      Like I said before, “from what I’ve been told,” specifically about the genocide-committing antagonist that is apparently “forgiven” in the end. I haven’t actually personally gotten around to watching it, though the fandom can be really, really aggressive at times so it tends to discourage me too.

          If you’re not generally a fan of animated shows for kids already

          I am, actually. I’ve seen quite a few of them, but early (personal, I might add) negative experiences with the SU fandom put me off a bit and I didn’t get around to actually watching it.

          just like every other fandom

          Some fandoms can be worse overall than others especially when it comes to size and prevalence of their toxic sides.

          I still play 40k sometimes but I accept and admit that for the most part the average 40k experience among strangers is going to be pretty awful compared to, say, Pathfinder.

              I won’t argue with you there. Sometimes I do seriously consider giving up on my Orkz entirely because casual play with strangers more often than not makes this thing make funny sounds hitler-detector

                  Admittedly, very old portrayals of Orkz, that predate when I started playing, had i-am-adolf-hitler uniform and aesthetics. I only found out about that later. I of course reject that entirely and I’ve even refused to play with people that had “vintage” pieces.
