Be a cancer not a can'ter
Take it with a grain of salt, I am slower than a snail.
A truly prophetic sig...
Not sure it's possible to have a sane fandom just by the very nature of fandom.

Pretty much.
I don't mind souls fans so much, though. Definitely has some wankers in it though.
Digimon but don't give the waifu dudes an iota of attention or respect
Furry fandom. But it's not a typical fandom. Also MLPFiM until 2017-2019
Honestly? Cuphead. /v/ and tumblr went out of their way to prove it was a 'bad fandom' like undertale. They couldn't really find anything.
You have a greater chance in life of experiencing the lazarus phenomenon (Being declared dead and then living again a short brief period later) than making some earth shattering masterpiece of a work.

Newgrounds fandom, is the most sane thing ever, better than twitter, insta, and even youtube

Also, the Świat Według Kiepskich (polish sitcom) fandom is very chill.
No shipping, no grooming, no dramas, no uncomfortable fanart, no harassing of creators. That's something.

Fan short for fanatic
fanatic:
a person with an obsessive interest in and enthusiasm for something, especially an activity.
a person filled with excessive and single-minded zeal, especially for an extreme religious or political cause.
Sounds completely sane to me.
I can't really say a general fandom here - I feel like any fandom focused on obscure or less popular characters tend to be mostly chill. Most people I have encountered around there tend to be really grateful and even excited to talk about said characters. It's great.
Maybe Hatsune Miku / Vocaloid. I expected a lot of creepy weeb losers, but it's mostly fairly well-adjusted weeb losers.
If there's one thing Youtube Shorts/Tiktok made something relevant to everyone's zeitgeist that is good, it would be House M.D.
Is everyone saying this or just a very specific subset of people that seem incredibly unhinged?
Castle Crashers. Have never met a Castle Crashers fan I didn't like or at least tolerate.
Pretty sure every fanbase has their share of nutjobs. I would love to think that the yakuza/lad community are adjusted but there's alot of people that jumped on when zero came out (income the tsunami of majima fans).
Can't really be salty about that since...I jumped on after zero...

What are you looking at?
puyo puyo fandom, probably because its pretty small (at least on the english-speaking side)

Hmmmm.... wander over Yonder?
Fear and Hunger! The fans are delightful and make the silliest stuff for this incredibly dark game series.
The only people you have to watch out for are the guys who go out of their way to misgender Marina from the second game or draw “femboy” NSFW of her. As you would expect from how people act similarly towards other characters (like Bridget from Guilty Gear), they’re just nothing but trouble.
Someone please help me revive my clubs
Not super active in the fandom but from what ive seen Webfishing fans are fairly chill and nice for the most part, I've only had a small amount of negative experiences from people in that community.
It's kinda hard to find a fandom with absolutely zero toxicity whatsoever, it's why I mostly just enjoy the media itself and ignore the fandoms for the most part besides a small handful of them.

Remedy games (Alan Wake, Control)
I would say Road Rash and Turrican. I guess it’s because these franchises are stuck in the retro era, and not talked about as much, which is why these fandoms seem to be small. You can correct me if I’m wrong.

the elder scrolls fandom. barely any drama and the little there is is directed at tod
there might be some shipping wars in the monster prom fandom but it is mostly us drolling over monsters from my experience.
but you know... sometimes watching a fandom war is the fun part... sometimes you just grab a bag of popcorn and watch people throw poop at each other :)
