I'm curious too even though I'm not a bit religious.

That's probably the only religious leader they've heard of.

I think the nun’s in the Magdeline laundries were pretty toxic Jesus fans. A couple of elderly nuns in Scotland have recently been prosecuted for their abuse of children in their care back in the day. And what about the nutjobs outside abortion clinics. And priests with choirboys. Not proselytising doesn’t stop a Jesus fan being toxic.

Those examples you mention are not representative of Christianity as a whole.

Vladimir Putin.

Andrew Tate, Donald Trump, Tommy Robinson and Bonnie Blue.

Taylor Swift!

Nah, they are very protective and will swarm anyone who is perceived to be taking shots at her, and of course given the numbers there are some pockets of crazy, but really for the most part they are quite a fun and harmless fandom

How?

How are they a toxic fan base? As they dismiss the pool party incident

EnterQueene · 22/06/2026 07:55

I hadn't thought of sport as that is not a 'celebrity', but I would have to say the most toxic fans are football fans, as pointed out earlier. As a Scot, I nominate Celtic and Rangers fans as they most toxic fanbase - lawless scum terrorising and making a mess of their own communities, with regressive sectarianism thrown into the toxic mix.

It’s Britney (‘s) bitch

The One Direction fans who believed that Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson were in a relationship, to the extent of claiming that Louis’ baby was his and Harry’s baby. There were a few threads in Mumsnet about it at the time, and I remember being astounded that they all seemed to really believe that it was true, and posted about all the ‘evidence’. Very odd.

That was the first time I ever came across the phrase ‘shipping’ (is that what it’s called?). I’d never known girl fans of boy bands wanting them to be romantically linked to each other before. When I was young we’d dream of marrying our favourite pop stars, not them marrying each other.

Errrrrm, were they very young?!

Yes, quite. It always used to be the case that gay male popstars would carefully stay quiet about it and sing songs about loving girls, as they knew that a great many amongst their young female fanbase would crush on them, maybe even dream of marrying them one day and could easily lose interest (and stop buying their records) if they knew that he would never, ever love them back romantically!

Apologies, I’ve remembered the story wrongly 🙈 Apparently the rumours were that the baby was fake, and a way of covering up the relationship between Harry and Louis. I’ve found a couple of stories online about it, but I can’t add the links to this post for some reason!

I remember this despite having no interest in One Direction whatsoever. If I recall, they were talking about tipping the baby out of its pram or knocking it out of its mother's arms so they could prove it was a fake. Very disturbing.

Ah, thanks - that seems slightly less crazy, then!!

I find it interesting that three posters so far have come on to defend the Swifties (notorious for not being able to handle even an ounce of negativity towards TS and have to go straight to her rescue!)

Anyway... Taylor Swift 😆

They operate on X and IG, wishing cancer on anyone who has a critical word to say about MM.. at the same time accusing The PoW of faking her own cancer and so it goes on.
They are repellant, clearly reflecting the character and methods of their leader.
They are universally uneducated, American and wholly ignorant about Britain/The Royal Family, and British people.
Never seen anything so loathsome on social media.

Yep they really are awful. There’s one on X who is really awful. Mocked up a pic of Catherine with a black and blue face saying William had beaten her up.
Wishing ill on the children.
If you want to support MM then great - follow her, buy her fruit spreads, go for your life.
But there is no need for such vitriol.
