Can Fandoms Ruin Video Games? | Toxic Fandom Video Essay: Undertale, Kingdom Hearts, SMT, Dark Souls

Can Fandoms Ruin a Video Game? Well today, let's explore toxic fandoms like Undertale, Kingdom Hearts, Dark Souls, and so many more. Fandoms of course aren't all bad, but ever since the start of fandoms with Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories, they've been a double edged sword. On the one hand, they can lift up independent creators like Toby Fox who made Undertale. But on the other hand, the Kingdom Hearts Fandom Ruin someone's day on Twitter and the Shin Megami Tensei IGN review can be wrecked by a rowdy fanbase. This video essay has it all, so buckle in!
