossing a ton of misinformation or just downright lies. Yeah, when it comes to building a PC they are really helpful, but they are like worse than the height of what it was like from fanboys from the 90s console wars era.

Also, right now I don't think the Star Wars fanbase is that bad for the size of it. A lot of them are actually united and upset about the state of the franchise and I think rightfully so.

Saying anime is a fanbase is way too broad. That's like saying videogames or movies is a fanbase. Anime has several different genres and subgenres that go into it. Some anime fanbases are really bad, like the "Only 80s and 90s shows are good" crowd.

A lot of people would say the video game fanbase in general is bad. I can't take it too seriously since it mostly comes from within that same fanbase, but reading some posts on other boards and sites I can see why the idea is prevalent.

r/the_donald and similar far-right groups. I don't really care enough to figure out which specific one is the worst.

(Just in case anyone feels like bringing it up: yes, far-left crazies are also pretty bad, but they're less awful because there are less of them and they have no influence on anyone with real power.)

To be brutally honest I don't think stuff like feminists and the alt-right belong in discussions like this. Not just because go away politics, but also because those aren't really fanbases, they're groups/movements.

I don't know I guess it depends on what you're saying.

If by "Smash fanbase" you guys are referring to, say, the streams of Smash tournaments or to people that play on For Glory or something, then yes those can be pretty bad.

When I say "Smash fanbase", I'm mostly thinking of the competitive players who actually attend tournaments, and I've only had positive experiences with that group and have been to many tournaments in more than one location.
