The worst kind of take.

"Why are you mad? You claim to be a Star Wars fan! You should be happy that you're getting more Star Wars! Shut up and be happy that you're getting more of the thing you claim to love!"
If I said that to DC fans who hate Teen Titans Go -- if I said that to Star Trek fans who hate Star Trek: Nemesis -- if I said that to WoW fans who hate the decaying storyline: I would be eviscerated.
Fans aren't fans because they love everything about the thing they're a fan of; they're fans because they're passionate about it. Passion can encompass enjoyment, but it can also be a part of dislike. You can be a fan of steak, but if someone dry-aged it in pig shit you have no obligation to settle for eating it just because it's still technically a steak.
If you're a fan, you don't need to settle for mid or bad. And you shouldn't be attacked for voicing your dislike of it.

I barley like the titans cartoon so I lothed the go one.
O have nothing to say about wow as I am not a big player. Let's talk suikoden.
Also with star wars it has barley been worth watching any of it. Yes the acolyte sucked. The only good star wars movie imo is rouge one. Solo was decent.
Normally it used to be when someone does that shit they were fired on the spot. Not anymore, now and days they're praised and celebrated for attacking the fans and customers and no one is allowed to critique or tell them otherwise.
I don't know how or where or even when this type of behavior all of a sudden became normalizer and such. Because now the jackasses who have no business or skills or even desire to make products of popular IPs are allowed to shit as much as they want in making utter crap products, attack and even demonize the entire fan base call them every name in the book, brag that its canon and people are to accept it, and no one is allowed to critique them and their bosses don't have the balls or even spine to punish them or fire them for their actions, going as far as to support and stand up for them.
Seriously how did things get that way and is there anyway to turn it back around?
In my case, I can't be a toxic fan, because I'm not a fan of so many franchises any more.
I have become a potential customer that has to be convinced to buy every single product.
A sceptical potential customer.
