* The Las Vegas Raiders and San Francisco [=49ers=] used to play one another every preseason, in an annual "Battle of the Bay" game because the Raiders were once stationed in Oakland. This lasted until the 2011 meeting, which saw multiple brawls between the teams' fans, including a brutal beating of one fan in a restroom that sent them to the hospital. This led to the NFL officially discontinuing all future preseason games between the two teams.

** ''Bionicle'' set designers at times considered joining Website/BZPower's forums (where Farshtey himself used to post), but decided against it, not wanting to expose themselves to fan hate whenever a new line of sets was revealed. However set/piece designers did freely visit other boards where they didn't have to worry about a backlash. Around the early 2010s this issue became moot, due to LEGO's policies employees can only post on sites that have strict age restrictions, leaving BZP out of the question.

* Morgan [=McGill=], an actress who played Lynn Loud Jr. in ''Film/{{A Loud House Christmas}}'', experienced harassment on the internet from several fans of [[WesternAnimation/{{The Loud House}} the series it was based upon]], being criticized for not looking entirely like the character. These people made insults and jokes targeted at [=McGill's=] appearance and acting skills, threatened to ruin her social media presence, and stated she should've never been chosen for the role of Lynn to begin with. They had also said that [=McGill=] had a large forehead, looked and acted too feminine to portray the tomboyish Lynn, and initially thought she was an adult woman playing the character. They also claimed [=McGill=] was not a real athlete, which was later proven false by her mother. In particular, one fan accused her of being racist and homophobic, and even sent obscene artwork of Lynn to [=McGill=], who was 13 years old at the time. They had additionally started a petition and attempted to contact Nickelodeon to get [=McGill=] kicked off the movie before it released. Some have speculated the bullying [=McGill=] faced was the reason why she did not come back to reprise Lynn for the movie's spin-off series, ''Series/{{The Really Loud House}}''.
