Not really. It's usually certain areas where a fanbase is that would be considered toxic. The WOF community in general is quite toxic, but there's very few good places to have a civil conversation with someone else who's a fan of WOF. I'm in the Miitopia fandom and I haven't seen anything toxic so far. (But then again, it is pretty small even on the biggest community of it which is on Tumblr- but even then I haven't seen anything toxic at all there yet.) I have seen and heard of my fair share of horror stories from toxic, petty, and entitled fanbases. For example, the Steven Universe fanartist that was nearly bullied into suicide because the artist drew Rose Quartz skinny. Or the Voltron voice actors getting death threats from angry fans because the show didn't go with their ships. Lets not even get started with the Star Wars fandom. After so many stories like that, it just gives me the cynical, yet not entirely accurate impression, that fandoms in general are malicious and self destructive beasts. Personally, I think it's more of the individual instead of the group as a whole, but so be it. That's how I feel and I don't think fandoms generally self destructive or malicious; I just think it's the individuals instead.

Another thing WOF has over Warriors, its' prophecies aren't thrown willy-nilly and aren't pointless to be there.
The prophecies act as the big overarching plot. The first arc had the five Dragonets of Destiny saving the day by ending the war, and that one queen of the Sandwings will reign, although with a sorta twist of who in the end. The second is more vague, and can mean multiple things in each verse of it, but still leads to a main drive of the plot.
And now we got a third arc with a third prophecy, which again, acts as a big overarching plot/main drive.
Compared to stuff Warriors has like with The Three, and the whole "Sharp eyed Jay and Lions Roar, Peace will come under Dove's gentle wing" and all that, that prophecy didn't really DO anything in the plot, nor do the characters involved for the most part. Jayfeather was the only one that did something useful in the fourth arc, Lionblaze wasn't anything extraordinary in the Great Battle tbh, and Dovewing didn't bring peace at all, she could've been like a mediator figure and helped see past the clans differences with her powers and see they're all the same in some way, and help them band together for such a big moment, but she doesn't even do that, she doesn't do anything, her potential was wasted for forbidden romance. That prophecy is utterly useless because literally nothing happens with it to have it come true.
And then you got AVoS, which threw prophecies out the ass and tbh doesn't do a good job at throwing them out like WoF does. WoF's second arc had a vaguer prophecy and yet it doesn't leave you scratching your head about it for too long, and isn't giving you too many smaller ones in-between the arc either, or have some that are kinda just left out in the open. Darkstalker's Legend had a smaller prophecy, directed at his father, but even that isn't pointless to have there because something DOES happen with it later to have it come true, albeit really gruesome as hell.
Point being, imo, WoF handles it's prophecies better than WC.
