It's just in-general, many members of the anime forums seem to have a thing for straight up attacking a person, on a personal level, when they don't agree with them. I've seen The Great Butler for example and several others get bashed for not thinking the way other people do, you're free to not think like everyone else so actually attacking someone for what they say is just childish. The Haunter, Fonz, Charmed and Nymphia are recent members who have actually bashed me because I debated against them instead of having a discussion in good faith about the matter. All because they absolutely refuse to accept the fact that that's the way ratings work when I was discussing it in that thread made recently, The Fonz is also infamous for going after me simply because I criticized Ash and said he can take a loss against a Gym Leader. >_> Ugh, the childishness is cancerous to a heavy degree, considering going Tumblr mainly for in-depth Pokemon discussions. At least the people on there can carry a discussion in-good faith without needless name-calling. Then again, I've had obsessive Dawn fans threaten me because I said I found her personality to be meh.
I think I've carried more engaging and friendly discussions with Platinum Fan. since he/she started watching the anime than I have with any of that bunch in these years I've been on this site.
