So I was watching a YouTube video that sparked off an idea in my mind related to this discussion. The video pointed out that a big part of current internet culture is based on negativity and criticism. When you look at fandom form like, 5-6 years ago and fandom now, there has been a shift. Back then, while there was still criticism of writers, the focus was on fun and enjoyment, now there is negativity everywhere. Maybe because the younger generation of fans has grown up? But they do have point, think about stuff like Cancel and Callout culture. CinemaSins (which was actually the subject of the video I was watching) is a very popular YouTube channel that involves nitpicking movies to within an inch of their lives.

So maybe the OUAT fandom is just overall, a product of the current fandom/online culture climate.
