@Tyranexx Those are some interesting points. For me I started with FE7, then went to Sacred Stones and finally Awakening. I personally, am not a fan of the series, but I can see why some people might...

@Tyranexx FE has some serious issues between it's hardcore fans and the casual fans to be sure. It makes people like me, who like the series overall fall on deaf ears. I have played since it came to...

As a Sonic/Nintendo/Doctor Who/Mega Man/Pokemon/Most Things fan, I've learned that you just need to be confident that you like what you like. It's hard though, not feeling down when everyone else is...

Toxicity in a fandom is a two-way sword. In one way, it promotes longevity as long as there's people talking in it. The other, well it'll drive people out. It's pretty situational.

Fandoms were always like this. It's just easier to become aware of the ugly parts now.

I don't believe that this is anything new, just that it's more noticeable in this day and age due to the ease of online access.

It's always been around, it's just been second nature now.

I don't believe anyone thinks this is a completely new addition to the human psyche (i.e. people weren't tribal before for internet), only that the changing online landscape has made it more visible,...

I would describe myself, and have been called it on here, as a blind fan. To which I feel I am in the right place, this is a fan site and should therefore cater for people like me. Why should I not...

I don't know. Maybe the very nature of fandoms is not that healthy. I mean there is no need to create a fandom to enjoy something. I am very opinionated about the things I like (for example I actually...

Don't share opinions on the internet if you're not prepared for people to challenge them. And it's up to you to ignore those who do so in a manner that are just trying to get a rise out of you.

I'm a bit late to the party but I just wanted to say (regarding the OP) that your first mistake was thinking you can have calm discussions on social media at all.

@gcunit I would hope a mod knows the difference between "challenging an opinion" and being toxic to somebody. Just saying.
View ArticleRe: Do you think "fandoms" have become more and more toxic?
To tell the truth people just become toxic on the internet. It's the mask of anonymity. The gaming community is one of the most toxic breeds there is.
