Caine Vs Alastor is a perfect example of this community gate keeping an opinion on a matchup

I really like Caine Vs Alastor, I think it's a fine matchup, I like both shows, both characters, and would really enjoy seeing Alastor and Caine interact with each other, however the people that get so mad about it makes it really difficult to say you want or like it, if the people that hate on this matchup so much straight up quit being this loud about it then there would probably a bunch of people that would admit they like the matchup.

This community has a decent amount of people, it makes it tough to like a matchup when the most popular members of that community dislike a matchup loud and clear and people follow suit, and don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with disliking a matchup, its just that when theres this many people that despise a matchup and make it really clear, it gets annoying, a mod made a post announcing that they're making a pitch for Caine Vs Alastor and any comments that showed any level of support get downvoted while all the comments that make jokes and hate on the mu get upvoted

The community is cool and the people are really cool, please don't misunderstand me! I just had to talk about this cause its so ridiculous to me, this is basically the same reason Monika might not get on the show just like Caine Vs Alastor meaning pretty much anyone that does like the matchup get to just stand there and watch one of their favorite matchups lose their chance of getting on the show, the matchup quite literally at its worst is decent.
