Another Twitter rant converted to LJ post.
I'm not sure what's worse, the Undertale community, or the community of people who do nothing but complain about the Undertale community.

Oh, wait, I am sure. It's definitely the latter.

Smooth McGroove posts a new Undertale acapella mix and comments are mostly just complaints about how supposedly bad the Undertale fandom is.

It's weird how I see more stupid shit from people complaining about the fandom of a thing than I do stupid shit from the fandom of the thing

All I ever hear about is how "toxic" these fandoms supposedly are. Maybe I'm just lucky that I've never experienced the "toxicity" 1st hand.

At this point, "toxic" has become just yet another meaningless, pointless buzzword, like "SJW" or "cuck" or "triggered" or whatever. -_-

The only "community" or fandom that I've had first hand experience with seeing the stupid bullshit they do is the Souls fandom, in the comments under any given SBFP Souls game LP.
Anyway, here is the Smooth McGroove acapella mix in question, which is of my personal favorite track from the game.
Click to viewComments under it are either about how good the mix is, or how bad and "toxic" the Undertale fandom supposedly is.
Just another example of why "Hate Dumb" is an actual thing that exists, and isn't just a page on TVTropes. Far, far too many people confuse the concept of "this is a thing that simply doesn't interest me" with "this is a thing that everyone should despise and it makes no sense why anyone would like it and those who do like it should be mocked incessantly." (The latter, of course, should be reserved only for actually important things that actually matter, like the very real possibility of Donald Trump becoming the next POTUS. ¬_¬)
(And yeah, in all cases, I guess I deserve what I get for making the mistake of looking at Youtube comments in the first place. You'd think I'd learn some fucking day. *shrug*)
