What fan base annoy you the most.
For me its defo Apple fans. I mean they are willing to pay over price prices for shitty devices and be locked into a shitty eco system.

Then you don't like me.
Though I'm not a 'fanatic', macOS or iPhone are way better than the alternative. The user experience and reliability of Mac is lightyears beyond Windows, and always has been. I've had Mac since our first Performa back in 1995 running Mac OS 8, and every version since beat every contemporary Windows version easily and handily. Sure there have been ups and downs, and I wouldn't deny there's been some questionable stuff (like how my 2019 i7 MBP doesn't have certain minor features in the newest update because you need an M1 Mac, but I'd call it lazyness instead), but it has always just worked without question. And in an intuitive and smart way, unlike Windows. It's not that I don't know how Windows works, I've used those about as much as Mac computers over the years, but Windows is just dumb in comparison, and I always get pissed off at. To me, the computers aren't really "overpriced" (I mean, obviously I'd like to pay less, but that goes for everything), because I'll pay for a better experience. Better to be happy with something expensive, than to be pissed off at something cheap.
Concerning iPhones, it's a similar thing. Android is worse than iOS. It's complicated, unintuitive and convoluted. Like Windows, it's a mess, and iOS is clean. Again though, I wouldn't deny fair criticism, iOS and the hardware can sometimes be slow in adapting certain new features. I admit, my experience with Android phones is much more limited than my experience with Windows comparatively. However, regardless iPhones would be the more logical choice, because the synergy of Macs with iPhones is flawless. The biggest pro with having stuff by a single manufacturer, and the total opposite of 'shitty ecosystem'. If anything, with Apple you'll actually have an ecosystem at all, instead of loosely connected devices that you have to go through hoops (I count everything that doesn't work instantly and seamlessly like Apple products do with each other as 'jumping through hoops') to get them to work together in any acceptable way. The seamlessness of Apple devices is undeniably unmatched.
I'm not one of those people that buys a new phone every year and definitely aren't stupid enough to wait in line. I'd just go get something a day later, but whatever. I'm still sporting an iPhone 8, and before that had an iPhone 5. I'll be skipping the upcoming iPhone 14 at least, and will decide next year if my 8 needs replacement. I will give you however, that Apple now is worse than when Steve Jobs was still alive.

Star Wars fans are unbearable. You can't have a normal discussion with them, because everything is surround by negativity. You can't just share you're enjoying a new movie ou a new show, because they all sucks, it will tank and bomb and destroy the franchise and blablabla
Which makes me wonder why they even think the Original Trilogy was such a masterpiece in first place. It was a goofy action adventure family movie, and SW fans thread that like it was the finest piece of art made in human history and therefore everything that came later sucks hard
As someone who loves Star Wars and understanding accepts it's just a common piece of mainstream movie media, deal with Star Wars fandom makes the most unpleasant experience when it comes to being part of a fandom
No wonder why SW moviegoers are a bunch of 50 years old boomers

I'm with you on that, and I'm a big Star Wars fan. While the Original Trilogy does still reign supreme it's not as if the new stuff is all bad. Revenge of the Sith has been great since it released, and of the Disney era Rogue One is excellent, one of my favourites. So is The Mandalorian, which is pretty much what you want to see in this franchise, and The Clone Wars. The ending of Clone Wars is, wow. Even Book of Boba Fett, The Bad Batch and the new Obi-Wan Kenobi series are fine (though Obi-Wan needs a couple episodes to get going). Boba Fett is maybe more of a Mandalorian season 2.5 instead of it's own series, but eh, why not.
I do have to say, I watched the Solo movie again a couple of days ago, and that one is a bit mediocre. It feels unnecessary, and I'm not sure it actually fits in the overal storyline, because it doesn't really make much sense and it doesn't feel like the Han Solo from the original movies experienced the things from the Solo movie. He's.. different. The big culprits though are the numbered movies; Episode 7, 8 and 9. I agree on that. I can't bring myself to consider them canon, because those definitely don't feel like they belong in the complete storyline. Let alone the problems they have by themselves.
