In all honesty, the Arthur fandom has really gone south in recent years, so much so that people are voluntarily walking away from the fandom and trying to avoid it altogether, because it's become overrun with polluted with trolls.
The Arthur fandom is similar to Muppet Freaks in a lot of ways: many of them are fans who simply never grew up (as Tough Pigs is noted for saying), but then there are fans out there who never grew up for the wrong reasons: now, I don't mean this to be derogatory towards a certain group of people out there, but there's a number of fans who are, let's just say "special needs" - they're adults, but they have the mentality of kids, so that becomes a problem for others. For instance, there are two very infamous trolls among the Arthur fandom who have all but given the entire fandom a permanent black eyes, and one of them is someone Drtooth will know who I'm talking about: he's on deviantART, and he basically posts nothing but MS Paint tracings of screen shots and puts the characters in bathing suits (yes, Drtooth, the guy with the fetish with the hershey kiss nipples), and often times harasses other people like that one kid you knew in school who was so obnoxious that you actually wished somebody would lock him in a locker. Then there's supposedly a troll over at fanfiction.net who apparently has a fetish for writing about the characters losing their genitals in one way or another, and this is all he writes about, and he apparently has like hundreds of these kinds of stories . . . I heartell some say, based on his profile picture, the he even looks like a pedophile.
And then there's certain trolls who really contribute nothing to the fandom at all, but they keep hanging around, & t@lk l!k3 t#!$ @11 t#3 t!m3, because they have nothing better to do. I'll be honest, I actually moderate an Arthur fan forum (for adult fans, mind you), but I don't really have much to do with it anymore because we keep losing so many of our legit members over problems like this - it's like no matter what outlet you go to for the franchise, there's more trolls than there are legit fans. Really, the best place there ever was for Arthur fans was Hubert's old Elwood City Central forum, but that guy has never returned from his "break" like three or four years ago . . . it's almost like he was deja vu of That Announcer: we never heard from that guy again, and he was pretty much singlehandedly responsible for coaxing many of us MC old timers out of our shells over a decade ago when there was still an almost kind of shyness among the community.
