When the reputation of a piece of media (such as a TV show or a video game) on the internet is soured thanks to the unsavory nature of some of its fans who have nothing to do with the media itself, usually amplified by its detractors who compile this unsavory content on sites such as YouTube, in which Fandom Rot can also be called Hatedom Rot. This can in turn prevent newcomers from wanting to check out the media for themselves, usually out of fear of being associated with those fans.
Fandom Rot can "heal" as a piece of media decreases in popularity and/or if its fans and detractors mature and either have a change of heart or move onto different things.
However, some pieces of media may be doomed to suffer from Fandom Rot forever as its fanbase becomes synonymous with it. The people who own the piece of media may also feel it's a good idea to acknowledge or insert a joke or reference about their unsavory fans within the media itself, but this usually just immortalizes the Fandom Rot as a part of the franchise.

P1: Hey, have you heard of Otto's Quest?
P2: Otto's Quest? That show sucks! The fandom is so cringe! Haven't you seen the cringe compilations?
P1: What does any of that have to do with the show itself?
P2: ...I never really thought of that. I still don't want to watch it, though.
P3: Hey guys, have you seen the newest episode where Otto meets one of his weird fans? They got the behavior down to a T!
P1: Why would they want to associate with that? The Fandom Rot has really gotten to the writers' heads.
P2: Does anyone else suddenly feel like watching Otto's Quest?

Get the Fandom Rot mug.Franco is a huge douchebag that is a homewrecker, if you see him talking to your girlfriend just call it man he's already got her in his dm's and will act all buddy buddy with you as if he didn't just ruin everything for you, he's typically the gal pal with girls and everyone thinks he's gay, but I warn you once you get into a relationship expect the worse, because he's a gal pal he's got thousands of girls in his dm's and is even following their priv and spam accounts, don't trust him no matter how hard he may deceive you, Franco is what's wrong with this generation.
"Dude did you hear Franco was talking to your girl?" "Yeah man ik she left me just so she can be with him" "That mf does nothing but ruin good relationship man"

Get the Franbodian mug.A scrawny twink with little to no filter. He will usually partake in activities including but not limited to: Gang bangs, sexual intercourse with another man, cock and ball torture.
Franco's are mainly feminine, very few are heterosexuals. Franco's claim that they're the more dominant one in a relationship, but are secretly in denial of wanting to get absolutely pegged.
They're often very slow mentally and physically, along with constantly talking about their heritage.
