Of course this was the Internet – even worse – Twitter, so it didn’t take long for the conversation around Detective Pikachu to descend into LITERAL hate speech.
Will the Pokémon fandom survive the fuzzy Pikachu mania? It’s looking rough, so far. Which side am I on? Well, of course I’m on the right side of history! (Whichever side that is)
