I just felt like starting a thread and I've been wondering about this question for a while now. It doesn't matter if they're from the internet or real life, just name them. Could be fans of movies, TV series, comics books, video games, sports, etc.
By the way, I didn't started this thread without a reason, it made me wonder because recently, I was invited to play some video games with a couple of cousins, both old school and modern. When we got to play the PS4, we started playing the latest DBZ game (I bet some of you know already know where this is going). I haven't been in touch with the show since forever, because I began to dislike it as I matured and realized how silly it was. So we put in the game and I start seeing these new characters and concepts that are just silly, even for DBZ standards (like a talking purple cat and a Super Saiyan God thing, etc.). I then made a statement that DBZ has officially become a cash-cow franchise, that it doesn't matter what happens in the show, fans are going to blindly support it. My cousin then just flipped out on me! Saying, "it's being done to keep the franchise alive," I then say, "that can still be done, but why not in a different direction? Instead of continuing the canon storyline, why not do a spin-off or a reboot?" He says. "it's not necessary because DBZ is still the best anime, otherwise it would have lost it's popularity a long time ago." I then just stayed quiet and tried to enjoy the game, but you get what I'm saying everyone.
I don't have a problem with adults being childish to something they like, I have a problem with their attitudes and I want to know some fan communities that are just brats.
