Its like a tv show where the second season had a finale that tied up the show nicely for it to end, but then season 3 started saying there is a new bad guy thats even worse than the last one, and it just keeps happening.
you're saying that many people hate fandoms because they're afraid to like them and be on the "wrong side"
how do you know?
While i personally dont think the second half is true I do believe people hate things for being popular, and that may be half of the reason people hate fandoms.
The other half of the reason is that people don't want to be associated with said fandom because that fandom is known for its loud people.
Even if the product is actually good or really not bad at all the loud part of the fandom ruins it and makes people hate said product.
Thats where a lot of hate comes from.
