* This was a common reaction among hardcore ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' fans when ''[[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagicaTheMovieRebellion Rebellion]]'' was considered for a nomination at [[Main/AcademyAward The Oscars]] for [[UsefulNotes/AcademyAwardforBestAnimatedFeature Best Animated Feature]] ,but [[Main/WhatCouldHaveBeen didn't make the cut]]. To the point where they started spreading rumors that it didn't get nominated that they flat out refuse to see it because of the Main/AnimationAgeGhetto. [[http://entertainment.howstuffworks.com/oscar3.htm Despite the fact that it's not how the Oscars work]] and there would be a huge controversy if the Academy refused to watch ''any'' movie.

* Some people don't react well when they hear Jerry Seinfeld (both the actor and the character) proudly say he's never seen a single episode of ''Series/ILoveLucy''.

* Lampshaded with Yamaguchi from ''Manga/CromartieHighSchool''. He has thought of himself saying that [[ShowWithinAShow Pootan]] (to him) is stupid.

* In ''WebAnimation/TurnaboutStorm'', [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Rainbow Dash]] gets quite upset at [[VisualNovel/AceAttorney Phoenix Wright]] for not knowing who the Wonderbolts (a group of pegasi acrobats which Dash is a huge fan of) are. Nevermind Phoenix has barely spent one hour [[TrappedInAnotherWorld trapped in Equestria]].

Now you're faced with a host of angry replies from fans, demanding that you [[DontLikeDontRead stop talking about the show if you didn't like it]], after they insult your sexuality, mental capabilities, and other such things. This massive bitching is justified in ''some'' communities: if you don't think show X has any redeeming qualities, why would you post on the Official Fan Forum, ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontLike? But even that can go too far, and this could happen to you on your own private forum.

[[NoRealLifeExamplesPlease Only in-universe examples here please]]. Adding real life examples can tend to devolve into ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontLike, and the irony tends to make us kind of dizzy. Not to mention the PotHoling to the this page...

* During his stand-up tour of UsefulNotes/NewZealand, BillyConnolly shared an anecdote about how he saw a group of New Zealanders attack a fellow countryman. On asking why they did it, one replied: "He hasn't seen ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'' yet."

* In ''WebComic/SabrinaOnline'', Sheila does this when Sabrina gives a lukewarm review of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''.
* On ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'', the Griffin family tears Peter a new one after he announces that he didn't care for ''Film/TheGodfather''. It's based on the typical reaction to SethMacFarlane saying the same.
* In ''ICarly'', Freddie saying he doesn't think {{Fred}} is that funny results in him [[DisproportionateRetribution losing every friendship he has and being ostracised from every club, his family calls up to abuse him, and in the end is beaten up by Sam with a tennis racquet and forced to directly apologize to Fred]].
** To be fair though, his comments did cause Fred to stop putting up new videos...
*** [[spoiler: Except Fred did this as a publicity stunt to gain more views when he eventually came back. He claimed it would help iCarly too, but he ''didn't even tell them the plan'' (at least then Freddie would have had Sam and Carly on his side) until after Freddie was beaten with said racquet. So he actually [[InvokedTrope weaponized this trope]] to gain more popularity than ever.]]
* In ''Series/{{Community}}'', Jeff makes a passing reference to not liking the band TheBarenakedLadies and is immediately attacked by the entire study group.
** In another episode Abed boycotts a restaurant because one of the waiters hates ''Film/DieHard''.
* One cover of SheHulk comic books included She-Hulk herself crumpling up the comicbook and threatening to beat the crap out of everyone for not reading her series.
** It actually serves as a BrickJoke: In the first issue she issues out the threat to the fans, since her previous title was cancelled because of low sales. The final issue, indeed cancelled because of low sales, has her getting ready to carry out said threat.

* WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic got physically assaulted by celebrity guest stars for criticizing ''{{Ponyo}}'' (even though he started by saying that he liked it), and a crowd of Anime fans for not liking ''Anime/HowlsMovingCastle''.
