Comment volume ranks all 138 fanbases by total classified comments; raw counts carry no volume floor. Fan Score is positive comments per 1,000 analyzed. Toxicity counts harm and identity-based abuse per 1,000; every other rate counts that tag group's comments per 1,000, using Sence's system-tag taxonomy.

The quadrant

Winning vs. loving it

Every fanbase, plotted by how much its team won against how its comment section actually felt.
