[bq="ArkyNoid"] (I'm ready to face palm when someone defensively says "every fandom is like that" as if that's news)
Stuff like the character hate, for example Sonic as you mentioned. People have a right to like or dislike as they see fit but I can also opine that it is pretty weak to trash even good quality art unto itself just because of a disliked character or some other superficial bullocks.[/bq]
Unfortunately, that is apparently "news" to some people as some don't realize that whenever they put down this fandom, (just 'cause they had a bad experience with one or two bronies) or others. Same for those that romanticize this fandom into a "utopia
I agree about the Sonic thing. It's ok to not like things, but unfortunately some tend to be a jerk about it. A guy here used to give me crap for being a "Sanik fan" and for defending good or tolerable Sonic-related pics. A guy whom claimed "all Sonic fanart was bad" challenged me to show him good ones. I did, but no matter what I showed him he still said they were bad no matter what, so I just called him out on that, and gave up. (And some were probably better then the Pony pics in his favorites.)
Biased people like that ironically act no better then brony/pony-haters they demand more respect from.
