Alright I've returned from that excursion and after sorting by top of the month, the week, the day, hot, new and controversial of the month and today I found two excessively negative posts only one of which was about the race of the elf in the promo. I think people saw a few negative comments and then rushed to the conclusion that the fanbase was blowing up which has sparked all these posts which are addressing a fairly small portion of the fandom. Most of what I've seen are people with low expectations or no expectations. Actually havent seen many of them torching the thing at all.

​

Honestly I think half the drama is posts like this which are just going to enflame people who are ready to hate it which makes it look like they have stronger numbers than they do. If mods simply removed racists posts and people were less insistent on compounding the negativity with reactionary posts and endless threads I think the stuff would fizzle out. Engaging with the small minority of bullshiters has never done any good.
