Is the Cuphead fandom really that bad?

[DOOMGUY]

So, just like Undertale, Cuphead was getting unwarranted hate mainly due to it's fandom. And I've seen people saying "Tumblr ruined the game!!!" or they say "The fandom is bad because of the rule 34!!!" So I am going to say this right now... Is the Cuphead fandom really that bad? Did the Fandom and Tumblr really ruined Cuphead? (You are all going to hate on me right now) Well, maybe not. According to this video, it explains everything. (Share this all over twitter, instagram, etc. Share it to the world.)

(Tbh, just because some people are bad in a fandom, that doesn't mean everyone is bad. Also, there is a vocal minority in every fandom ever.)

edit: The Cuphead fandom is actually garbage, I was wrong.

Dude, I think calling a fandom "horrible" or "bad" is kinda unfair. Rewatch the video plz.

Let me say that again, just because some people are bad in a fandom, that doesn't mean everyone is bad and it doesn't mean the fandom/game is bad. There, now you have it.

Having watched the video I still hold that the fanbases can harm the game in question. My reasoning behind this comes from personal experience with Undertale.

I got the chance to play the beta of Undertale way back when it started and I wasn't a fan of it then. It just didn't do anything for me. The next time I saw andything about Undertale was on reddit and the post was asking people what they thought about Undertale and how the story played out. I hopped into the comments section and asked some questions while making sure that people understood I had not played the game since the beta and that it wasn't my cup of tea then, how had the game changed since then.

Over the course of an hour my inbox was flooded by messages ranging from "Well the game has come a long way" all the way over to "How dare you hate this gem of a game that gives transgendered people hope that there is a place for them in the gaming world". And I hate to say that I had received WAY more hate mail than anything else out of my innocent questions and declaration that I didn't like what the game was in beta.

Because of this attack on my person I developed a seething hatred for Undertale. I can't stand the art, the music, or even the mere mention of Undertale because I am reminded of the hate I received about it. I have even avoided games that were compared to Undertale because of that hatred, mind you some of those I went back and looked at much much later but my point stands.

Is my story the norm? I have no idea, but I do know that gatekeeping and bigotry happens in these kinds of fandoms on a startling basis.

I felt sorry about your bad experience in the Undertale fandom sir. Well, the majority of the people are nice right now but like all fandoms, you gotta avoid the bad side and stick to the good side. And tbh, don't let the vocal minority ruin your experience of a fandom or your experience of a thing you like. (There's gotta be vocal individuals in every fanbase, so it's better off to avoid the bad side.)

No, that is not true. Watch the video again. Sorry, but that is not the answer. The truth is, every game that has non human characters will bring out weird rule 34 but you won't realize the amazing fanart that doesn't have any weird stuff in it, every game that is competitive will bring out ragers but you won't notice that you are playing with 9 other people in any given league of legends game, every game that is kid friendly will bring out cringe worthy kids but you won't notice the mature ones that don't scream in voice chat, and anything that has left leaning diversity will bring out crazy radical feminists but you won't notice the calm ones that don't shove thier believes down your throat. This is how it play out and people interpret it in a dodgy way. The whole "bad fandoms/the fandom ruined it!!!" arguement is just a dumb, pointless arguement that makes no sense and it shouldn't be taken seriously. Judge a game by itself, not by it's fanbase/fandom.

Fandoms don't ruin games, but they ruin your perspective of the game or spoil your time playing it. I would hope some people can separate the 2, but in todays age it's impossible with the internet. Enjoy games for what they are, dislike them for your experience with them. Don't base judgement on a game from the people who act like jackasses. Ever see the movie Taxi Driver? Well John Hinckley didn't stop people from enjoying and praising that movie. So why should a stupid fandom stop you from enjoying a game?

Well, stick to the good side of the fandom and ignore the vocal minority/bad side of the fandom. So you won't deal with some jerks, it's a lot better off doing that so you won't get your experience of a game/fandom ruined by just one jerk in a fanbase. But like always, the fanbase and the game are 2 different things. So have fun being in a fanbase or have fun playing a game and don't let the vocal minority or any jerk ruin your experience, and let's all play nice.

Based solely on the steam discussion board I'd say it's pretty trash.
