In this week’s episode, we dive into the world of anti-fans, gossip forums & snark Reddit. If you’ve listened to our podcast for a while, you’ll know we’ve covered fandom culture from a few different angles, so this week we’re bringing you the flip side of this conversation– exploring the anti-fans and snarkers who spend their time criticising, dissecting, and sometimes bullying influencers and celebrities in online forums. We first cover what a gossip forum & snark Reddit is, how it relates to the more commonly-known hate-watching or hate-following, the psychology behind these behaviours, and then look at some examples of when they’ve had a positive impact but also times these forums have gone too far.
