Yeah, I mean, it's hit-or-miss, sometimes fandom makes me like characters a lot more than I would have without it, and sometimes it all just goes so so wrong. Sometimes I'm not even in a fandom and I'm sick of hearing about certain people (hi, Loki/Hiddleston). Has that ever happened to you?

I've had both of those happen to me before. I usually lurk in fandom and even though most of my fandoms are older, but I've stumbled across vitrolic hate from years before and years current that made me appreciate and love characters I already loved even more. If that makes any sense. .

As for the second part, oh yeah, definitely. I've got a bad case of hype aversion to most of the pairings, shows, characters that fandom shits their pants over. SnK is one of them atm. I'm so sick of hearing about it.

It totally does, some characters I like only because fandom hates them so much (usually female characters, because they're the ones who attract hate for no good reason). Ugh, I'm so glad the SnK fever started dying down a little bit from what it was like a few months ago. It's one of very few shows on my "probably never watch" list because of the obsession (up there with BBC's "Sherlock").

Totally agreed on that. A few of those characters I liked only because fandom hated them, but I grew to appreciate and love them on their own. And most of them are female characters because fandom can totally be brutal when it comes to female characters. I do have a couple of male characters who I feel that way towards though.

The thing is I started to read Snk before anime came out and just sort of forgot about it. Then the anime came along and the fandom exploded and with it came all sorts of offputting bullshit that soured me on picking it up again anytime soon. I cannot agree enough on Sherlock. I'm getting tired of Sherlock Holmes in general.
