There isn't, at least as far as I'm aware, a single active member on this forum who seriously thinks Toriyama can do no wrong. On the contrary, I'd say the blanket and uncritical "@kirA 1Z h@K!!1"-type comments are a lot more prevalent, both here and elsewhere -- even, curiously enough, with respect to aspects of the franchise with which the degree of Toriyama's involvement remains uncertain.

BUt at least fanboying has the advantage of being positive.

Positive or negative they're both useless.
so if you look down on critics for not contributing anything you should look down on overpositive fanboys and girls.

No, at least one isn't being an arse. Even if both are useless, one doesn't have the problem of being negative.

You can be an ass while being positive
"If you dont like it you should just accept what AT has given you and shut up" is positive AND being an ass for example.

That's not being positive. The insult is an act of negativity.

An act of negativity and has nothing to do with being a fan, it's just being a jerk.

Being overwhelmingly positive about something is more akin to Chris Treager from Parks and Rec. The guys is positive about LITERALLY :D everything, but I'd much rather that than someone who is just critical of something.

Random pet peeve, but posters calling Goku by Kakarotto/Kakarot gets me to roll my eyes.

People who can't realize that Mystic/Ultimate/Unlocked Potential Gohan is NOT a Super Saiyan form.
When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

Character with a sad backstory = great character.
Character without a sad backstory = bad character.

"Character X is better than character Y because his past is more dramatic. He has much more depth. (I don't even know what depth means, but its cool)."
A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

I blame Naruto and One Piece for this mentality.

I don't mind if it's referring to the time before he was sent to Earth.

''Broly is the strongest and greatest character ever in dragon ball franchise,his power is infinite,it rises as the fight goes on untill he become so powerfull that he can destigrate Superman Prime 1 Million,Whis,Beerus and SSJ4 Gogeta combined just by staring at them,he only lose because he's a villain and a villain always loses because of the plot,if Broly come back in Dragon Ball Super,the show will the best show of all time and why is Freeza the one getting revived in the new movie? Broly is far greater and stronger character than him.And if he trains like Goku he will become even more powerfull because he was born with a Power Level of 10,000 while Goku only have a Power Level of 2,He destoryed the south galaxy while Cell can only bust a Solar System''

This is just some examples of Broly fans in every Broly videos on youtube,its really stupid and annoying
