Re: Do you think "fandoms" have become more and more toxic?
Fanbases in general are just...the worst, rarely do I run into one that I actually like. Otherwise, everyone just attacks/bash someone else for saying something. Anime: "I like dubs." gets bashed a lot...

@Joeynator3000 This is exactly the kind of thing I am talking about.

Anyways yeah, this site seems to be calm for the most part...We do get a few trolls here and there, though. Just...be careful around the Youtube channel. lol

I think a lot of the problem arises when people refuse to actually have a discussion. The hardcore fandoms need to understand that just because someone is criticising something you like, doesn't mean...

Yeah you do hear the minority speak the loudest. A lot of people fall into that sort of "middle-ground" category. They are indifferent to most things and don't care basically. But in the internet age,...

I think it's because of FANATISM. Love by One Side.

Not really. I think its just as toxic as ever, but more concentrated than it was before the internet.

Fire Emblem is probably the perfect example of this. Franchise nearing death, Awakening and Fates turned the franchise from near dead to one of Nintendo's most popular franchises yet those who liked...

@Ralizah "The internet" was just fine when it was a bunch of tech geeks on BBS, IRC, etc. AOL was always a cesspool of ignorant idiots and bullies. Modern "social media" made the AOL format "the...

It's definitely seems like one of the more apparent trends over the last five or so years (not that everything was sunshine and roses before that). As @Jacob1092 has mentioned, it appears to fall line...

Interestingly enough, I almost brought up the tribalization and group-think that seems to be inundating politics and modern society as a whole in my previous post. I held off because I wasn't sure how...
View ArticleRe: Do you think "fandoms" have become more and more toxic?
I feel like the internet in general got meaner in 2016, or gradually in the years leading up to it. And not just about politics, I mean. People are more stubborn than ever in their assumed universal...

@Joeynator3000 The Switch can't even run a massive game like MHW!
View ArticleRe: Do you think "fandoms" have become more and more toxic?
@Grumblevolcano Honest question, but if its true that millions of people saved FE by buying the new games, how is it that the majority is bashed for their opinion?
View ArticleRe: Do you think "fandoms" have become more and more toxic?
Many fans of certain consoles seem to enjoy bashing the others. The amount of troll comments around the web on Switch articles alone is insane. I'm personally not a huge fan of the Xbox brand for a few...
View ArticleRe: Do you think "fandoms" have become more and more toxic?
@Haru17 I personally see a lot more attacks on the Switch than people defending it, even now. But I am okay with people liking or disliking it. It's the people unilaterally declaring their opinions...
View ArticleRe: Do you think "fandoms" have become more and more toxic?
@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...
