I think B8 is quite different, at least now
at one point this was a community fueled by e-pop, and there was some dumb stuff that came out of that
these days, I don't think so. we're like a bunch of fragments. there's lots of discussion topics. fighting game, anime, mass effect, etc. there's a lot of people I just don't interact with much anymore. if people still take issue with vlado, I doubt it's because of any social trends and is more likely a result of personal experience they've had with him.
Sure, but that's the same for... anywhere and everywhere. Both online and in real life. We'll all have either negative or positive associations with people depending on our interactions. I like to think that B8 is more civil than most online communities, but at the same time we can't fight human nature. If we develop negative attributes to someone, it's hard to negate those feelings no matter what happens afterwards. That's why first impressions are so (unfortunately) important.
