@Arragonder no worries lol. a lot of my distaste has to do with how poorly the vast majority seems to interpret the source material and how the themes and overall message tend to go right over their heads, but i guess youre going to get people like that in every popular fandom- it was like this for p4 as well. that aside im just a generally irritable person unfortunately, lmao
@goroakechi my friend whose been a persona fan for only slightly less time than me and way more active in the fandom compared to my hearing about the fandom second hand mostly, also lamented the death of the persona fandom with five's rise to mainstream darling so you're def not alone.
To harp on a pet opinion of mine, democratization without education has been ruining things since AOL caused the endless summer of the UseNet days.
