Not OP, but the fandom's starting to get a bit of a reputation, particularly where Teen Titans Go is concerned. Going to Go forums to bash the show, making fun of the fans, that sort of thing. Not anything outside of the "normal" range of bitter nerd gatekeeping, but it's not a good look.

This, and some of them being kinda racist over the casting of the live action, specifically Starfire. It's probably not all fans from the animated series, though the fact that they mostly expect the stick-straight hair of the animated version rather than the voluminous waves of the comics version suggests most of them are, but between describing her as a "crack whore" and bitching that they cast a black woman as a character "traditionally caucasian looking" is, as you say "not a good look".

Yikes -- I missed the live action drama. Isn't Starfire "traditionally orange with glowing green eyes?"

Came here to say the same. Just how much cheap bronzer do the people around them use that they think orange is a "traditionally caucasian look"?

I assume they mean the shape of her features, though honestly she's less consistently drawn with "European"-looking features than some characters who are explicitly African or African-American - Storm or Vixen, for example. But it does certainly come off weird given the whole "orange" thing, yes.
