User blog comment:BlooKaboom/Does anyone even have their own opinions anymore?/@comment-4742462-20150906042536

From my experiences, you're pretty much only given two options in this fandom: Follow the opinion that's popular, or don't even bother to say anything if your opinion isn't the popular one. I'm also somewhat convinced that this unofficial rule also scares off any potential newcomers that might want to join this show's fanbase.

That's part of the reason why I've lost a lot of interest in the series within the last year. To quote a comment on a journal I read on DA: "Fanbases are what destroy... well... Fanbases".
