Plus it's easy to avoid the toxicity, just follow them all on Twitter, unless you want to actually engage with other "fans", in which case, that's on you.

Precisely. And regardless of what social media platform one uses, all roads lead to Rome, as the saying goes. As long as you're any part of the fandom, its positives and negatives will reach you.Everyone's going to experience the toxicity of the fandom, they just have to find the place where they'll fit in and that will lessen the negativity.

Wondered what happened there. FYI, I never discussed any forum staff related stuff with him. Told him I was done, that was it. What happened with others was not my knowledge.

About a year ago there was a fan vote on the set to celebrate the company's 90th anniversary (it should be announced any day now): for the first round, we should choose one to three of several classic themes from the franchise's history, and then vote on the three winners for the second round. But the moment BIONICLE began to gain traction, we constraction fans were immediately assaulted by several System-only fans, claiming that BIONICLE wasn't "true" LEGO, that we were using bots to win the vote (not unlike some people accuse fan votes in Transformers of being rigged ), making videos and comments asking people not to vote on BIONICLE or that BIONICLE sucks, and one Youtuber in particular blamed us for the recent reboot failing (when apparently the marketing was so bad some fans weren't even aware the line was back ). Meanwhile, a lot of constraction fans retaliated in pretty much the same manner, and soon the same kind of "this theme I don't like sucks and should't win and everyone who likes it is stupid" spread to other themes.

Speaking as someone who's only been a member for two or three years, I can confidently say that this website is a safe space for me. I've only ever gotten into one big argument, and that was when I was younger and stupider.
All this is to say that I don't know much about the overall TF community, but I know that the folks here at Seibertron are nice people who are happy to welcome new members.

Same, luckily we do get that output in the other cartoon lines where the designers are given more freedom. At least Generations is going down more non-G1 rabbit holes with picks. Though I'm a filthy heretic and long for no G1 elements in the Generations line (name slaps are fine)
