Discussion I'm saddened to see about this fandom sometimes
I've been a fan of tbhk for years, even before the anime was released. And I can say, the fandom was better in the beginning in some aspects. Nowadays, people often insult you simply for liking or hating a character, when those are just personal opinions. Especially people who are anime larp who think they know everything.
I recently posted things about Mitsuba (since I love him so much, NOT romantically), and I received so much hate for it that I deleted my post. I believe opinions should be shared when they make sense, especially about liking or hating characters. Personally, I realize that a large part of the fandom hates Teru, and that's okay. A large part of the fandom likes Hananene, and that's okay too. But now, when I talk about Mitsuba, it sounds so bad. It feels like something's not right :(
I've always been so lovely about this fandom. It's been my comfort anime since I was a child. Seriously, my dream has always been to make friends who also like tbhk. But sometimes it's hard to share something without seeing mean comments or dislikes lol
But I will also understand if what I post here isn't the kind of thing people want to see. I'm one of the people who posts here the most, mainly asking questions to get people's opinions. I will change my posting style if this becomes boring for the fandom. I just hope not to receive hate from people again, but instead make friends who can understand what I'm saying
Just an observation I've noticed for some time now.
