For sure, and fans like this have always existed. It gets magnified to a ridiculous degree because of social media but I can remember meeting non-chill fans of artists/bands irl who thought I'd said I wanted to come over a kick their pet if I said I didn't like their personal fave artist. Not even trashing the artist, just simply saying something very banal like: 'I don't really care for their music' when ASKED if I liked the artist. Some people very much affix a lot of themselves into the media/music they like.

The real issue is this kind of behavior is being encouraged in online fan groups, or even expected if you like an artist at all, and that's the part that troubles me because there leaves next to no level of moderation when talking about art. You can love something very much but not have it be a personal attack if someone else doesn't like it the same way and that kind of attitude is dying online.

This has been my experience with MCU fans. A coworker trying to get others to talk about the latest movie (this happened a few times so it was actually a few different movies) and asking everyone, “have you seen this yet?!” They’d chastise anyone that didn’t watch the first screening and lord help you if said you don’t watch the MCU. He’d actually throw a tantrum and slam things around the office. He was an extreme example but my experience with MCU fans has been that they cannot understand or tolerate anyone not being in competition for “best MCU fan ever.”
