I joined the fandom in late 2021, watching some of their reviews and I was fairly pleased with what I saw. However, I eventually realized that some of them can be very biased, easily angered, have surface-level criticisms, and are unprofessional. And that you probably shouldn\'t take everything they say for granted.
In terms of bias, they make jokes about characters they hate or praise. Which makes it hard to take them seriously. Sometimes they take it too far.
They constantly talk about specific writers or otherwise and it gets annoying and unnecessary. You can\'t assume the quality of an episode from just 1 person. Especially if there\'s a whole bunch of people who help make this show. I feel they can be so fixated on their expectations, that they miss the point of what the episode was trying to do and I don\'t think that\'s fair. They tend to overlook, overthink or overanalyze. Sometimes they can be just painful to listen to.
At first, most of their complaints were justified, but then they got overblown and obnoxious to the point of annoyance. If you\'re going to let you escalate that hatred to the point of making mean-spirited, painful jokes when it wasn\'t necessary, I think you need to keep this under control.
But then again, I barely know these people. I wasn\'t in the fandom when all this calamity happened. I\'m willing to listen to others have to say, but I make my opinions and observations.

Something Good, Something Bad...
There's a lot of great stuff in the analysis community. There are many people from various walks of life, giving their many cents on the show and its themes. It can be really interesting to see their opinions on episodes, insightful discussions, and anticipations for the future. It's also interesting how their backgrounds factor into their enjoyment and experiences, and how the show affected them. At times, they've even done things that may be called heroic.
But the analysts have also made several mistakes. Some have made inaccurate criticisms, some have caused unnecessary drama, and some have gone so far as to create severe heartbreak.
Although it's fair to enjoy their content, don't just blindly follow the opinion of one analyst. Check out varying opinions, think carefully and conscientiously for yourself, and come to your own conclusions. Don't let them be dictated by others. And remember, this show isn't the Second Coming of Christ; it's just a TV show.
There's plenty to appreciate in this community. Cherish what's good, and acknowledge what isn't.
