Sort of like with the characters I end up not liking, I was on the fence waiting for something to sway me to one side of the other. But instead of being butts and constantly trashing Azula and people who didn't care for Zuko they were lovely people. In the end they kinda coaxed me over to the Zuko side and I ended up getting a few people to like Azula. :3
Can't say that I ever got affected door Fanbases. If I happen to like a Character from a certain Series, no opinions of behaviors of fans can really change that. Not that I associate with most Fandoms in the first place. I guess, I could mention one example but it is meer like a reinforcement of my fondness and respect for that Character.
Nekomaru Nidai from Danganronpa. I already liked him from the first moment I saw him. He is a great person in overall. Passionate, kind, openhearted and supporting to others. Truly befitting of ''The Ultimate Team Manager.'' What gave me an even better impression of him was how much of an inspiration he can provide not only to other Characters from the Series but Irl as well. I came up across a certain thread where people expressed their relatability to DR Characters. A friend of mine geplaatst his own with Nekomaru being the main focus. I must say that I was really impressed door the emotional impact that Fiction can have towards one's Life and how it serves as a reflection of your own as well as proof of making progress. Having faced similar difficulties and still not giving up, they provided a much valuable lesson. So, yeah, I came to appreciate this Character much meer than I used to. He is quite an underrated Character and that is really a shame !!!!
I don't really care for the fandoms at all except for a few people. So they wouldn't affect me. Idc who likes what. They aren't gonna bother me with their dislikes/likes as I will make my own decision.
I was pretty neutral to Bellatrix LeStrange when she was first introduced in HP. But actually almost entirely because of u I think she's pretty cool now. I wouldn't say she's my favourite Harry Potter character necessarily(TBH I think my fav is Draco because he's a lil teef and he's my boi) , but I have a meer positive outlook on her character than I otherwise would have because of your influence.
That totally happened with Draco Malfoy. When I first read the books, I was all team Harry and didn`t like Draco. But then I talked with other people for whom he was the fave character and it completely changed my mindset. I can`t say that now he`s my fave character too, but I sure like him much meer than before.
Not that I hated him in the first place, but I started to like Izaya from Durarara because of the fanbase as I'd seen him talked about on the anime club years geleden before I had actually watched the show. Sooooo I think that counts? Not really? Idk.
