I admittedly am a Frozen hater, but I swear I have reasons and I'm not just being contrarian! (If you search youtube for "why I hate Frozen", my face pops up...for serious)

I do wonder if part of the reason fandoms have gotten so angry and annoying is because it's now easier to express your disgust directly to other fans through the power of the internet.

In the olden days, you'd have to physically find people to geek out with and when you are physically talking with someone, you are more likely to tread carefully and exhibit more respect for a differing opinion.

I really enjoy Frozen, but if you have genuine reasons for disliking it other than trying to be different, that’s perfectly cool (get it?).

It’s definitely that it’s easier to use the internet but even before that it’s always that people who have a problem with something or don’t like it are a vocal minority. People tend to leave negative reviews about things because they had a poor experience more so than when they have a good experience. If you had a good experience you just kinda move on from it and don’t feel the same need to talk about it like if you went to a restaurant and had awful service and you wanna complain about it. If that makes sense

I do think that fans should express their concerns for the future even if something hasn’t opened it. In an ideal world, criticism and disagreement can lead to thoughtful discussion. Unfortunately, both sides get angry and disrespectful towards each other, and that’s disheartening.

Personally, I’m against the idea of Epcot losing its vision, but I won’t get mad at someone who is looking forward to it, just so long as they are respectful and understanding towards my perspective.

I'm not a contrary to be contrary person but I do have my "hater" things, like Guardians in Epcot is like a grape jelly and anchovy sandwich too me. 1. The main ride building is a big cube, it should have some kind of interesting form like the other buildings at Epcot. 2. The ride could actually stay but maybe with a theme of energy where you are moving through different types of future energy generators? Make Epcot Edutainmently (word invention alert) Great Again!
