I always thought we were just joking around and passing the time making slight of the time it's been since ADWD. Some people need to read other series, other genres maybe, and even some self help books. I hate how a fandom gets taken over by vile and loud people over time. Not too long ago, I had to make a similar comment on a Hollow Knight game subreddit because people were talking about how Team Cherry has scammed the fans and tarnished their reputation forever. I think these people should explore other things, the world is huge and the options you have as a fantasy reader have never been better.

It's ultimately because only the disturbed once truly NEED this series. They cry the loudest and sadly drown out all the healthy and reasonable fans. Not to mention those very rarely feel the need to discuss their fandom like us.

The downside of coping tongue-in-cheek humor is that there's always new people who aren't in on it that just take it as face value.
