Episode 4: The Toxic Fandom. The internet is plagued by fandom toxicity. Where does it come from? Why do older people hate new content? It isn't as hard to believe as you may think. Also, we discuss Xbox price hikes for Christmas, Polygon sold, GTA VI pushed back, and Spotify cashes in on judgment against Apple.

Fandom can bring people together—but what happens when admiration for a celebrity turns into obsession? In this episode of In the Wild, we sit down with AU alum and content creator Cindy Noir to explore the intense world of celebrity super fandoms.We unpack the psychological and social forces that drive some fans to engage in online bullying, doxxing, and even criminal behavior—all in the name of their favorite stars. From the rise of stan culture to the real-world consequences of extreme devotion, this episode dives deep into the blurred lines between healthy admiration and harmful fanaticism, and what it means for society today.Learn more about Cindy Noir: https://www.thecindynoir.com

What a CreepSeason 27, Episode 7The Disappointment of Gen-X MenBorn between 1965 and 1980, Gen X is often referred to as the “forgotten generation.” They were raised on MTV, punk rock, hiphop, the Cold War, afterschool specials, latchkey childhoods, and a healthy dose of cynicism. They gave us grunge music, independent films, mix-tape culture, and some of the best pop culture of the late 20th century. But along with all that coolness came a hefty dose of entitlement, misogyny, and resistance to change—especially when it came to gender equality.Today, we're going to break it all down: the mix-tape mentality, toxic fandom, the fetishization of the “manic pixie dream girl,” the anti-hippie ethos, and how these dynamics played out with public figures like JD Vance,  Dave Grohl, Chris Rock, Joe Rogan, and even Kurt Cobain.Sources for this episode:Yahoo.comNew York TimesCompact MagazineWikipedia Gen XPure WowToronto Star Jian GhomeshiDaily Beast“Nice Guys and Wife Guys” “Toxic Fandom”“Pick-Me Girls & Cool Girls”Our noncreep is Seuk Kim, a pilot who flew rescue dogs all over the country.

Some weeks back our Discord channel erupted in a lively discussion over a recent article from Variety titled Toxic Fandom: How Hollywood Is Battling Fans Who Are ‘Just Out for Blood'. In it, journalist Adam B. Vary reports about the effects toxic fandom is having on the personal lives of actors and how studios are combating it from hiring security firms to focus grouping diehard fans. The article inspired us to explore the topic more deeply in a Side Notes episode. This was an inspiring and enlightening conversation, and I hope you all get as much out of it as we did. Back next week with another movie fix, see you then!

In this new side quest, we sample three different Witcher-themed teas from Geek Grind Coffee, offering our opinions on each of them while considering if they actually reflect the character they were inspired by. (A Yennefer tea with no lilac or gooseberries? What is this craziness?!?) We also wade into some of the juiciest Witcher gossip to hit over the past few years, offering our sassiest thoughts on all of it. Beau DeMayo! Toxic fans! Possible reasons why Henry Cavill is no longer on the show! (It strayed too much from the source material? Give us a break!)

Split a donation between Ruben Gallego (AZ), Elissa Slotkin (MI), Jon Tester (MT), Jacky Rosen (NV), Sherrod Brown (OH), Bob Casey Jr. (PA), Tammy Baldwin (WI) at Swing Left.  Are the most prominent voices amongst toxic fandom figures just out for blood? Some in Hollywood think so. Should there be limits on how much production companies are relying on fan input/focus groups? Has fandom toxicity gotten worse over the years due to the internet and social media? We think so. The slippery slope of fans thinking they know better than creators, and burning those creators when they don't match fan visions.

Music artists are cancelling gigs to protect their mental health but what do they owe their fans?American singer Chappell Roan pulled out of two appearances at short notice - not for the first time - saying she needed a few days to prioritise her health. Earlier in the summer, she called out fans' “creepy behaviour” and said abuse and harassment of famous people shouldn't be normalised. Her critics say she's ungrateful and her cancellations cost fans money. But supporters argue she represents a new generation of artists who are no longer willing to put up with the industry's damaging demands. How has Chappell Roan's relationship with fans evolved as her career has taken off? How have radical changes to the music industry's business model affected demands on artists?

This week on Name 3 Songs… ⚡ ️Fangirl Nonsense: Quarters of Change dropped their new album! The 66th annual Grammy Awards took place this week. We're talking about the biggest wins and snubs and the moments that had us giggling.  ⚡  As of February 1, 2024, Universal Music Group (home to Taylor Swift, Bad Bunny, Noah Kahan, and many more) has pulled their music from TikTok, citing that the app will not meet their asks for better pay for artists, protection against AI content, and safety for fans. We discuss the ramifications this has on all levels of the music industry and if UMG will bring their music back to TikTok. We also the ways major labels have forced up and coming artists to using the platforms for vitality and growth, just for their music to be removed. ⚡ Nicki Minaj claps back at Megan the Stallion with diss track “Big Foot '' after Megan's song “Hiss” seemingly referenced Nicki's husband. We look at Nicki's history of celebrity feuds and the way Nicki and the Barbz have a symbiotic relationship of protecting each other, even if it's at the cost of another person's safety.

[Explicit Language] Nerd alert! I invited my friends Travis Bone from the Stephanie Miller Show, funk legend Freekbass, and Rick Shew from the Friends From Work podcast to talk about toxic fandom. It's especially appropriate with the big news from DC Studios about its rebooted universe. We'll talk a little about that first, and then get into the main topic – what causes toxic fandom online, who's behind it, and how we can best deal with it. And yes, there's definitely overlap with politics on social media and elsewhere. So stick around for this episode.
