What the subject line says! Mind you, tell us about a petty FANDOM-related reason, not a petty RL reason (unless of course it's a blurring of the two, like being racist in their meta about a POC character or something like that.)

Never shutting up about what they don't ship.

A rant about how there was too much smut in the fandom. Not really petty, but the only reason I've ever unfollowed someone besides one person who asked me to and a couple people who weren't active for months.

Someone who posts about why my ship is "bad" or "wrong" or "gross."

Not listening when I tell them repeatedly I haven't watched and am not interested in watching their favorite show and trying to push fandom and meta onto me of the show I haven't watched.

I have a zero tolerance policy for kink-shaming.

Using the terms "we" and "us" too much in her writings about her own personal headcanons, when she meant "I" and "me."

Posting an idea for a Harry Potter fanfic crossover. I told them it was the worst thing I have ever heard of and noped out forever.

Ahh to be a kid again.

They kept reblogging
"Tumblr poetry".
I don't know
what the actual
name of it is.
But it
looks
like
this.

I also unfollowed someone because they kept tagging SFW stuff as NSFW.

They kept shitting all over my OTP but got super-offended if anyone did the same to theirs. Lol, bye.

There was that one time a person called a minor-ish supporting character "humorless." Said character literally went an entire chapter with practically nothing except for good-natured teasing and snarky wink-winks coming out of his mouth, and a good portion of his lines in the next chapter were the same.

The fan didn't offend me or anything by it, but I am just not patient enough to listen to fans who have such terrible eyesight or reading comprehension skills.

Talking too much about her new fandom, although it was less that I defriended her specifically for that, more that I was an asshole about it and we had an argument to the point where I just defriended it.

I feel awful about it now. The real deal was that I felt all of my fandom friends were slipping away, and one had defriended me over not being in her fandom anymore; some others just wouldn't chat about anything else in our group chats, so I'd feel ignored and leave. This friend didn't do either of those things, though, but I took it out on her anyway.

I wish I could apologize, but she hasn't been on LJ in years. :(

I wouldn't say it was petty, but I felt bad about defriending her over it. I had a very new LJ friend who only ever talked about really dark, upsetting things. I can't say what, but it was the sort of thing you normally don't unload onto people you've just met.

I've since been through one of those periods in life where it's 24/7 shit. I get it. (Sort of - I barely talked about it on LJ, because I'm the type to focus on the positive stuff.) But it was too much for me, and I defriended her because I just... could not handle it anymore. Which was very sucky of me, I realize.

Reblogging a rant about my favorite anime and how it was ruined because the creator said something problematic in an interview.

trans headcanons, not interested, bye.

More like the straw that broke the camel's back, since this person was a textbook whiny tumblr slacktivist, but I unfollowed someone after they started posting a ton of shit about fandoms I didn't care about (and on the rare occasion when they made posts related to the fandom I originally followed them for, it was cringeworthy nonsense involving trans headcanons).

I've unfriended people for their views on top/bottom dynamics for the ship I enjoy. But it was more like this one person in particular was forcing her views on people to the point that she would harass people on anon if they didn't agree with her. No regrets.

Because they wanted the death of the main villains in the series. They are my babies. I don't care if they killed 1/4 of humanity.

Because they would not tag for a fandom I dislike that is full of triggering content for me.

I don't see how it was so hard to just tag for fucking Dangan Ronpa.

Gave a book I think is mediocre 5 stars on Goodreads while giving one I love 1.

They kept shoving their otp crackship into literally everything they could. Even shit that had nothing to do with shipping and nothing to do with their blog. It stopped being cute really fast.

This person's content suddenly went from a variety of subjects to nothing but stuff about one specific video game character, and tons of it. I did not know the character or play the game, so it got annoying PDQ scrolling past post after post of it.

They ship the same "dark" ship I do, but they are delusional and think it's true love and post stupid fluffy ficlets about them, and fuck, gag me with a spoon.

Because they were convinced a side character is the main character and also secretly canon married to another character and they wouldn't shut up about it. I blocked them.

Insisting that 'crack pairing' just meant non-canon, same with 'AU fic' and would go on long rants about how they couldn't believe most fics didn't tag it with AU when they were full of non-canon things like making people gay.

Reblogging untagged pairings that I hate.

In non-petty, any serious hint that they can't tell fantasy from reality and reblogging anything along the lines about how people who wrote slash are homophobic or who ship 'problematic' things are horrible people.

Continuing to whine about the potential first name reveal of a character.
