* ''WesternAnimation/{{Metalocalypse}}'': Dethklok is a pop culture phenomenon that not only dominates the music world, but has such a massive fan base they rank as an economic entity on a global scale. Said fanbase takes LoonyFan behavior to a BlackComedy extreme; anyone even mentioning not liking Dethklok where a fan can hear it runs the risk of a horrific death. This includes the Governor Of Florida, who was brutally lynched by an angry mob (which included ''his own daughter''), just because he said that lead singer Nathan Explosion, a Florida native, hadn't earned his own state holiday.

* The cover of the final issue of ''Sensational ComicBook/SheHulk'' showed She-Hulk herself threatening to destroy everyone's ''Comicbook/XMen'' books 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 [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou getting ready to carry out said threat]].

* A cover of an issue of ''ComicBook/SheHulk'' showed She-Hulk herself crumpling up the comic book 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 [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou getting ready to carry out said threat]].

A SubTrope of OpinionMyopia. Compare with SacredCow and UnacceptableTargets, both in which even the slightest bit of criticism will bring heavy derision on you. HePannedItNowHeSucks is when a critic suffers the wrath of this trope. Contrast with {{Fan Hater}}s, which this trope has been known to spawn, and {{Hatedom}}-- if these groups exist for the work in question, they can serve as a VocalMinority, with fans linking everyone who doesn't love the work to the hate-spewing groups. Also an extremely common source of HypeBacklash and ItsPopularNowItSucks - when a work has a notoriously rabid, aggressive, and confrontational fanbase with a penchant for starting fights with anyone who doesn't share their enthusiasm or has any sort of criticism to extend (''especially'' when it's due to a NewbieBoom and the more level-headed older fans butt heads with fanatical new fans), it is easy and understandable for people to develop a blanket hatred for the work.

Even people who simply have a passive disinterest (as opposed to an active dislike) for the show are not immune to the wrath of these fans. This can even happen to people who love the show as much as they do, [[MisaimedFandom but for the wrong reasons]]. A variant on the above are the fans who will heatedly tell you that [[LetsSeeYouDoBetter unless you have written a commercially successful comic/movie/book/etc. of your own]], you are "not qualified" to issue a criticism of any author who has. The gaping logical fallacy here is hopefully self-evident. Of course, many of these selfsame fans will then go on to criticize stories they didn't like, sometimes even in the same breath as the above, when they haven't written anything commercially successful either.
