I'm not saying you can't hate the series, but it feels more on a gimmick level. Like I were to say I hate Naruto, I will get 50/50. If I say I hate Bleach, I probably get bashed to death. If I say I hate Fairy Tail, I get thumbs up and a party. Some videos I can see legit reason to bash, some videos feel "polarizing" like it doesn't feel genuine. I don't know, that just me.
That is what we call mindless fangasming/bashing of something. Ask 99% of those commentators WHY they love or hate something and they will most likely be parroting the reasons of someone else. That's what I notice about a lot of fans of anything. They don't genuinely have their own opinions, or look at anything objectively, they just "follow the crowd". And that is also where double standards come in. I bet QUITE A LOT of those Fairy Tail bashers are also Dragon Ball fans, yet praise Dragon Ball's nonsensical stuff where as the "nonsense" in Fairy Tail is justified "criticism". I partially blame nostalgia for that.
