>>17512135You're wrong
These days are better because it's mainly real fans, you can actually talk to them about it instead of spouting "omg pikachu is sooo cute and charizard is badass"
Those fans were only following the trends so had no idea what they were talking about, just spouting common knowledge
It's like talking about being a Star Wars fan when they only thing you know is "luke I am not your father"
Everyone fucking knows that
You can spot and ignore the genwunners that only liked it because it was cool easily
A fan of star wars when it was released would not be a fan of sci-fi, they just be another person following the trend
