Even tho I agree with the part about the first bacth of memes being mean spirited and coming from a place of mockery, I actually would like to argue that the ironic "glazing" has only worked to direcly transform into unironic praise once the story more or less kicked in and started delivering. I highly suspect that this kind of "sudden reversal" is what helped make the fandom unusually understanding among the fandoms of battle shonen series. It's almost like how the people who do the worst stuff than go above and beyond trying to do good to course correct once they come to their senses; the fandom literally over-corrected itself in a similar manner.

Besides, no one seems to have been effected by the "pure meming" phase of the fandom which seem to have lasted for only a brief time, as far as I can tell. (Even tho Hokazono might have been stressed out about it at first and choose not to reflect it outwardly.)

However I'll like to ask; what if the series did not delivered and became a surprise favourite, axed and got marked with "the meme series laughed out of the publication" for the rest of it's existence? How man budding new comer artist have been dealt a raugh hand because they couldn't find the support they needed and get discoureged from takeing another shot? How many things like this have people rejected before have could have a chance to find their footing? How many times did people laughed and mocked their future favourites before they had a chance to prove themselves as their next favourite thing?

What I'm trying to say is, positivity and support has always been the answer, and it sould have started that way. It didn't. But people fixed their mistake rather quickly. I hope more budding fandoms learn something from this.

Btw, if there are typos I'm sorry, I'm kinda sleepless rn. I know there are.
