From my personal experience, the least toxic fandom are always the small non mainstream and the ones that usually get ignored by most people's or non Otaku because they usually have a small demographic that preferred a very specific story, low budget, and has a mostly japanese or Asians and small western audience. So, by my conclusions, the more non otaku people got to an anime that is made to be a global has a veary likely chance to be more toxic From my personal experience with a fandom in general
@runajain5773 it's true that when I went to a small less mainstream fandom back in early 2010, the only toxic conversation was moslty whose waifus was better than the other but now the most toxic conversation in mainstream is mostly just headcanons need to be this they're sexuallaty needs to be that this va need to be boycott etc etc etc It's just a bunch of tourists not understanding what makes the anime good in the first place and kicking us real fans the Otaku's out so they can project their real-life problems to each other's while stopping any new fans what the anime is about
Yes I am also a JJK fan and I have experienced toxicity with people inside and outside the fandom. And what’s funnier is that people who say the keep up with the manga and anime hate on it the most and complain that Gojo isn’t even a good character 😂😭🙏
Fandom culture by itself is toxic. A lot of people in the comments also seem to be very weird about (east) asian communities or treating them like seperate entities uncontacted by rest of the world. It's just straight up uncomfortable... Both because it feels dehumanizing and because it's straight up not true that "Asian communities" (by which they literally only mean JP. LOL.) are any more chill... Coming from someone who's been both in small fandoms (Sky: COTL's 2019 era, Spore, Niche - genetics survival) and the infamously shameful hated fandoms (Danganronpa, Genshin) on both western and "Asian" sides. Fandom culture by itself encourages singling out, sheep herding and cherry picking. The entire concept of a fandom arises from seeking a sense of shared opinion and community on a piece of media and in an echo chamber of "trying not to be toxic" that ends up turning toxic by itself. The idea of fandom will never work out. Fandoms also heavily discourage reading into works, because talking about intended meanings and implications will get you accused of "forcing an unconfirmed opinion" when it's how media works. I've seen this a lot in heavy story fandoms especially, which is quite counterintuitive... "Well, erm, they said that this character can not read or write, they didn't spell out that they're illiterate!" is basically how it tends to go. Give up. Enjoy media by its own and stop enforcing the idea that toxic vs. non-toxic fandoms exist... It changes nothing and helps no one, LOL. Instead encourage being able to be a fan of something without participating in the hell that is otaku/geek/fandom/whatever your country calls it culture.
Aaaa! I really liked this video! >w< I'm surprised you do not have more followers, your artstyle is cool and your topics are nice. I think that the only point I did not agree on is the safe space thing: a story is a story, and as life, is gonna get rough at some point. I like my angst and weird themes a lot, so if I ever get a long ass fandom like that, I'll probably ruin their day at some point (plus, with my dark and ridiculous humor) 😭
Can't have a toxic fandom if the fandom doesn't exist😭
LOL

Yeh less popular show fandom already less toxic

Kagurabachi...
Can't imagine the state of it when it's gets an anime adaptation and then it's gets the new gen jjk treatment
For instance the Gintama Fandom
I don't necessarily agree with that. Lots of small, niche works attract elitists, especially in music fandoms.
As a jjk fan I know all too well about toxic fandoms

Fandom culture is toxic because people treat fandom as an identity.
0:45 This was from the UNDERTALE fandom IIRC 😢
best part is that in the comments of the post people were quoting Flowey and saying it's kill or be killed
As someone who is part of the Sonic and Genshin fandom, it's hard to enjoy anything due to the constant hate in and out of the fandom.
