Curious, do you have any examples? I think I've seen this behavior before that you're talking about, but I'm not very familiar with the cartoon world. Are you talking like TV cartoons or web cartoons or what?

More broadly, some fandoms seem extremely possessive of certain ideas or portrayals of a creator's own characters, to the point where the harass and threaten the creators to make the fandom's popular conceptions become part of the story canon.

I have heard of that one, I have had a few people recommend it to me but have never been much of a cartoon person. Now I am tempted to go look up examples of the kind of behavior OP's talking about with Legend of Korra, lol.

I watch a lot of cartoons and It happens quite often but what triggers me is Miraculous Ladybug fandom. I don't know why would someone watch a show just to complain about it and I literally need to argue with someone if I state that I like the show and I think it's good. There's literally a video on YouTube called "How would I rewrite Miraculous" but I haven't watched it all because it's just a gender snowflake talking about things she doesn't like about the show. I feel very bad for the creator but I admire him dearly for how he sticks up to his work and opinions and how he's amune to the herassment. ("Woke" people tried to push a Muslim character into the show)

Will take a look, interesting. That sounds very frustrating. I feel you though, there are a couple video games which I never talk about with people because I know the fanbases are really toxic, lol.
