Overwatch quickly shot up in popularity because of its fun gameplay, where casual gamers and pros alike can enjoy, its charming cast of well designed characters, and its surprising good lore which Blizzard has fully backed with high quality animated shorts films. The game got so popular, that many people who don't normally play video games or first person shooters became fans. The game became huge in the Esports community to the point that a nationwide Esports league was announced among many tournaments. The game became big overseas, especially in Asia, whom ironically have a reputation of not liking first person shooters. It won many Game Of The Year awards in 2016, the year the game was released.
However, starting in early 2017, the game began getting Hype Backlash for several reasons. Given how Overwatch became the most popular Hero Shooter, many games in the genre had to fight accusations of being clones of Blizzard's title. Many hero shooters released after Overwatch like Battleborn and LawBreakers flopped partially because of unfavorable comparisons to Overwatch. Even Apex Legends, a battle royale game with an edgier sci-fi art direction and gameplay inspired by PUBG, is pitted against Overwatch just for having a colorful cast of characters. For many, Overwatch's popularity and status as the genre standard has created an environment where it becomes impossible for hero shooters to stand out and be judged on their own merits.
Among the many haters of World of Warcraft are people who say that say because it is so popular, that it sucks. (That is, the people who have actually seen more than the box art.) Another large group of haters are people who complain that Blizzard has ruined the game by catering to the casual players, and believe the game was better back when raiding was still "hardcore". This is where it overcrosses with the Nostalgia Filter; since some of these same people were complaining about spending months getting their characters attuned. Typically, it's a very bad financial decision to have a game that locks out a good 75+% of its gamers from content and only cater to that ≤25% of the playerbase, since players typically quit when there's nothing for them. (If you're one of the elitists, then that's what you want.) A large proportion of the time some people spend on message boards is taken up by claiming Blizzard's subscription figures are bogus and thus the game is not as popular as it is claimed to be, because xyzabcblahblahblah . Well-reasoned legal arguments with copious citations have not stopped this train of thought.
During early years of the game, Pandarens were one of the races most desired as playable by the fans. Two Kung Fu Panda movies later and the announcement of Pandarens has been met with immense ridicule. Kung Fu Panda isn't just a good movie—it's a good kung fu movie. The title isn't pandering, because the film truly respects its source material. Jack Black's character may as well be Sammo Hung or Jackie Chan in one of his early roles.
All of the classical elements are there—an obnoxious pupil who becomes a fighting machine. A team of animal-based martial artists with varying styles. An unbeatable, rampaging villain in the vein of the Ghost-Faced Killer from Mystery of Chessboxing. And a secret technique that the hero needs to learn in order to conquer that villain. It's a funny, vibrant film as easily enjoyed by children as adults, and one that the adult viewers should feel no embarrassment for enjoying as much as they do. If you like classical martial arts filmmaking, Kung Fu Panda is probably the most faithful animated twist on the genre that anyone has pulled off so far.
Too bad the same can't be said of its overblown sequels. As demand increases, breeding increases which leads to more inbreeding and genetic problems also leads to less responsible breeding and puppy mills. One widely-publicised example was when the 1996 live-action remake of 101 Dalmatians and its sequel was released. Similar concerns about well-meaning owners joining in on "pet fads" and eventually abandoning them may have led Phineas and Ferb series creators Dan Povenmire and Jeff "Swampy" Marsh to portray Perry as a platypus owing to its relative obscurity compared to mainstream animals. There's also the series itself as a whole, which quickly eclipsed every traditional fighting game in popularity, sales, and mainstream awareness and has never stopped doing that. The issue is even more pronounced with fighting game fans in Japan, for many of whom Smash Bros. is classified as an "Unmentionable," meaning the mere acknowledgement of the existence of Smash Bros., even indirectly, is frowned upon.
Persona 5 deserves special mention, as while P3 and P4 were successful with JRPG fans, P5's social commentary-laden storyline and stylish UI led to it becoming a massive hit with mainstream audiences, including some who otherwise hate all JRPGs on principle. As such, there's a portion of P5's player-base who hasn't touched another game in the series and has no intention to, causing it to get this treatment even from P3 and P4 fans. Ultimate is often blamed for triggering this Newbie Boom, accusing it of damaging the game's otherwise positive reception and leading Persona 5 to become a frequent target of Hype Backlash and Hype Aversion. Muse has suffered a lot of this since the release of Black Holes And Revelations, and to a lesser extent since Absolution. Muse were considered very cool when they were indie artists on their first two albums, Showbiz and Origin Of Symmetry, and reached their peak when they hit the mainstream with Absolution. By the time Black Holes came out, it was considered a disappointment because the singles released from it were pop songs rather than rock.
This happens a lot, in fact, if an album is represented by the songs which are atypical for the album itself. Ever since "Supermassive Black Hole" was featured in the first Twilight series film, you can't go to a Muse video on YouTube without fanboys shrieking about Twilight fans liking Muse due to said song in movie. Sad, because while Twilight is a polarizing series, almost everyone likes Muse. Puella Magi Madoka Magica takes Magical Girl shows and adds a toxic dose of Darker and Edgier. Its popularity exploded even while it originally ran in 2011 and only more so after it came out "shafted" on Blu-ray and got story expansions in the form of manga, CDs, and movies - only to create a massive Hatedom that exists on near-exclusively this trope here.
The general debate about the anime usually dealt with its overall style, with fans classifying it as a Deconstruction and basically everyone else suggesting otherwise. The popularity of Madoka Magica, along with Psycho-Pass and ufotable's adaption of the Fate/Zero light novels, made Gen Urobuchi a highly recognizable name to otaku. Fans introduced to his works through these three works conflict with his older fans, the latter group states he hasn't made anything good since Saya no Uta (a Urobuchi-written nitro+ visual novel from 2003). At least a small portion of his fanbase feels that these newbies often ignore the writer's pre-2011 works as much as his style. A Vocal Minority of anime/manga fans opposes Urobuchi's works for being dark, expensive, overrated, and popular, with general negative criticism going to both Urobuchi and Madoka. Urobuchi's haters are dismayed when they see any indication of his involvement in any projects, resulting in Hype Backlash.
There exists the possibility of a fan quickly growing tired of anything related to his works as a result of discovering information about his popularity boost, but that has occurred less frequently since the Madoka craze ended. There is a ton of high-quality educational content online to read and educational games available for all age groups. The key is in both moderation of screen time and taking part in the activity with your kids. Photo by Bruce MarsKids these days have many options to read, watch and play on screens.
Young children spend 2 hours and 19 minutes daily watching TV, watching online videos and playing computer video games. This grows to an average of 4 hours and 36 minutes by the time they are teenagers. It's always a good idea to be friends with your kids on social media, but every kid is different and some need their space which is why only 53% of parents are friends on social media. Close to 60% of their screen time is divided among listening activities such as music and podcasts (19% of the time), messaging and social media activities (19% of the time) and browsing (19% of the time).
When enjoying activities in real life, make sure at least half the time is spent social media free enjoying the moment. Otherwise, children and adults alike should be spending their time in real life with friends, sports, playing, working and with family aiming for at least 60 minutes of physical activity per day. James Cameron has made many critically acclaimed films, but it seems that to many on the Internet and even on TV Tropes, the more viewers his films get, the worse the film is. If it's popular enough, the film is placed in the same class as a Michael Bay film.
Titanic at first actually got a decent amount of public and critical acclaim. The backlash set in both after it was clear it was going to make hundreds of millions, becoming the highest-grossing film of all time until Avatar came out, and the loads of Oscar nominations and wins it got. At the same time, it was subject to Hype Backlash by people who consider the film flash over substance; a series of well-done set pieces offset by cardboard cutout characters. Look at the The Avengers, or really any popular Superhero film from the last decade or so. Chances are, you will find vocal fans of the source material that absolutely hate the publicity and popularity the franchise has received in light of getting a movie adaptation.
For instance, it's not uncommon to hear Marvel fans complaining about how they have to put up with a bunch of kids and "fangirls" because of the popularity of the MCU. Some complain because the popularity of the MCU has affected the comic universe. Now Nick Fury has been replaced by Nick Fury, Jr., whose name wasn't even Nick Fury initially, but he is Fury's illegitimate son, and also half-black, meaning they can have a counterpart to the Samuel L. Jackson version from the films. For that matter, the Hulk has rejoined the team after decades of hating them, and Phil Coulson has officially become a canon immigrant.

Only be friends online with people you know in real life, not to share passwords with friends and discuss usage limits. While you may be friends with your kids on some social media accounts, there is a growing trend of teenagers creating separate accounts under false identities, commonly referred to as Finsta, to create a limited circle of friends. As a result of social media, it's far easier for our kids to create, maintain and develop relationships with out of town family members. 23% of young children have their own social media accounts, which is surprising considering Facebook requires children to be at least 13 years of age before creating their own account and it's against their terms of service to create an account on behalf of someone under the age of 13. Undertale took off in popularity almost as soon as it launched, making it one of the most popular games of 2015 and also winning the GameFAQs Best Game Ever bracket.
A lot of people who don't care for the game or hate it outright are angry that any video featuring the game can rise beyond one million views and they also accuse some people covering/playing the game just to get more hits. Not only is the game popular overall, but it's also very popular within the furry fandom. Because of this, people often view the fanbase as atrocious and full of furries.
Tales of Symphonia is starting to get this treatment. Word of mouth (plus high exposure due to being a huge RPG on the RPG-starved Gamecube) led to it being a big seller and award-winner, and for the first time a lot of gamers outside of Japan started looking into the series. Fast-forward six or seven years and now the Tales Series has a lot of embittered older fans who are mad that the newer games in the series are bigger sellers and more popular than the pre-Symphonia cult classics that were the early games. And it's all blamed on Symphonia's breakout popularity.
It's gotten to the point that fans of other genres instantly write off rap due to how commercialized it is, and label its fans as ignorant people manipulated by the masses, even though that is certainly not always the case. Doesn't help that core hip-hop/Rap fans kinda share the same cynical opinion about modern Rap/Hip-Hop. Queen, particularly in the years after Freddie Mercury's passing, where their most famous works skyrocketed in popularity with their use in films, commercials, sports events and random Internet memes. The trope, however, most likely began to take effect as early as 1974 when "Killer Queen" started climbing the charts.
We Will Rock You and Bohemian Rhapsody have only intensified the sentiment amongst older fans. Jonny Davy confessed to feeling this way about Job for a Cowboy during the height of their fame. Co-headlining with Behemoth and being billed above Hate Eternal with just one album was a particularly big sore spot for him, as he loved both bands and felt that he should have had to pay his dues supporting them. DragonForce shows you don't have to do much to get this treatment by allowing the use of "Through the Fire and Flames" as a bonus track for Guitar Hero III. Fans at first praised its inclusion, and it would seem that this trope was averted. Then the game came out, and the cries of "Sellout!" came with it.
Seriously, just go on to any video of the band on YouTube, either their music videos, their live performances, or their interviews and count how many comments read along the lines of "I liked Dragon Force before Guitar Hero. This happened to Harry Potter with the massive turnout for Order of the Phoenix — many "fans" assumed J. K. Rowling could get away with writing absolute crap from then on. However, they didn't so much drop the fandom as stick around to complain about everything, thus proving their worth as True Fans.
Happened to a lesser extent with the influx of new fans the film brought, but the fact that most of them read the books anyway reassured the original fanbase somewhat. It has slowly started to happen to one of its characters. Not to the protagonist, Harry Potter himself, as one would guess, but to the Trope Namer of Draco in Leather Pants, Draco Malfoy, to the point that some say that the only reason he is popular is because of the actor who played him.
This being Transformers fandom, a Broken Base if ever there was one, there's also a very vocal segment that runs counter to this trope, and cheered every time it topped charts. Transformers is somewhat a subversion as more fans were happy with the movies success as it made the franchise relevant again in the eyes of the public. More relevance means more plastic (and even better, more die-cast metal), which has always made 'True Fans' happy even if they despised the related series. Vampire Knight started as a modest shoujo manga about teenage vampires, until it inexplicably became one of the most popular manga in America. Since then, many fans of modest shoujo avoid it like the plague due to its rampant popularity at the time.
Many original fans believed the only reason for its huge popularity in America is because of the film Twilight, even though the Manga and Anime were both out before the first film in the Twilight series was released. Even the most popular manga, One Piece, has fallen subject to this. It is the best selling manga in history and the third best selling comic book of all times. It's also been consistently popular all over the world for almost two decades.
Naturally, some people are taken aback by this popularity and consider the series overrated. My Hero Academia is another flagship Shōnen series that gained its fame starting in the middle of The New '10s, and being claimed as among the best anime series of that decade that gets more popular with each passing season. So it was only a matter of time before the series would suffer Hype Backlash due to its popularity and prominence. On a character-related note, this is how some fans feel about Katsuki Bakugo. Life of Jolie is a series of funny comics started by 21-year-old Norwegian artist Johanne Lid. In her comics, the artist pokes fun at various everyday situations, and I'm pretty sure most of our readers will be able to relate to them.

"And as an adult- well, I still do." This multidisciplinary artist has shared her autobiographical childhood comics with the internet, and they perfectly capture the innocent fun of being a kid. Drawing my first comic in years was the spark that reignited my love for the art form. From there, I started drawing punny Pokémon-themed comics and then eventually comics about my daily life. After weeks of drawing a character that looked a lot like myself, I came up with my green-haired space bun design and the rest is kind of history. Jane said the idea to start The Pigeon Gazette came to her naturally.
"It was that classic thing where everyone keeps telling you 'Oh, you should make comics' or 'post your art online' and I tried a few times," the artist told Bored Panda. What's most distinguishable about Bad Trip is the way that it depicts the public which it interacts with. The film never aims to humiliate or dehumanize its subjects—instead of being disparaged or mocked in the name of comedy, bystanders are portrayed as more of a righteous tribunal than mere crabs in a barrel. This ability to invoke public reaction—with no rubric for hardline emotions that the actors must elicit—is what allows the fabric of Bad Trip's humor to shine through. It's this spectrum of varied emotion that is woven into the very fabric of the film, giving it an overtly genuine tone. At times it is even surprisingly heartwarming, with good samaritans stepping in to talk characters off of ledges and break up public quarrels.

Even scarier, 46 children are sold into labor and sex trafficking in the U.S. every day and it often starts with conversations through social media and other messaging apps.

It's important to understand and educate our kids on the curated versus real life truths of the selfie world. They used to make comparatively tiny cars that were practical, fuel efficient, and sporty, all at the same time.
