NAYRT

You seriously don't see what's wrong with labeling Makoto/Haru "drinking the Kool-Aid" lol? Like you couldn't pick a more condescending, "butthurt" (to quote AYRT) way to explain your point if you tried. Just because they chose to pander to their largest demographic doesn't mean anyone "drank the Kool-Aid". How about we phrase it differently? "The creators were so smart to take fandom into account for season two. They created much more sales for themselves, created and adapted more likeable characters, and gave the fandom what they were hoping for, therefore increasing likely sales in the future and fostering good will within the fandom."

Sounds a little better than "drinking the Kool-Aid". If you don't think that was meant in a condescending, "haha stoopid little shippers" way I don't know what to tell you. It's pretty obvious other anons are picking up on the unfortunate wording too.

Uh. I'm finding it really weird that you're bent out of shape about the wording. Why do you care that much?

"The creators were so smart to take fandom into account for season two. They created much more sales for themselves, created and adapted more likeable characters, and gave the fandom what they were hoping for, therefore increasing likely sales in the future and fostering good will within the fandom."

I'm sorry, but this phrasing is really silly. I think I'll say, "The creators wanted money. Makoto sold a bunch of merch, so they pimped out the Makoto/Haru in S2. The shippers ate it up." If you want to be positive about the whole thing, go on ahead, but, like I said, I don't particularly see it as positive or negative.

I'm a shipper myself, but I don't see what's all that offensive about the phrasing. People get pandered to when they like popular shit. That's the way the world works. Yay capitalism lol!

This thin-skinned, reactionary antic is exactly the kind of embarrassing lack of self-awareness that warrants "mean" phrasings such as "drinking the Kool-Aid". This thread is goddamn a case study in the exact thing y'all are protesting so hard, it's beautiful.

In the context of that comment, "drinking the Kool-Aid" was in reference to all shipping in the fandom, not particularly MakoHaru, if that will make you feel better.
