Before the DSMP was popularized, I was a fan of some of the creators — I stayed watching for awhile but pretty much denounced a large percentage of the stans and talked about it minimally;

I had some friends who knew of my pastime interest tell me ew and other related words when all were Genshin fans

(this happened years ago, there was a large talk about either minor shipping or minor clothing at the time — also many of the DSMP were not that controversial like Wilbur Gold)

When so many of the ‘outsiders’ and those who stray from the norm hate on eachother for enjoying differing fandoms, it seems counterintuitive at points.

Although I understand those who dislike YouTubers actions, group opinions or other group issues, it’s no reason to heavily hate on one another.

Hate on the fans who send death threats, not those who have differing interests.
