I'd never get involved in a billion years, but the Sherlock fandom is so popcorn worthy...especially the part of fandom who thought Johnlock was endgame or that the fourth season had a secret episode that somehow makes season 4 not suck.

Depends on how you define best. Tolkien fandom drama is usually enjoyable. Buffy drama is hilarious.

If you mean by best the most intense, Star Wars hands down.

It's not a fandom per se, but I think exchange culture is the best for drama because it doesn't matter. It's not connected to real-world issues like racism or sexism or doxxing. It's just petty bickering and nitpicking, and it's pretty reliable.

Obviously it's a whole lot quieter than it once was, but I recently found a few blogs about One Direction fans who still believe that... what were their names again... Harry and Louis? Are secretly banging, the marriages are fake, the (I think he's three or four years old now?) child is fake, and any day now the charade will end and they will be together-!
It's both creepy and, from a safe distance, quite funny.

Star Wars, Harry Potter was RIDICULOUS back in it's heyday (and would've produced Star Wars grade drama today if it had the same social media presence), every damn superhero franchise has insane drama, there's doll fandom drama (American Girl and those reborn dolls, for example), Hetalia fandom was nuts (I wasn't into it but there was post after post about here in FS alone), Dream Daddies, Disney princess fandom, you name it!

Larries are batshit, as are the ppl who IRL ship the two main Twilight characters and swear they have sekrit!children.

From my experience, it's a threeway tie between Supernatural, Doctor Who, and Sherlock. At least, it used to. Not sure about now.

Reylo drama is currently my favorite. Between the fans insisting that Kylo and Rey are gonna have babies and the ones comparing the Force Bond to actual rape, I just can't.

Doctor Who.

The drama is just, so, like... thorough. It's deep, and mellow, like a well-aged wine.

What are the chill fandoms? Do any exist?

Fandoms of one.

Tolkien is pretty chill most of the time. We mostly stay in our sections and enjoy things how we enjoy them, and there isn't a ton of judging others for their opinions except every once in a while.

Never seen or heard of any Jeeves and Bertie drama.

Granted, this is an older and rather small fandom, which helps, but the "Frasier" fandom spots I've found online are really quiet and friendly. People there are just happy to discuss the show/characters and remember their favorite moments/episodes and leave it at that :).

The "Bates Motel" fandom is also pretty relaxed. I think, at worst, there's been the occasional disagreement between some who ship Norma/Norman and some who ship Norma/Romero, but those disagreements have been pretty tame from what I've observed. If there are any actual bad spots within that fandom, I've been fortunate not to encounter them.

Maybe the American Girl one. There are some snobs, but most people are super nice (though there's a weird thing going on where it feels like you have to be nice and can't have disagreements).

Star Trek?

If you asked me a few months ago, I would've said The Good Place was chill, but then a few blogs went after me and my friends as "racists" for shipping Eleanor/Michael (two white characters) instead of shipping Eleanor/Chidi (a white character and a POC). They also completely disregarded the fact that we all do ship Eleanor/Chidi, and now I think the "call out" post has somewhere in the vicinity of 500 notes, but I can't check because the blogs also blocked me, so. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Solarpunk seems to be a bunch of nice people.

I feel like the English speaking side of a lot of Chinese BL novel fandoms are fairly chill so far but that might be because they're not exactly huge. The Chinese part of fandom is apparently pretty crazy but it's much, much bigger and the netizens over there can be vicious so I'm not doubting it.

Most video game fandoms are pretty chill compared to other media fandoms. There's some exceptions like Undertale, Life is Strange, etc. (basically if it became popular among the Migratory Slash Fandom or on tumblr it's a fucking shit show) and of course the occasional major shit storm like the ME3 ending one. But most big games and franchises seem to be alright.
