Yeah I ran I to this with Critical Roll. Super toxic, super vocal minority of fans that made nuanced critical discussions of the show almost impossible. I don't think it's the show's fault. Rabid fans make for rabid community moderators.

It's probably a symptom of how fucked our society is. Or it's just the internet.

Srsly Wrong's latest podcast talked a lot about how oil companies funded grassroots pro oil campaigns and then linked it to our larger culture and how we can't trust anyone anymore.

I never thought I'd be able to say not trusting each other is big oils fault, but here we are

Anything related to a DND live play I'm going to assume will be immediately toxic by virtue of what I understand about DND's fanbase. I love Dimension20 and I like Critical Role but I'm going to assume every other fan of the show is an insufferable idiot.
