1:01:22

Horror has a complicated relationship with humanity. It is simultaneously a mirror to our thoughts and fears, as well as a genre that can sometimes be shunned and ostracized. Yet one thing is for sure, horror changes as we do. In the 90's it was the slasher craze, in the 00s it was gore p***, in the 2010's it was religious horror. So the question i…

Why are fandoms toxic? Well that is a million-dollar question, isn't it? We all remember Obiwan and Moses Ingram and just how ugly the fan racism was.

So we like Anime, but HATE live-action adaptations. But we do have two burning questions, WHY do we hate them, and do we even need them?
