I'm going to make a post about giving opinions because what went down 8 hours ago is a prime example of why people don't like joining fandoms.

There's nothing wrong with liking something, nor is there's nothing wrong with disliking something. It's when you hold your opinion as absolute truth and try to bash others for theirs when things turn sour. If you want to state disagreements, don't insult the person who likes it, insult the media. You'll get alot less heat that way and it doesn't become personal.

For example, if I were to say I can't understand why people like this lazy worthless character who does nothing for her people (Celestia), then you're not attacking the people and the debate can remain civil. You might have disagreements, but that's healthy. When you say someones an idiot for liking something, it becomes more personal and can lead to alot of issues

There are some times however, when opinions can be wrong believe it or not. Like if you were to say that EG is better than Pulp Fiction or say Sonic 06 was a better game than most gave it credit for, your opinion is wrong because there are so many ways you can refute that. However, if you were to say that you liked EG alot and found some parts in Sonic 06 enjoyable, then your statement is still valid and can't really be ripped apart because you gave no one grounds to do so reasonably. It's how you word things; even on the internet wording is important when stating opinions.

People need to realize this. We're not waving the white flag, nor is anyone missing out if they like/dislike EG. Yes, we all can get out of hand sometimes (me included) but the thing is you must know when to stop and calm down for a while. At the end of the day, Hasbro is not responsible for what happens to the fandom. You can pass the blame all you want, but the one who will eventually kill the fandom....is us.
