Anime Pulse

Has an anime's fanbase ever colored your perspective on a show or even made you put off watching it?

I can't in recent memory recall if a fanbase ruined a show for me. I usually try to separate a fanbase from a show, because of the shenanigans (shipping wars, rage comments, etc.). Maybe Attack on good taste, with most people telling how good it was from the start. I remember watching it for the first time and going most of the characters are dumb and will get themselves killed if it weren't for plot armor.
