Why The Chicago Fire Fandom Is The Worst In The Chicago Franchise

While choosing who lives or who dies on a television show is at the writers and producers' discretion, often fans are not pleased when something bad happens to their favs — even though it's, of course, all made up.

Having an extremely passionate fanbase can be a double-edged sword: While they're reliable to tune into your show, they can also turn on the show's writers or even actors just as quickly. Per one reddit user, "Chicago Fire" has one such fan base — and they believe it is the most toxic out of the "One Chicago" universe.

"I'm talking about the fandom in general, not every single individual but the negativity is off the charts. Other fandoms don't take their shows too seriously. They know it's just a show; they know that overused tropes are going to be thrown in and there's going to be repetition. Small errors are laughed about or not spoken about at all. They have fun with their show," the redditor wrote. "Not so with 'Fire.' People are sending death threats to an actress for doing her job. 'Fans' nitpick the smallest errors and act like it's a personal attack on them from the writers."

While it can be frustrating when a show lets you down, the best solution, as some might say, is to start your own show. For all anyone knows, the next Dick Wolf very well could be a burned "Chicago Fire" fan.
