Ben 10 #RestoreTheOmniverse hashtag tweet day tomorrow
-
@Tactical-Ochoa I saw a lot of people tweeting about it. It seemed like most of the tweets were coming from Brazil.

@coreofthesun I think it's fine to use the hashtag as long as people are being respectful using it. Unfortunately, some people are spamming it which is not ok in my opinion.

@cooljay7 I have no problems with people using the hashtag respectfully while tweeting as you said (even though I think that we should've waited for a while after the end of the reboot to start using it) - it's just that certain people are using it to be horrible to the people who work on Ben 10 and spamming it.

@coreofthesun I have yet to see people misuse the hashtag but if that is happening, I'm not surprised. It's never an ok thing to harass people and it should stop.
Other than that, something to take note of here is that stuff like this is a common occurrence in entertainment. When people don't like something, they express their criticism and disdain towards it and make demands like this regardless of how it makes the creators feel. If the creators feel like they're hurt over stuff like this, too bad. That's the reality of the entertainment industry. If you make a movie, show, video game, etc. that doesn't deliver, responses like this is what you get. Stuff like #RestoreTheOmniverse is a normal occurrence.
Make a good product, everyone's happy. Make a bad product, stuff like this happens. There's no beating around the bush with this. The harassment and bad behavior needs to stop because that's going to get us nowhere here. Everything, or almost everything, else that's going on with #RestoreTheOmniverse is pretty much normal.

@Tactical-Ochoa I'm not saying that criticism of something isn't justified, because feedback from the target demographic of a TV series, film, comic etc is always important because that's part of how the people at the helm improve the show. There's nothing wrong with criticising the reboot for its flaws in a constructive manner and suggesting possible improvements, but as you said toxicity does nothing except for act negatively on the mental health of the writers, artists and the rest of the crew.
I understand that this is a normal reaction and definitely not the biggest fan movement in recent times which has resulted in people going too far. It's just that I believe that the fans should be more respectful and understand the creators more.

@coreofthesun Agree.
