In this episode of The Good, The Bad, The Fandom, host Isabella Sanchez takes a deep dive into the dark side of fandom culture: fandom toxicity. From heated ship wars and gatekeeping to full-blown harassment campaigns and cancel culture, we break down how online fan communities can turn hostile and the lasting impact of these toxic behaviors.
With real-world examples and an insightful interview with Dr. Drea Letamendi, we explore why and how fandom toxicity happens and what can be done about it. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion on the fine line between passion and toxicity in fan spaces.
