I'm only guessing saying it was around 1998, it might even be as early as '96, I'm just not certain. I don't know much of what I did in my early days but I know in late '99 I took my first foray into trolling haha. then I discovered fandom in May 2001 (Harry Potter to be specific) and I've never looked back since then. I left that fandom way before the final book came out but I've been in plenty of others since.
all fandoms have a group of vocal and annoying fans who give everybody else a bad name ): depends where you go I guess, fans on livejournal can be really different to those on tumblr and so on.
I think a lot of people who get worked up, in my experience are either dealing with a genuinely cunty person (whether they're being mean, stupid, ignorant etc doesn't matter) or they just don't know how to recognise a troll. not sure age has anything to do with it, really.

Oh my, don't I know it. I was in Death Note fandom at its peak, which had the worst rep of any others at the time. I guess I was lucky, because most of the people I met were pretty cool, but I did see and get linked to some insane 'tards. I'm sure you know the pain, especially hearing what I have about Homestuck fans. (Most of which seem pretty laid-back to me but uhh...?)
Hm, you're right. Bad wording on my part. But I will say some of the most vocal fandom crazies at least are young and hormonal and not sure what to do with themselves. Not that I wasn't there myself for a while, lol, and not that older people can't be nuts. One of the Death Note fandom's most annoying and recurring members was almost 35, if I remember correctly. It's awesome to be in fandom at that age, but posting incoherent ramblings about your Sims to every other comment in every post is a little much.

haha anime and manga fandom in general just seems to attract the crazies. I used to read/watch a lot but I never really got into one specific fandom because I would be seeing new things all the time there just wasn't time to concentrate on one fandom for long. I've been in and out of kpop for the past 4 or 5 years, while I'm not ashamed of that in the slightest I wish it didn't attract so many genuine idiots.
my current fandoms are Homestuck (duh) and touhou and I guess doujin music (if that can even be considered a fandom when all you do is listen to music by super obscure people), though I have a wider interest in stgs as a whole these days. I have avoided Homestuck fandom because I think most of the people in it are generally pretty annoying - especially on tumblr. lj fans are pretty cool so far. I only talk about it with one person, on twitter.
touhou fans... I only like a very, very small percentage of fans. people either think fans are loli lovers just because the playable characters are all girls, or that we wouldn't know a good stg if it shot us in the face. the small percentage of people I like fall into neither of those categories.
I don't really know why I'm so judgemental these days but I think my time in the HP fandom has something to do with it. I witnessed almost every major wank from 2001-2007. after that I just couldn't get too involved in any fandom and just decided to enjoy things pretty much by myself.
