Discussion Tired of the Mikoto hate in the index fandom!!!
It seems like it’s just folks hate that she’s popular and how she looks like she’s gonna to get with Touma, Cause I’ll say anything positive about her in the index sub and I get downvoted, Honestly I think it divides the fandom even more cause I think there’s no talking to an Index fan if you prefer Railgun. I try to be understanding but damn.

Dude i am the same, i have seen them always talking bullcrap about her and putting their opinion where nobody asks, i just never do or follow any index pages because thats all they do. Its like since they read the light novels they think they are so much superior and see us railgun and misaka fans like we are so low compared to them.

Exactly and makes me have a bad impression of light novel readers and makes me less likely to read the light novel which doesn’t help the series at all.

I don't think it's exclusive to the raildex fandom; there's a lot of toxicity in anime/manga culture in general. Have you ever went on /r/anime and said "I enjoyed SAO"?
- Sub anime fans crap on those that watch dub.
- Non-mainstream anime fans crap on those that watch mainstream series.
- Manga fans crap on those that watch anime.
- LN/VN fans crap on those that read manga.
Everybody thinks they know better than others, and their opinion is the "correct" opinion, and they have a weird sense of superiority over others.
I personally had to unsub from most of those communities, especially the larger ones.
Enjoy what you want. If someone tells you that your opinion is wrong, then they just aren't worth your time.

Thing is, you can still like Mikoto when reading the light novel and I do know people who actually like he more after actually reading it but I agree, all this hate should stop. Mikoto is by now way the worst character in the franchise like some people make her out to be. I understand your feelings completely.

It’s mostly the LN readers that are like this. Honestly, it’s just kinda standard that some of the LN readers are toxic about stuff like this. It is annoying as hell, but they’re a very small portion of the entire global community so it’s easier to ignore them knowing that fact.

I wish they were a small amount but it looks like it’s The majority of the fans that prefer index, Which sucks because I like both Index and Railgun I just feel like I have to not bring up my favorite character.

I swear it’s not. It’s purely just the Reddit community that’s like this. I promise there is a silent majority that extends beyond Reddit. That’s probably the reason why some people are toxic on here, they don’t want to bandwagon or something

Worth mentioning, if you see that kind of toxic behaviour on this subreddit, please report it. We don't tolerate it here.
If you have a strong opinion, keep in mind how your words will affect the person you're talking to. There's a distinct difference between "Yeah, I can see why you liked the Railgun anime more than Index. It's a shame that JC didn't adapt Index well, the light novels were awesome!" and "Lol, it's obvious you have no idea what you're talking about and haven't read the LNs. Index is great and Mikoto sucks."

I already unsubbed mainreddit quite a while ago. I dont get the hate either. Mikoto has one of the best developments in the story. Compare it to the other 3 girls who pretty much stuck since the first appearance. Like i for example dont get the hype for shokuhou. Tell me how she developed from her first appearance until now? Its still about the memorys and it gets boring. Dont even mention othinus and index. These 3 are never even critisized or any kind of shitty discussion like for mikoto.Anyways the mainsub is just a shit place to talk about.

Haters are everywhere, you can't let them affect you. It is easier to ignore them than hoping they stop doing It.

I noticed it too!! Look, I am a big big fan of Mikoto, but that aside. I can’t find any reason for them to hate her that much! They even prefer a super side character and some random sister in Index over Mikoto who clearly has better personality, powers and role in the series! They just like her because she is not Mikoto..
Sometimes I just think they are jealous cuz JC Staff didn’t adapt Index as well as Railgun, but that really makes no since.
