>>54736819This is also why there started being so much angry screeching about the XY anime and "XYfags" after XY ended even though the series was massively popular when it aired and you never saw any of this vitriol towards it. These people that stuck around to watch Ash win the Alola league and then became world champion were incredibly angry that XY was still a fan favorite series and the series where "their character" won were pretty heavily disliked.
You see the same with the Liko anime now. People that didn't like SM and JN are praising it, so the Ashtards screech. "How can you like that thing better when Ash won in my thing?" All that mattered to them was their selfinsert winning, the idea of people watching a TV show because they find the show enjoyable doesn't register with them.
