A Comprehensive Guide to the Worst Online Communities

*Not all people in these communities are cancer* [b]*List in no particular order*[/b] *Sorry for any spelling/grammatical mistakes* 1.) [b]Tumblr[/b]~ Third wave feminism and fandoms are rampant on this site and in this community. Fandoms alone are quite annoying but Tumblr feminist turn it up a notch and make these obsessed fanboy whack jobs look like saints. This site has some of the most over-sensitive backwards thinking hypocrites I've ever had the displeasure of talking too and many are highly aggressive and always assert their opinions as fact. They are quick to shut down opposing opinions and facts that disagree with their "progressive" message in some of the most ruthless and belligerent ways possible. 2.) [b]DeviantArt[/b]~ This community is filled with fandoms that push out mass amounts of r34 and cringeworthy comics. While not overly aggressive, their fan art often finds its way onto other forums and because of this community, we now have a lot more furry, cartoon, MLP, FNAF, ect. porn on the Internet. The people are not necessarily toxic (even though they are highly cringeworthy), but their art and thusly their community sure as hell is. Also, bad artist who think they are special or talented are all over the site and community and are, as expected, annoying as fūck. 3.) [b]League of Legends[/b]~ I don't have any personal experience with this community but my friends do and they say it ruins the game. People take the game way to seriously and often resort shit talking in order to calm their nerves. The community hates basically anyone new to the game or any casual players. The community also creates toxic environments on the game's forums and in chat rooms as well as giving casual players a bad image with their constant shit posting on social media. 4.) [b]Minecraft[/b]~ The Minecraft fandom is generally very cancerous and have made the overall community a breeding ground for whiney twelve year olds and shitty YouTubers. The community has been hijacked and is a shell of its former self with the people of the community producing some of the most cancerous garbage on the Internet. They push out half-assed videos on YouTube along with tons of half-assed mods and shitty fan art. 5.) [b]YouTube[/b]~ Talk about spam posts and shit talking. The YouTube community has basically made the website a joke. I'm an avid user of the site but my god is it painful sifting through the comments on videos. It's almost always spam, attention seeking, or an argument that has basically devolved into shit flinging back and forth. The community has been deteriorating for years now and while the YouTubers now seem to care more about money than their viewers more now than ever, the community has been in a constant state of shitting on everyone all the time. Just look at what the content has come to be. Fake prank videos, a fūck load of half-baked reaction videos, vine compilations, Keemstar, Skydoesminecraft, PewDiePie, Onision, ect. 6.) [b]Bungie.net forums[/b]~ Though I've only been here a year, I've seen this enough times before. The Bungie forums, including Offtopic, have been going steadily down hill. Just look at the amount of spam, shit post and hate threads. This community is sinking like a brick in water. The constant back and forth between Atheist and Christians, Democrats and Republicans, and pro gay rights supporters and anti gay rights supporters has made this community quite toxic and one of the worst I've seen in recent memory. 7.) [b]/b/[/b]~ 4chan could really have its own thread as to why it's so toxic but /b/ has to be all the worst parts of 4chan mixed into one. It's also the part that I'm the most familiar with. Pictures of dead people and suicide videos to pictures of -blam!- are just the surface of what this community has to offer. It's like a direct line to the deep web and it has some of the most disgusting people on the Internet in its community. Some of the pranks they pull are quite funny and [b]often[/b] harmless but the shit they do on the Internet more than earns their community a spot on this list. 8.) [b]FurAffinity[/b]~ Much like DeviantArt, this community is not outright aggressive or overly spastic but the content the community produces is quite cancerous and doesn't seem to stay contained on the site. It's all about furry porn and and the artist who create furry porn. Just don't go on here if you want to keep your sanity intact. 9.) [b]Call Of Duty[/b]~ This community is one of the worst for its shit talk and lack of class that such a large portion of the community shows. From your average bad mouth squeaker to your overly obnoxious casual gamer, this community is not a helpful or mature one. The YouTubers who produce content based around the game also tend to lack creativity and push this overpriced garbage down your throat so they don't lose their stream of money coming from Activision to indorse this overproduced shit. 10.) [b]Reddit[/b]~ Reddit is a much more subdued version of 4chan but that doesn't stop it from having one of the worst communities. Shit posts are rampant on the site and the community is also often a mix of people from several other toxic communities culminating to make one big shit show. There are good parts to the reddit community, much like the other communities listed, but they are far and few between. 11.) [b]Westboro Baptist Church[/b]~ While not a strictly internet based community, they still have a presence on here. These people are extremely ignorant and spiteful with their preachings basically calling for the reduction of gay people's rights and conversion of all non-believers by force. They even goes as far as to protest our soldier's funerals in hopes to push their agenda. Their community needs to just die off as it serves no real purpose and doesn't help anyone. 12.) [b]Stormfront[/b]~ This is an Internet community of neo-nàzis and they are just as big of asshats as the originals. They are racist, sexist, xenophobic, anti-Semitic, and just generally against equal rights. Extremely hateful, this community is one of the worst around. 13.) [b]GTA V[/b]~ This community consists primarily of griefers who seem to have one goal; destroy and ruin people's time on the game. They run rampant and often act like they're hot shit, shooting anyone and everyone on sight. It completely ruins the online experience and makes the game highly unenjoyable. There are also a lot of people in the community that hack their levels and cash count up. The community continues to get worse and the level of immaturity shown by the many of the people is astounding, especially on the forums. 14.) [b]Facebook/Instagram[/b]~ Narcissism and pointlessness at its best. Facebook and Instagram share one major thing in common, that being that their communities suck. The users focus on pointless shit and talk about political issues while patting themselves on the back like they've actually accomplished something. They're probably the two most narcissistic communities listed. 15.) [b]Vine[/b]~ This community breeds shitty memes and trends that communities like Facebook and YouTube pick up on and copy. Vine has become so old and uncreative yet the community continues to push shit out like there is no tomorrow. The memes spread by this community are beyond annoying and really don't deserve any recognition at all. They're often not clever or inspired at all but once this community gets a hold of a meme, it spreads that shit like the plague. 16.) [b]Bronies[/b]~ Do I even need to elaborate as to why this community is one of the worst? Just go look at their forums and you will see why they're so bad. I know I missed many shitty communities but these are the big ones I have found to be the worst. They're are also smaller more cancerous communities within the ones listed. Like the Other-kin community situated within Tumblr. What other communities belong on the list?

  • I agree with most of the list. However, I think that for Reddit, it real depends on what si reedit you're using, and for GTA V, the destruction is part of the fun! Also, I'd add 4chan's /pol/ to the list. It's a breeding ground for racism and hatred

          LoL's community is what I wish Destiny's community was like. Competitive and dedicated. I'm also a fan of 4Chan's /b/. It helps me blow off steam.

        • Call of Duty hasn't been that bad in my experience. It's just the in-game chat that's gets toxic pretty fast.

            Pretty much all accurate, only complaint is with the CoD YouTubers. Yes some of them do that but then theres thw more intellectual ones like Driftor (amazing channel) and M3RKMUSIC. Edit: but yeah, people like Chaosxsilencer perfectly fit your description

            • I think we can all agree that people are the number one cause of all problems related to people. We should get rid of all the people, that'll make the world a better place!

            • Yet another case of some demographics being judged solely on the minority. I don't deny, some of those, like /b/, are toxic. But most of that list is of mostly harmless people; only the few extremists ruin everything. Honestly, I've come to realise that trying to explain to people how the toxic 1% doesn't mean the other 99% is toxic is like talking to a brick wall. In fact, a brick wall would listen more. Just taking a simple moment to assess a situation is all it takes to change how you view life. Now, let's take Bronies - a tame example. The 1% who jack off to Ponies may be fairly messed up, but the 99%? They're pretty normal people. An average Brony's life does not consist of horse-shagging 24/7. My friend is a Brony, and I've known him for my whole life. I honestly used to live at his house almost as much as I did my own. Until he recently told me, I had no idea he was a Brony. My friend has a wife and a child, a second on the way. He doesn't jerk to ponies, and he is a successful businessman. And, guess what? You set this up perfectly, OP. You called OffTopic out on that list. So, tell me. Do you think that you, personally, are as cancerous as /b/? Because you're part of Off-Topic too. Which is on your list. I really don't expect anyone to read all this, nor care. I'm typing this because I feel upset when I see people hating on a denomination without actually knowing the whole story. Lesson? Please don't be so cruel. A simple moment of thought could make so much difference. [i]But hey. I'm some guy on the internet. What do I know?[/i]

                  I know the halo community isn't awful, but you should add us ;) Always finding something else to complain about, no matter how much effort 343 puts in.
