re: the previous post, I do think that variety of person, who keeps up with a fandom for something they clearly detest, is baffling and annoying. I also however think everyone ultimately calibrates what they consider an appropriate level of dislike for a work. I've definitely gotten weird anons accusing me of not leaving something I clearly can't stand for criticizing a singular aspect of something that I considered in no way a dealbreaker, and I absolutely have quit fandoms or shows before because I wasn't enjoying myself so I do know where my personal line is drawn.
I've also seen people who I would consider deep in the "no longer enjoying fundamental aspects of this work" levels still both remaining in the fandom and complaining that other people who clearly hate the work are in the fandom. This is in fact exactly how I perceive people who seem to both resent the moon plot of Campaign 3 and who also seem to be upset that many people who are enjoying the moon plot do not consider Campaign 3 their favorite but still like it. Anyway I think the point of this is that people are baffling and annoying but you do need to just block people you find to be a source of unpleasant and unhelpful criticism instead of throwing posts in the main tag about all those miserable haters because I've seen people call minor, mild, and humorous criticism "hate" and I've seen people I'd consider to be deeply unhappy insist they're having a marvelous time. It's far too subjective to even attempt to moderate.
