>>40343551I think what's happened is that, for the longest time, the pro-XY sentiment on /padt/ was so strong that even saying anything positive about SM, regardless on whether or not the poster actually liked SM, was immediately countered with shitposting. It was basically tough to be an SM fan or even to like SM in the generals. But now, as the new series is approaching, combined with an influx of newbies after the League, has made many realize that perhaps the XY pushing had gone too far. So basically, /padt/ is now split into two camps: those who still cling to XY, and those who'd rather move on to SM or PM2019.
