I have something to say regarding the Miraculous Episode fandom
Iâve been watching miraculous for about⊠2-3ish years now and Iâve noticed that the fandom gets progressively worse after almost every episode. If the episode is just a filler episode but is otherwise good and fun, it becomes THE WORST CRIME AGAINST THE FANDOM. If an episode is genuinely bad then all hell breaks loose. It seems as if nobody can give good episodes credit and only want to see the bad in everything. It could be an episode with the best animation, plot, and character development and the fandom would still find something to bitch about.
If Marinette makes a mistake, she becomes the absolute worst person in existence and how dare they make her the main character, even if she learns her lesson in the end. Nobody cares about these main characters and everybody acts like they would rather see characters that havent had enough lines to fill up a page as ladybug and chat noir. Half the fandom hates Adrien and the other half cant see anything he does as wrong. Hell, a good number of the fandom actively prefer the ACTUAL VILLIANS of the show and cant see anything wrong with them. Like excuse me lila (while being a good plot device) is a pathological liar and evil. And gabriel is an emotionally abusive father, enough said. The only characters that have more than a 50% praise rating is alya and nino, which is understandable since they arenât meant to be plot devices but comic relief.
People also tend to forget that this is in fact a kids show. There is most likely not some deep seeded evil plot to be misogynist or racist or whatever. Please stop telling me that Adrien is a misogynist asshole or that marinette is racist because she doesnât seem to care much about her heritage. These characters are 14/15. I know plenty of people that have family with a deep heritage that dont really care until theyâre older.
Almost every top post is bashing the creators to hell and back and then they get upset when the creators stop giving a smelly cow fart about what those people think. Iâm sorry but I grew up in a time where you respected what creators did for you even if you dont always agree with their methods. I was taught that we, as the audience were supposed to give constructive criticism and not outright hate. Yes the creators make mistakes. No, not everything astruc does i agree with. Yes, there are times when I wish the show would go a different way or do something different, but those things do not ruin the rest of the show for me.
This fandom has become childish and rude. I used to respect this fandom for how nice everybody was and how creative, how pleasant it was. Now I dread going through the tags trying to find that one good post. I can no longer respect this fandom (with a few objections, such as @miraculousepisodes ).
I rarely scroll through tumblr anymore but miraculous ladybug was one reason I did and now that might not last much longer.
These people who have nothing better to do than write âsalt postsâ and hate on a childrenâs show are honestly sad, and I am saddened that they are taking over this once great fandom.
Again, constructive criticism is great, hate is not. Hate does nothing but make the creators dislike you. Everybody is entitle to their opinion and everybody is entitled to prefer one character over another but if you cannot at least treat the main characters with some modicum of respect, just stop watching. You would be so much happier if you just stopped watching.
I guess thatâs what Iâm getting at here. If you dont like the show or you feel that it sends a bad message, stop watching. Let the people who do like it enjoy it and go find something you like better.
Edit: I love miraculous and will probably never stop watching this show despite how frustrated I get at their obliviousness and the fandom.
