Has Anyone Noticed How Ungodly Toxic Fandom Is Lately? Especially On TikTok. Why Is The TikTok Sonic

Has anyone noticed how ungodly toxic fandom is lately? Especially on TikTok. Why is the TikTok Sonic community becoming the toxic Voltron’s Legendary Defender fan base 2.0.. I literally saw a video shitting on metamy specifically because it wasn’t canon. Like isn’t the whole point of fandom to have fun? Shipping doesn’t need to be logical, it’s supposed to be fun (obviously with boundaries). It’s genuinely disappointing to see a fan base that I love so dearly fighting over simple, cute ships like that. I promise you it is NOT that deep. Looking at the comments was kind of heartbreaking as well because everyone was just shitting on ships that they didn’t like specifically because they weren’t canon or they were being absolute assholes to people who were defending the purpose of fandom itself. Don’t get me wrong, it is COMPLETELY fine to dislike a ship, but if it isn’t hurtful then you really shouldn’t say anything. If you don’t like a ship respect the other persons opinion and move on. It’s not hurting anyone. The freedom to have fun and do what you want is so important and it feels as if people have completely forgotten that is what fandom is about. It’s genuinely so sad to see how far it’s fallen atp I think the only completely non toxic communities I’ve found is the Ori franchise, niche genetics, and the majority of the Brandon Sanderson series. I’m so confused as to where and when fandom fell apart because what the hell is going on. What happened to human empathy? I have so many more examples of toxicity than just this, but literally all of it is from effing TikTok. I think we need to chill.
