As I go about in the world, I notice how sharply divided most fans are when it comes to their favorite franchises. Among these are fans of Pokémon, Digimon, Ninja Turtles, The Land Before Time, Star Wars, Thomas & Friends, Power Rangers, My Little Pony, stuff made by Disney, stuff Wizard of Oz related, Marvel Comics related, Sonic the Hedgehog, even Alvin and the Chipmunks and Transformers.
Look, I know most of you are either open-minded about these franchises or are very opinionated about the original source material, but when it comes to these franchises that I've listed off, I'm on nobody's side. I'm as neutral as you can get, and I try to go with these franchises with an open mind, and that includes shipping between characters, like either AshXMisty or AshXSerena shipping when it comes to Pokémon. I for one like AshXSerena because it's slightly similar to the relationship between Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable in that Ash and Serena have a history even before the main Pokémon anime series even started, and though it's been a while since they last saw each other, I still think it's cute to see them together, even though I still think it was a poor decision to have Serena cut her hair.
As for the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, I never watched the shows from the 90s, and even if I did, I still wouldn't like the SonicXSally shipping that was present in one of those shows. Maybe if Sally was of the same species as Sonic, or if Amy Rose was in the show and portrayed a similar role that Sally had, maybe I would like the show. But right now, the only character from the 90s shows I seem to like is Dulcy the dragon.
As for Thomas & Friends, the writing for seasons 1 to 7 was good, seasons 8 to 12 were a mixed bag, most episodes for seasons 13 to 16 were bad, but with seasons 17 to 19 it seems they're doing good again.
As for Star Wars, well, what's there to talk about? I don't care if fans complain about the stuff in movies 1 to 3, and I don't even care if fans complain about most of if not all the changes made in movies 4 to 6. Bottom line, I enjoyed these movies - END OF STORY!
As for Alvin and the Chipmunks, well who cares if the Chipmunks and Chipettes looked like actual chipmunks in the live-action movies? I sure don't. And I don't even care if in the new TV series they aren't as tall as their 60s to 80s counterparts. For me at the end of the day, they're still the same characters, and Dave is still the same father figure for them.
As for Transformers, well, I don't care what ANY of you people think of the films. I liked the designs of the movie Autobots and movie Decepticons, and seeing a version of Devastator who walked like a gorilla was a breath of fresh air from the usual combiners who stand completely upright like the Megazords in Power Rangers.

So before ANY of you people decide to poke fun at me for actually liking stuff that you may not like, maybe you should watch this video by Alex Yu of Ragin' Nation who talks about how sharply divided the Transformers fandom is-
