We deserve the crown. In all honesty, there's no single person, group, website, or community that speaks for every single person alive who likes Steven Universe. Steven Universe doesn't have the worst fandom because there is no worst fandom. Fandoms are loose, massive collectives of people with overlapping interests who have no inherent organization or oversight. Fandoms aren't individual entities that can be held accountable for actions, human beings are. Saying Steven Universe is the worst fandom because some crazy cyber-bullies like Steven Universe is like saying humans are the worst species because some commit murder. Even the shows creators "stepping in" means nothing, because aside from legal control over their creative properties, even they have no authority over what people in the fandom say or do. I'm not saying we shouldn't speak out against this stuff, but call a spade a spade. Cyber-bullying didn't start or end with fans of Steven Universe.
