* For a very long time, Creator/TimCurry was uncomfortable talking about ''Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow'' due to some fans creeping him out, even claiming he intentionally gained weight as a way of distancing himself from the film. In later years, however, he became more open about talking about being in ''Rocky Horror'' and somewhat embraces the impact it has on teenagers, calling it a "rite of passage".

This trope has nothing to do with [[TheWikiRule the wiki hosting site]] Fandom (formerly Wikia).[[note]]Unless there's a massive fan of that site giving its staff a hard time, who knows?[[/note]]

* Music/TheBeatles stopped touring in 1966. Part of it was the complexity of some post-''Music/{{Revolver|Beatles Album}}'' tracks exceeded what could be performed live by four people. Part of it was boredom with repeatedly playing their (by that point) years-old set. And part of it was that their fans went so crazy whenever the Beatles showed up that they couldn't take it anymore. The Beatles were unable to hear themselves play their own instruments from all the screaming, were trapped in their hotel rooms by mobbing fans whenever they went anywhere, and had to be ferried around in armored cars to prevent being torn apart in the near-rioting that surrounded them. Another factor was the Christian Fundamentalist-driven anti-Beatles hysteria that emerged after Music/JohnLennon's alleged "we're BiggerThanJesus" comments (which was a BeamMeUpScotty [[note]] The actual phrase was "We're ''more popular'' than Jesus", and Lennon was referencing the decline of Christianity, not making a BlasphemousBoast [[/note]]), complete with [[BookBurning record burnings]], boycotts, and picketing of Beatles concerts; these convinced the band that touring the U.S. wasn't worth it, as they'd just have the MoralGuardians dogging them at nearly every leg of the tour. John at this time confessed that his worst fear was [[HarsherInHindsight someone shooting him]]. The last straw was probably an incident at a concert in Memphis where an audience member threw a firecracker on stage. No one was harmed, but for a split second [[HarsherInHindsight everyone thought the loud noise was a gunshot]]. The Beatles performed just five more concerts after that.

* The ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' episode "Terrance and Phillip in Not Without My Anus" received so many angry replies from fans incensed that it aired as an April Fools' joke instead of "Cartman's Mom Is Still a Dirty Slut", the episode that reveals the identity of Cartman's father, that Comedy Central [[MissingEpisode rarely reran it]] until 2016.

* Music/TheBeatles stopped touring in 1966. The complexity of some post-''Music/{{Revolver|Beatles Album}}'' tracks exceeding what could be performed live by four people and a simultaneous boredom with repeatedly playing their (by that point) years-old set was onlypart of it. Another factor was that their fans went so crazy whenever they showed up that they couldn't hear themselves play over the sound of the hysterical shrieking, were trapped in their hotel rooms by mobbing fans whenever they went anywhere, and had to be ferried around in armored cars to prevent being torn apart in the near-rioting that surrounded them.

* Creator/MercedesLackey's ''Literature/DianaTregarde'' books weren't selling too well, and she was getting a lot of flak from certain pagan/Wiccan groups, so she stopped writing them. Cue the conspiracy theory people with bizarre speculations, such as believing that ''the Guardians were real''.

* The production crew for ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' ignore legitimate complaints of SeasonalRot thanks to picky fans that used to frequent alt.tv.simpsons and nitpick episodes that were ''actually'' good.[[note]]The line "[[WorstWhateverEver Worst episode ever]]" originated from a review of a Season 4 episode; in modern times, Season 4 is considered by most fans to be the beginning ''and'' the peak of the show's "golden age".[[/note]]

* When Music/{{Weezer}}'s sophomore album ''Music/{{Pinkerton}}'' was negatively received, the band went in a LighterAndSofter direction for their [[Music/WeezerTheGreenAlbum next album]], only for ''Pinkerton'' to develop a cult following. Despite this, the band refused to make a proper follow-up to ''Pinkerton'' and relagated the album to only a song or two during live shows for years due to frontman Rivers Cuomo being traumatized by the initial negative reception and poor sales of the album.

** Eminem, the artist so known for FanDumb that he coined the ubiquitous slang word for a LoonyFan, has lived his whole career in fear of his own fandom, becoming a ReclusiveArtist due to fan harassment being so extreme that he can't even leave his house. His songs document fans hammering on his door all night, harassing him while taking a shit, and how it's impossible for him to go to the store any more. He was terrified one of his fans would actually try to kill him -- which did eventually happen in 2020, during the COVID-19 lockdown. He's stated that his fame makes it impossible for him to have relationships with women, because they fall in love with his public persona and not the real him. Eventually, he stopped writing about his personal life in his music, because doing so opened up his friends and family to harassment. While he's much happier now, much of Eminem's fandom hold that his reclusive lifestyle has prevented him from being able to write the kind of exposed, personal songs that made his early work so fascinating, leading to his later material feeling at times like a stylistic bravura exercise.

* Creator/GregWeisman, creator of ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan'', ran a blog called "[[http://s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/ Ask Greg]]" for years with little to no incident. Fan could ask questions about the kinds of details that never make it into shows (like "What are Gargoyle marriage customs like?"). When he began work on ''WesternAnimation/{{Young Justice|2010}}'', the blog was positively deluged by questions blatantly asking for spoilers from upcoming stories, questioners being incredibly rude or demanding, masking criticisms or flames as questions, duplicate questions, etc. This led to a temporary closing of the question form and new rules on what could be asked. Things calmed down, but [[ShortRunInPeru the March 2012 airing of episodes in Turkey before the U.S.]] led to an influx of questions asking for summaries of the dialogue in those episodes. In April 2012, Weisman openly stated he was [[http://s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/search.php?rid=946 on the verge]] of shutting the blog down completely. In July 2013, the website temporarily stopped accepting new questions until the following year. By September of 2021, he emptied the queue only for it to fill back up to over two thousand questions again very quickly, and he would make an effort to answer at least five questions a day. But in October 2022, [[https://www.s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/search.php?rid=1244 he stepped away again for an indefinite amount of time]] as many Young Justice questions continued to demand spoilers, ask for answers that were blatantly presented on screen, ascribe motives for his creative decisions, and demand he acknowledge his show suck.

* Music/RingoStarr publicly refuses to sign autographs anymore because a lot of people have sold his autographs on Website/EBay for huge prices.[[note]]Several others have the same policy, but Starr is the only one who has made a video about it.[[/note]] Music/RogerWaters has also publicly lashed out at these "autograph collectors," though he still signs from time to time. [[Music/KingCrimson Robert Fripp]] instituted a similar policy for the same reasons.

** ''VideoGame/MyLittlePonyFightingIsMagic'' was shut down because someone nominated it for a side-tournament at EVO, the biggest fighting game tournament in the world. Games for side tournaments at EVO are determined by a popularity poll, so people began to vote for ''Fighting is Magic''. Both EVO staff and the game's developers asked the voters to stop nominating it; the EVO crew didn't want the devs to feel pressured to complete the game, while the devs urged fans to show support for ''VideoGame/{{Skullgirls}}'' instead. In spite of this, the fans kept voting for it. Unfortunately, this caught Hasbro's attention in a way that couldn't be [[LoopholeAbuse openly]] overlooked like with other fan projects. Hasbro had to respond with a [[ScrewedByTheLawyers cease and desist]] letter in order to protect their copyrights, and just like that, the entire project went up in smoke. It would eventually be resurrected and retooled as the original game ''VideoGame/ThemsFightinHerds'' years later, but getting there required some very brazen moves on the fandom's part.

* Music/GodspeedYouBlackEmperor's demo tape ''All Lights Fucked on the Hairy Amp Drooling'' is perhaps the holy grail of indie fans. The band hates it, [[BuryYourArt so it will never be reissued]], and was limited to 33 copies, so the chances of a copy surfacing are naturally highly unlikely. And yet, in 2013, one did surface. The person who had it surfaced on {{Website/Reddit}} and was ready to rip it and distribute it. Two songs were posted and confirmed to be genuine. And then people drove him off by being assholes, to the point where he deleted his account. The remaining songs wouldn't resurface until almost a decade later.

** Writer and storyboarder Jesse Zuke (formerly Lauren Zuke prior to coming out as non-binary) had to delete their Twitter account following an episode that showed two characters, Lapis and Peridot, living together. Fans said that Zuke was favoring a relationship between the two, as opposed to the Amethyst and Peridot pairing that was [[HoYay supposedly hinted at]] in a previous episode (an interaction between them had appeared to fans [[HomoeroticSubtext to contain "sexual tension"]]). Eventually, it escalated to fans accusing Zuke of "[[https://fanlore.org/wiki/Queerbaiting queer baiting]]", despite the fact that Zuke's bisexual and the relationship as it appeared in the show was between two female characters anyway. Zuke then deleted their Twitter account, saying, "I decided I don't want to be accessible to thousands of people who think because I work on a TV show that I owe them myself all the time." The entire incident also resulted in Peridot's [[CharacterBlog Twitter account]] posting far less frequently, since Zuke was the one running it.

* Creator/StephenieMeyer had been planning a book called ''Literature/MidnightSun2020'', which was a re-telling of ''[[Literature/Twilight2005 Twilight]]'' from Edward's perspective. She even posted the first chapter on her website, to whet fans' appetites. Then a half-finished manuscript appeared on the Internet, posted by someone she'd trusted enough to give a copy to. Meyer was so upset that she stated that the book was now "on hold indefinitely," because if she wrote it in [[CreatorBreakdown her (then-)current state of mind]], [[TheBadGuyWins the evil vampire]] [[TemporalParadox would succeed]]. After further delays caused by the publication of ''[[Literature/FiftyShadesOfGrey Grey: Fifty Shades of Grey as Told by Christian]]'', the book would ultimately be released in August 2020.

* In 2015, CBS and Paramount gave a lawsuit towards the creators of ''WebVideo/PreludeToAxanar'' when it was revealed that the creators were actually ''profiting'' from the ''Star Trek'' name in the process of making the follow-up movie ''Star Trek: Axanar''. The shoddy defense at first was "they didn't know what they were doing was wrong...because we had no Guidelines" [[NiceJobBreakingItHero So CBS and Paramount set up specific guidelines for making fan movies]], effectively and permanently killing fan continuations and feature-length movies, and ending a decades long silent Gentleman's Agreement between CBS and fan-films. The guidelines state that all creators, actors and all other participants must genuinely and deliberately consist only of amateurs, can't be compensated for their services, and can't be currently and/or previously employed in any ''Star Trek'' media or any of CBS nor Paramount Pictures’ licensees. Crowdfunding is allowed... but it has a hard cap of $50000. The fan-films must also be up to 15 minutes long or in two parts that, when combined, cannot go beyond half an hour, with no follow-ups or remakes whatsoever, [[SubvertedTrope even if]] ''Star Trek'' [[DivorcedInstallment is removed in the follow up or remake]] [[LoopholeAbuse to try and cheat that rule]]. One known casualty is ''WebVideo/StarTrekRenegades'', which ended up stripping itself of all of its ''Star Trek'' connections and going fully original.

* 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 that [=McGill=] faced to be the reason why she did not come back to reprise Lynn for the movie's spin-off series, ''Series/{{The Really Loud House}}''.

* At one point, Creator/TressMacNeille had to cancel several convention appearances because of stalkers who were obsessed with the characters from ''WesternAnimation/{{Tiny Toon Adventures}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}''. These stalkers had sent her disturbing letters of the shows' characters being sexually assaulted, giving [=MacNeille=] the impression that she was in danger. One of the men accused of being responsible for this was Dennis Falk, a member of the furry fandom who had written various pornographic fanfictions involving the ''Tiny Toons'' characters. The special "Tiny Toons' Night Ghoulery" was released, with one segment depicting "the world's most terrifying creature as [[StrawFan an overweight, pathetic, obsessive, mumbling loser]] who talked about various flaws in the visuals and wondered aloud when Fifi La Fume would get her own show. This character was a caricature of these stalkers and their behavior. A segment from an episode of ''Animaniacs'' titled "Please Please Please Get a Life Foundation", featured a similar character who spent most of his time on the computer in a room full of ''Tiny Toon Adventures'' and ''Animaniacs'' merchandise.
