One of the best and worst parts of having any form of popularity on the internet. This applies to videogames, movies, youtubers, artists, porn, and basically everything else.
The fanbase is the sum total of all a persons fans good, bad, and otherwise.
While the positive portions of the fanbase often outweigh the negative it can become irritating for yourself and others when your own fans are constantly harassing another persons fans or each other for essentially no reason.
Fans provide the vital service of spreading your name around for others to hear and come to enjoy your stuff much in the same way religious fans never shut up about how you should join there church and talk about there imaginary friend in the sky.
On the other side of this idea however you have the fans who spread your work like the crusades, by destroying, demeaning, or getting butthurt over everything/one remotely similar to your own work.

Get the Fanbasemug. The absolute scum of all online communities.
Griefers are all the sadistic weirdos who can't seem to relax and enjoy life.
They spend most of there time delighting in violence, destruction, and pointless harassment all of which can be repaired by a moderator in under 30 seconds.
The only places where griefing is allowed or encouraged is backwater minecraft servers run by griefers to get there needless sadism out on each other.
The majority of griefers cry themselves to sleep at night knowing they are wasting the time doing nothing to nobody but themselves and that every trace of there rampages is erased in seconds and all memory of them forgotten.

Get the Griefermug. The people who constantly try to ban a book, videogame, movie, ect. for not being morally "clean"
These are the kind of people who make the ridiculous (and false) claim that video games are bad, harry potter encourages satanism, and that a nipslip causes permanent damage to anyone who sees it.
Some of them are nothing but trolls who feed of the resulting media coverage.
Most however actually believe there own insane ideas are correct for example fundamentalists and Allen quist
The appropriate response to these people varies based on situation but most of the time it is one of two things either laugh at them or get angry (but only irritated angry not beat down angry) and point out exactly why they are incorrect.
Normally they have impossibly high standards (religion)
or they have found an axe crazy reason to believe something is corrupting there children.

Moral guardians: Down with video games they cause violence suicide and more violence
Normal person: Actually violence per 1000 citizens peaked back in 1982 before doom the first major violent video game was released. For that matter violence has drop by half since then starting directly after violent games started coming into the media.
Moral guardians: Nah, uh our great leader Jack Thompson told us video games is evil.
Normal person: then your a dumbass.

Get the Moral guardiansmug. Kobold are small dog-man like creatures which live on the fringes of larger civilizations.
Kobold are incapable of farming and make a living by stealing what they can from other civilizations. Compounded with the fact that they are frail to the point of pathetic it's understandable why they often lose there communities or are wiped out entirely.
Living almost exclusively in caves and occasionally small cobbled together villages Kobold maintain a position as the worlds scavengers, stealing small goods from the dead after battles and looting garbage dumping grounds. Occasionally a very lucky, brave, or stupid Kobold may get away with stealing something extremely valuable but this is rare.
The shear ridicule of there abilities has caused some to take pity on them, leaving useless but still useable items outside of there protected stockpiles for Kobold to take.
Something about them also seems to garner some form of pity and feelings of adoration leading to them being referred to as cutebold by people who find there quarks endearing rather then annoying.
There main import is death:There main export is petty annoyance.

Mayor: A Kobold thief managed to sneak into our fort through my river access and stole an artifact platinum goblet that was encrusted with diamonds, rubies and gold. I was pretty pissed at the time but thinking back...that little guy must have become king of the Kobold. The rest of the dwarves sure thought it was ballsy, it became a favorite engraving subject for awhile.

Get the Koboldmug. The lowest form of gaming that's still considered gaming.
Call of duty is literally the same game with a new map every single year. Don't believe me? Call of duty 3's crash screen reads and I quote "call of duty 2 has crashed"
The fanbase was originally alright but then children with parents who don't give a shit ruined it for everyone, forever.
If you play call of duty and nothing else you are essentially the scum of the gaming community.
If you believe call of duty is better then any game out there, not every, any of the other games out there then you are lower then the scum
The entire series is now being milked dry by greedy developers and is honestly not worth playing in any way shape or form in it's current state.

Get the Call of dutymug. Phenomenon where in behavior by unconnected individuals creates a seemingly concentrated effort. This behavior is copied from a previous source without an original.
In short Stand alone complex is multiple copies of a behavior, object, view, ect, existing without an original.

The laughing Man is a living example of Stand Alone Complex.
Not only did hundreds copy his works without knowing who or what he was of there own volition all claiming to be the original.
But he himself was copying a plan found floating the net without any apparent source.

Get the Stand alone complexmug. Frank West the main character of Dead rising. After years of working for newspapers Ex-photographer Frank West decided to go freelance and cover topics most journalists wouldn't even consider including riots, wars, and a myriad of other topics.
In addition Frank West fought his way through the first (official) zombie out break inside of the Willamette mall in Colorado after the city was quarantined, discovered the culprit behind the outbreak, killed numerous insane mall goers who'd succumbed to the stress of a zombie outbreak and became a world famous celebrity.
Unknown to the public until late in his fame Frank West was infected by the zombies during his time in the mall and became dependent on the drug zombrex which temporarily prevents the zombification process and if taken every 24hours can keep an infected person alive indefinitely.
During the events of Dead Rising 2: off the record (alternate but equal version of DR 2) Frank is seen fallen from glory and now a disgraced former celebrity playing on the game show Terror is reality (a gore fest centered around slaughtering zombies) to make money to keep himself in zombrex. Frank isn't a man who can be kept down however and went on to discover the truth behind phenotrans the sole producer of zombrex, Terror is reality, and the numerous outbreaks since the Willamette mall incident including the events at Fortune City where both Dead Rising 2's take place.
