-Hardcore DC [Film] Fanboys. I find their Fundamentalism annoying; listening to them, DC's film division can do no wrong, Snyder is Jesus, and Man of Steel is the next Chinatown. Part of being a fan of a franchise is acknowledging when a studio makes mistakes; I've acknowledged all of the mistakes I see in the MCU, and I consider Feige/Whedon artistic heroes. But, the constant potshots at Marvel and the religious fervor have made me distance myself from the DC film crowd.
-The Defenders of the Killing Joke. The Joker crippled and raped Barbara Gordon; it infuriates me to no end when defenders claim that the Joker did not rape her. I recommend they look up the current definition of what constitutes rape (especially in light of the original art Bolland created, that was subsequently censored.) Rape aside, the crippling of Barbara infuriates me as well. Defenders have said, "oh, it provides positive characterization and added some realism to the dangers of crime fighting." Fine, if that is the case, than Bruce should have stayed in a wheelchair after Bane/Ben broke him.
-The Rabid Doctor Who Fans. The canon has acknowledged that Time Lords can change gender in their regenerations, but, raise the possibility in the discussion, and one will find the some of most misogynistic comments possible. I'm not even raising the lid on the can of racism, as my blood pressure will skyrocket even more.
-Hardcore Halloween Fans. I have no problem with viewers not liking Zombie's unique take on the mythology. I take issue with the claims that he ruined it or that the franchise was in such stellar shape before Zombie added his two cents. Before H20, Michael siring a child with his niece was canon. Let that sink in for a ruddy moment. Post H20 retcon, we had the awfulness of Busta Rhymes in Resurrection.
