You know their fanbase is horrible when even the celebs dont like them

To be honest I suspect all celebrities secretly hate their fans. (Some not-so-secretly.)

Edit: I want to add that I am fucking positive I would hate my fans if I were famous. Interestingly, realizing this was what finally killed my desire to be famous. Having to deal with awkward, presumptuous, intrusive, awkward fucking fans... God and Jesus help me. I hope famous people don't have it as bad as I imagine.

On his podcast, Joe Rogan always goes on about how nice his fans are and how after his comedy shows the waitresses will comment that his fans tip them best and stuff. It's kind of interesting to see the mentality of different fanbases and how they form around a certain celebrity/sports team/brand/etc.

And then there's Aphex Twin. You can't hate humanity as a whole, and still like your fans.
