None bashed or used derogatory terms for characters or members in my thread, this is how this forum works, people are simply intolerant to presence of people with different opinions
I didn’t say it was one-sided. I definitely agree that negativity comes from both sides. But at least we don’t keep dragging history and applying it to Gen 4 characters just to stir things up. That’s where things really spiral. People keep projecting past grudges and then act surprised when it turns into chaos.
Also, people are far more intolerant these days. That’s just how things work now. Not everyone has the patience to keep their wits about them, and it’s easy to get provoked, especially when the same patterns repeat again and again.
And the thing is — what I initially said yesterday still stands. The haters already have numerous threads where they, along with their entire minion army, go on endlessly calling Abhira names, bashing her character, and mocking people who like her. Even if we try to create our own theead, they come barging in and attack us there too. It’s not like Gen 4 fans are hovering around their threads — most of us don’t even bother because we already know what to expect. Then why can’t they extend the same courtesy and spare us one thread? Like the BTS one, for example. Why is that too much to ask? Oh kind souls, grant us just a sliver of peace?
The issue isn’t with people having different opinions — that’s expected and even healthy in a discussion forum. The real problem begins when “different opinions” are consistently laced with passive digs, misrepresentation, and whataboutery. It’s not about being intolerant, it’s about being tired.
People are happy to engage in discussion — but it has to go both ways with mutual respect, not hidden jabs under the garb of “different opinions.”
