So there have been some cries of there being "over-positivity" in the fanbase about fans being very biased to only see the good in episodes and not wanting to hear the bad.

What I have to say about it is this: what did you expect?

Thinking about it a certain way, does it make sense for someone not liking the show and the community to stay in the community? I don't think so either.

It's a rather black-and-white model but this more of a conversation-starter than a closing statement on the matter. I know that it paints things with a very broad stroke but just go ahead and make your responses in the comments section.

Okay then. Think about it. If "negative" fans end up leaving the fandom, never to be seen or heard from again, who is going to be left behind? The more positive ones, of course. If someone is a "positive" fan, they are more likely to stick around.

Of course, there are multiple variables that dictate how likely it is for a certain fan to stay in the fandom and this is just one of them.

People come, people go, but it's those who stay who define the fandom. If the positively-biased fans are the ones more likely than others to stay, it is likely that you're going to see more fans with positive biases than otherwise.
