>>13795896It is natural that no product, person or character will be liked by everyone. Hell, it is fairly natural that one produce or another receives its very own vocal group of haters who won't miss a chance to point out how shitty it is.
But there is a point at which tensions and grievances become unhealthy with their sheer density.
I was never concerned too much with design-based 'hate', or the performance-based one - what actually intrigued me is that in this case there is a sizeable group of people who mutually rile up each other against themselves that it suddenly becomes far easier to have a decent Charizard or Honchkrow thread than any Ralts-related one, no matter how brief.
Of course, on the scale of big picture, the significance of this quarell is effectively zero. On the scale of such communities as /vp/, it only serves to make the place harded to make use of.
Just like how I made this thread to see if I can scrap up additional images... and yet three written posts of mine was already enough to declare that I organized a crusade against malcontents.
