Okay I'm a huge geek and a member of many fandoms including Star Wars and Harry Potter. We all know how toxic the Star Wars fandom has become, I find it easier to just not express my views to other Star Wars fans unless I know where their views are or that they are at least semi sane people.
With the latest trailer for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them there's a small group of fans who seem to be stepping towards the toxic side as well because they disagree with where the creator of the Harry Potter universe is taking certain characters and the story, it's even been discussed on the BBC News.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-45666350Does anyone else feel that the fans are starting to ruin fandoms and take the joy of enjoying a universe that's been created by someone else?
Do you think that fans take these fandoms too seriously and become too wrapped up in them?
Do you think that people are just looking for reasons to be offended and then become keyboard warriors by reading too much into something and then blowing it out of proportion?
