Quitting a show because the fandom is toxic just seems strange to me. I noped out of Supernatural fandom a couple of years back (and judging by the secrets that are posted here? Totally the right call) but I still watch the show.

Probably because the fandom is a big part of the experience for most people. If I like something I usually want to look up fandom content and discussion which leads you smack dab right into fandom. If you are completely satisfied just watching the show and never touching fandom then more power to you, but the pros of fandom (meta, fanart, fic, discussion) outweigh or equal the cons.

AYRT

Like I said, it was half the reason. The other half was the show took a nosedive imo in S2, and all of my (few) favorite characters were already getting written out or ignored. It was becoming less of an ensemble and more The Charmpelmills Family Hour, and since none of those main players were my favorites, I turned to fandom where there were more ideas/art/headcanons/fic for the characters I did like. But then too many people, including those I followed, started arguing about ships or which characters were "worth" screen time and which ones weren't, and when you're not a fan of certain characters or pairings that are the favorites, and almost no one you follow tags anything for you to blacklist the things you don't want to see, it just got overwhelmingly annoying to where I couldn't even stand the sight of certain characters anymore.

It all got magnified. Mild annoyance turned to disgust. I can also say the OUAT fandom is the only one I've ever been called the C word in, and only because I didn't ship one of the main (canon) pairings. So I really didn't feel any reason to stick around with all of that going on. And now I hear the show has gone in more directions I couldn't care less about so I have no desire to pick the show back up.

This is pretty much my exact experience: increasing lack of focus on my favs + abusive comments on my blog for not worshipping Regina = getting the hell out of dodge. Every now and then I hear what's been going on in the show and I'm SO thankful I left when I did.
