pissing contests over children's comics

[toxicologist]

If you want the Pokespe fans to look at other Pokemon manga, it's best not to act like an obnoxious hipster about it and whining about it in the pokespe tag is not going to make things better.

Or you could just let the fans enjoy what they want.

Yeah, there are some kids who are acting like jackasses about it, but lumping the other part of Pokespe fandom (the people who enjoy it for what it is) into a collective hivemind of jackasses isn't going to fix things. I've read some of the other manga, and in the end, I find myself enjoying Pokespe the most. I mean, I like DPA!, I just like Pokespe more. Is that so wrong?

You're talking about what was happening on Tumblr?

Yeah. I understand that Pokespe (and some parts of the fandom, but really every fandom has a fan dumb) has its number of flaws, but taking it to the tag is just asking for trouble. Or saying "there are better pokemon manga than pokespe" and adding the Pokespe tag on it is just obnoxious.

I saw earlier.
The person who posted the thing about not liking the PokeSpe fandom, she wasn't trying to start anything at all. All she did was point out how people kinda just refuse to even acknowledge that other pokemon manga exist even if they see it right there in the bookstores.

Idk. I don't really take any sides on this matter. dsfsd

Yes, I saw that post. I think if your friend started the post in a nicer tone that didn't make it seem like she hated the fandom as a whole (because even if she did say that she liked some members of the fandom, it seems like in the post that she hates everyone in it). It's like me saying "I hate the Homestuck fandom" instead of saying something like "I dislike some parts of the Homestuck fandom for their [insert travesty here]."

Well, it seems like everyone got over the event anyway, so I'll be shutting up about it! :X
