One Shot: Talkin' Toxic Fandoms & Superfan Focus Groups with Fred of Derf Designs

Comicast

Fridays normally don't mean Comicast, but today is an exception. This special Comicast: One-Shot actually was part of the recording Michael and Fred of Derf Designs did earlier this week but the recording was so long they decided to split this part of the recording into it's own issue. The discussion today is all about Variety's recent article regarding toxic fandoms and how studios are combating them with help from superfan focus groups (excuse me, they're doing what now?). Find out what the guys think about that concept (dumb), dealing with online toxicity from fans, being hateful for clicks, and much more.
