a lot of ppl have said it's problematic, which is true! some of the members, like fundy, schlatt (even tho he's not a member of the dsmp anymore), and minx are problematic.

the fandom used to be a lot more problematic too, it's definitely more chill now (most of us r just here for lore TBH, or we hold our favs accountable) but a lot of people fall for "satire"/joke accounts of being a "sterotypical" dsmp stan (ex : being dreamsexual, stanning dnf, all that sorta stuff), and they think the WHOLE fandom is like that (I promise it's not) but honestly I think telling ppl to DNI, or giving them d34th threats for watching dsmp, or sending hate to someone for liking dsmp is so stupid.

I've said this b4 on an old thread abt dsmp, but it really doesn't matter. everything, and everyone is problematic. nobody is perfect, we're all human, and we all make mistakes. every media we consume is problematic (ex : genshin impact, CRK, homestuck, stranger things, etc) while some people in the dsmp r just horrible people, most things they've been "cancelled" for was taken out of context, SUPER old, or they weren't aware it was harmful.

TLDR: i think ppl just hate it bc it got popular, and at one point the fandom was horrible, it's like the stranger things fandom, everyone loved it at first then it became "cringe" and everyone hates on it now. dsmp has died down a lot, especially with season 1 of the lore ending, and the fact ppl r falling for stupid "satire" accounts, and p0ppytwt (which i promise, the whole dsmp fandom HATES), are the main reasons for hate against chill fans. i can understand ppl hating on certain actual problematic creators but a lot of ppl take it rly far a lot LMAO, just ignore hate from dsmp antis, i promise it's much better than encaging and causing fights.
