What group of fans would you rather have angry at you out of these scenarios?

Assume that you have the same amount of money in each one:

Sports fans blaming you for causing their team to lose a huge game. For some context, the Steve Bartman incident in baseball is what I'm thinking of here. There's a documentary on it and the aftermath. Long story short, the Chicago Cubs World Series drought is kind of a legendary one in sports (it ended in 2016 though), in 2003 they were on the cusp of making it when a fan interfered with a catchable ball. For whatever reason, he became the guy Cubs fans blamed for losing the game and the next game after.

Star Wars fans. In this scenario, you're Kelly Marie Tran who had to delete her social media due to the backlash.

Video game nerds, the Gamergate thing and you're Zoey Quinn.

D&D following Season 8 of Game of Thrones.

I'll go with D&D since I get to write a Star Wars movie afterwards

Ooh, tough one between sports fans and gators.

There have been straight up riots over sports though right? An angry physical mob would be more of a problem than an angry twitter mob.

Wait I was picking the worst one, the best one is easily the Star Wars harassers cause I'm not a woman

GOT fans since within a few months most will have moved the fuck on to whatever else is the latest thing. The rest are sick in the head.

Not taking anything way from the other scenarios whatsoever, but the Bartman scenario is the worst since he was what should have been an anonymous person that has his life ruined for no reason.

i would take the sports fan, they have the memory span of a goldfish, and moving a bit would be enough to avoid most of them.the others are kind of a global plague.
