It's funny how those who talk about how people care too much about things tend to constantly talk about said things. Sure some people go as far as to make hollow death threats, but that's a minority. Most just leave their thoughts on the matter and that's it. Of course, one can't frame it for what it is, complaining that people have differing opinions. That sounds immature and petty, so one must pretend fandom hate is some big issue, despite it being easily ignored and actually being quite beneficial.

I continue to find the idea of hating on haters to be one that's very silly. They would have us believe it's bad to think critically and that we should be mindless sheep that buys everything our corporate overlords throws at us. That it's wrong to advocate for companies to do better for everyone, which includes those that hate on us for doing it, which is the real head scratcher here. They'd rather buy worse products than better ones but why? It'd make some sense if they had a stake in the company, but I imagine the majority I see doing this do not.

Anyway, bitching about fandoms is only a distraction from the real issue, being the quality of the product not meeting standards. Look at Mario for instance, another huge fandom yet the hate is no where near as high. Could be because humans somehow magically become more better when talking about Mario, or it's simply because Mario doesn't give people many reasons to hate by consistently putting out good products.
