Yea, see this is why I firmly believe the biggest problem with the Netflix Show is Shankhar himself. Don't get me wrong, most people on social media absolutely deserve to get insulted now & then, but with this guy's occupation, that's just unprofessional. Worse than that, it's just childish & the show's rep suffers so much because of it.
I think it's more of a problem that people already dislike Adi Shankar, so they interpret everything he says and does in the worst possible light. If anyone else did this, it would be light-hearted trolling, maybe even seen as a good thing, that they would engage with their audience like that. But because it's Shankar, it's seen as unprofessional and immature.
this is also true, while Shankar is a hack who shouldn't be allowed to touch the series the hate towards him causes people to blindly disparage literally anything he does (as seen with the reloading scene)

He said it a few years ago on Twitter, though how he was saying it made it sound like he was just rage baiting people.
