A fanbase is the perfect target for the socially maladapted and narcissists. Its just a group of people that like a thing so liking the thing the most makes you have more social power in the group. As the fanbase grows larger more of these people show up creating content for the other fans (art, community projects, memes, etc). And the more shit that gets created the more the focus of the fanbase goes from the actual subject and instead changes to be about who the top dogs of the fanbase are.
