Fandom repulsion is when you join a fandom and begin to enjoy it despite the negatives(e. drama/shipping debates/etc.), get really deep into it— and then something happens that is related to that fandom(e. drama/discourse/etc.) that makes you quit the fandom so abruptly that you never want to even hear about it again. Maybe even to the point of blocking and muting, or deleting your account.

Luke: “God, yea. I can’t stand the show after the fandom, even muted all the terms on Twitter. You could say I have Fandom Repulsion.”
