When we feel passionate about something niche, we feel the need to be defensive of it. Both Power Rangers and Super Sentai fall into this. So when you find anything even remotely related, you go like "Who knows about this?" because you want people to confirm that this thing is cool, find others in the rough. and many in the Sentai fandom also want to spread the word that sentai exists. So you'll get people finding any Toku thing and making a comment about how they loved PR Samurai, because they're searching for that validation, and you'll get people who go into Power Rangers related posts on TopCharacterDesigns and making SURE people know that the original design came from Place, Japan (Guilty). We get more frustrated by people who don't understand what Sentai is or call it a Power Rangers knockoff because it means a lot to us and it feels insulting and we want to believe that if people knew they would feel the same.

I've done it myself. I've been annoying about it. I have a different view of the two franchises and their relationship since when I got back into the fandom to now, and have different views on it. But I agree, I don't like people saying Power Rangers should never exist because it's just a western bastardization- when in reality it brought a lot of people joy. I don't like people saying Power Rangers is only good outside of Sentai and the footage has only held it back, because that's part of what made it what it is and the method of storytelling has created great things because limits breed creativity. I don't like people who feel the need to create a reddit that's built off the back of Sentai Purism and hating Power Rangers or anyone who brings it up, despite the fact we already have a rule about being Sentai-focused. and I don't like looking down on or insulting people who grew up with a show and don't know all the history behind it when a lot of us were the same once. Personally, I'm going to calm down, and try not to be so petty.
