If you're trying to argue that certain people can ruin certain fandoms because of the experience of what sOcIeTy thinks and/or feels, then I have to point out that it's a fallacy to claim so as it points the finger in the wrong direction.
For example, when someone in the sonic fandom sexually harasses someone, then does that actually directly change current Sonic, the current Sonic shows, and the current Sonic games? It doesn't.
Does it make the whole fandom be about sexual harassment? It doesn't either.
Does it even make it part of the definition of the fandom? Well if I'm thinking correctly on the definition of fandom and for sonic, I don't think so.
Remember, a person's personal life outside of the current sonic franchise are not automatically part of sonic as there is a different between behavior, and the person that does it, and yet there is a difference between both than anything that isn't about any of the two.
Otherwise, many things are ruined. If so, then I guess that would mean for example the person who killed his/her mate with a pizza has ruined Italian food. But in reality, he/she just ruined that pizza slice, and his/her mate.
