Fans who think they're morally superior for being fans of that character and pretend any reason someone has for not liking them is rooted in some kind of bigotry.

Yeah, that can really put me off as well.

I'm a bit confused - so you are basically saying the fans of a character make you dislike the character? Which if so, I get.

Yeah. There's a certain contingent of fans of "good guy" characters or characters who've been labeled progressive in some way who really do seem to think that because they like a good character or are stanning for a progressive cause, that means they are automatically good people. So whenever they are mean to other fans, bully other fans or just act like assholes in general, it's always justified. If anyone doesn't like their imaginary darling, doesn't find said darling interesting or just happens to like other characters much better, it can only be because they are a a bigot in some way. Thus any bullying or asshole thing they want to say or do is OK and a social good.

It gets pretty creepy fast. It's like they've gone beyond pretending that their shit doesn't stink to having convinced themselves that it actively can't.
