I honestly don't think I've come across any other that seems to be nearly as negative about their source material as this one.

Sonic fandom might be able to compete with us. There's got to be more. As a member of both I gotta say Warriors is much worse. It's legitimately not enjoyable for me to discuss these books because of how negative everyone is about everything.

That's what happens when the quality of the content goes on a consistent downward spiral. Besides, Star Wars fans exist. We can't beat that level of self-loathing.

I have no clue, Warrior's is really the only fandom I associate myself with. But there are a lot of people who do enjoy the series off WCRP Forums so I'm sure it's not the most hated by it's fandom. I mean, despite the books flaws, I still love the book and it's fandom.

not even close. the RWBY fandom is a better example of a fandom that has more fans that turn on it (trust me, im part of the critics side of the fandom and we spend our time lamenting on the issues of it and helping each other with fanfics and AU's to "fix" the series, etc.)
i'd say there's more positive warrior fans because of younger readers who keep joining each year and picking up the series. i've been reading these books since late elementary/early middle school and as the years went on, i started picking up on bad writing more and more.

Probably because we know the flaws of this series very well and critique it because we want it to be better. If you don't like seeing the negative stuff you might as well go onto Tumblr to see Warriors stuff.

This fandom is pretty mild compared to any other fandom or community I’ve been a part of for any other franchise .
Call of duty is littered with so much discourse and negativity , all well deserved mind you. It reeks with so much malodorous diarrhea that you’d be hard pressed to find any bit of positivity from even the content creators .
Lilo and stitch is a clusterbomb of negativity and hatred it’s truly terrifying. The sheer amount of Hate posts, threads, art etc is breathtaking . And the fans are so malicious that if you so much as breath that you enjoyed the Japanese anime Spin-off series Stitch! The anime. you’ll be blitzkrieg, and just bombarded with hate Mail, trashed talked , and be given straight up death threats , and just a plethora of profanity directed at you personally , like you committed murder from any of the ‘purist’ fans that only support the original material by Chris sanders . Grant it the Studio responsible for dubbing the series over to English shouldn’t of slapped the canon sticker on it , when it was clearly a reimagining of the original, but it was needlessly excessive . The outcry and backlash was so horrific that they took it off the air on American networks after only a few months .

If you don't like seeing the negative stuff you might as well go onto Tumblr to see Warriors stuff. current haters/critics used to be passionate fans. we just use our former passion to lament over what the series could have been. i like sharing that kind of discussion with people. it's fun for me but i see how other people can find it annoying lol

The Supernatural and Teen Wolf fandoms were pretty bad...
And Pokemon is full of 30 year old manbabies.
I'd say Warriors is pretty tame, outside of the 14 year olds

I'd say Warriors is pretty tame, outside of the 14 year olds nobody hates pokemon more than pokemon fans when a new game is announced The fandom is a weird mix of people who will hate anything new no matter what quality, people who are just happy to take anything bc it's Pokemon (which seems the most common tbh) and then a middle ground similar to what someone said in here or in that other thread. Where they critique not because of genwunner-ism but because they know better things can be produced but aren't. Imma be watching reactions since the new stuff is coming out shortly ANYWAY ig it just depends on where you look. Last time I was on Tumblr they were eating ALitM up, while the response here has been mixed leaning negative. I've noticed though that you don't really see any post-TLH content which perhaps speaks to the fandom's disinterest or dislike toward the newer stuff. Heck I've seen more OC art than anything relating to AVOS-TBC let's be real. Even DOTC stuff isn't THAT common. Though like I said ig it's where you look so don't take my rambling too seriously.

I was also caught hearing a convo with friends where they hated on the new movies. yeah Disney has really been crapping on the franchise with the new ones , retconning a bunch of the book material from what I’ve heard , since I’ve never actually read the books but my dad has he love to talk about them, and apparently their going to be reincarnating some long dead characters to bring them back in the next movie , but with different actors , so can’t even reminisce on watching the original actors take on their old roles , yeah it’s a complete clusterf*ck , and fans have been outraged about it .

The Harry Potter fandom is quite divided and hateful on certain topics (mostly characters and ships) although more recent (and completely justified) negativity is in regards to the author being a TERF.
But in terms of the Warriors fandom, I'm just going to say that there is a difference between criticizing something and being outright negative. Regardless, people are allowed to express their opinions and feelings on it even if they happen to be critiquing various aspects of this series.

They certainly give Star Wars fans some competition, but I think there is more hate for Star Wars recently and IMO is more warranted than for Warriors.
I feel kinda sad about all of the hate in this fandom, but I get it. People just want the quality to be better. I think I just have lower expectations for them lol. I feel like a lot of fans expect them to be extremely high quality, but forget that the target audience of these books are much younger than them. For me, I just enjoy each book release because serves as a way for me to stay connected to my childhood. It gives me something to look forward to with each release, and a community to be a part of. For these reasons I can look past the quality of the content.

For these reasons I can look past the quality of the content. not trying to spark an argument here . But the books being targeted for a younger audience isn’t what I’d consider validation for poor Writing quality .Theirs plenty of book series for younger ages that have immensely greater quality writing, more poignant prose , far more pronounced and paramount characterization/ plot and world consistencies , and written at a level that much older readers can still find satisfaction and appreciation for . The Redwall series which is targeted for ages 10-14 , which is only 2 years avoids the age bracket for warriors has some of the most unique, charmingly characterized characters In just about every piece of literature I’ve read personally . Each character has a beautifully crafted , and unique personality and given immense degree of depth that really makes the characters come to life in your imagination . Christopher Paolini’s Eragon series is a favorite of my sister and father , that I’ve heard really spectacular things about as well from them , and allow me to mention that it was written by a teenager, which deserves tremendous tremendous acclaim for someone that young being able to write a successful , New York Times bestseller with a compelling , and consistent suspenseful plot that holds your attention . Writing for a younger audience will have obvious constraints on what themes Sm be implemented into the story (Drugs , alcohol, tobacco, And other mature rated stuff being the obvious standouts for exclusion). And while they need to keep the reading comprehension level down to a level they’ll understand and be able to follow , doesn’t necessarily mean that quality should be thrown aside to the wind .

Yeah that's a very good point. The target audience certainly doesn't excuse the extreme amount of inconsistencies in the books. Maybe I'm just not as critical of them as most people lol. I've read a bunch of other young adult series that have good writing, including Eragon. It's one of my favorites after Warriors, although it is not without its flaws too lol.
