First of all, it's literally impossible to ignore the complaining in this fanbase. All people do is complain these days, and they feed off each other's complaining. Is some of that inevitable? Yes, especially on the Internet. Is some of what they say valid? Yes.

But my question is...what's the point anymore? All the complaints have been said over and over again, and Rainbow clearly doesn't care. Plus, the people who complain keep watching the show, even though they don't seem to be happy. It's like they're putting themselves through a torture cycle. I'll never understand that part.

The reality is if they're still watching, there's something still drawing them in. There's something they appreciate or enjoy about the show as it is now, no matter how bad they think it is. I never hear people talk about what that might be. I only hear the same complaints over and over again.

Second, the change in target audience isn't a weak excuse. It's the heart of this, but our own assumptions make it seem like a bad argument. Since I'm planning to write a post about this, I won't say anymore.

One thing about the complaining: it's not even helpful. Complaining is naturally one-sided. Sure, people have a right to complain, but no one's hearing other angles. Critiquing is more meaningful than complaining, and yes, that involves seeing the pros and cons. But that rarely happens around here.
