In my opinion all fandom's are shit, except for those very few diamonds within the turd... I've found some fandoms can be pretty tame. The My Hero Academia fandom is fairly normal outside of some very controversial topics.

And Chish, you weren't a fool for having faith in the FNDM, but it was a little foolish to not expect their to be the extremist asshats like Soarel that exist.

Soarel is someone who has been all but blacklisted from every platform for his overzealous behavior, ranging from Youtube, to Tv Tropes, to Reddit, to this very Wiki. And he's not alone in his behavior. There is an entire Subreddit referred to as "Cinder Did Nothing Wrong" filled with Cinder Apologists like him, and there are plenty of fans just as crazy over other topics, such as the more zealous "Qrow is Ruby's Dad" theorists, or the more rabid BMBLB and Eclipse shippers.

Every fandom has bad eggs. Its important to be aware though, that there are no lows they will not stoop too.

Lets not forget the time the Steven Universe fandom nearly drove someone to taking their own life, of the time a Voltron Fan tried to blackmail the creators into making their ship canon.

EDIT: Against my better judgement, I tried to say something to Soarel. You can see the chain here, my username is "King Fubuki" btw. I'm going to get political now (and I'm new here so if I'm not supposed to do this then by all means tell me so I can delete this asap) Soarel really reminds me of Donald Trump... =/
