Times have changed

Every time I come back to read the comments here, I realize all over again how fandom and tastes have changed over time. Like there are a shit ton of stories with problematic characters that are super famous and loved, yet somehow always hated on when it comes to the new gen readers. I don’t wanna call it the woke wave but it kinda is. People are so less tolerant towards shitty characters nowadays and feel the need to be vocal about it when really, it’s not a matter of morality but taste. If this story was published like ten years ago, I swear it definitely wouldn’t be getting as many hate comments as now because it would be considered a normal entertaining trope for some and those who didn’t like it would just move on and find something else instead of debating about it all over the place lol
