User blog comment:Craiglpalmer/Wikia is now Fandom powered by Wikia/@comment-4083900-20160926232908/@comment-29826282-20160926234338

"I hope you agree after reading this that Fandom is a great term...most of you agree it's a good one..."

Forgive me, but that seems a poor response to legitimate complaints regarding the term's negative connotations, particularly when users have gone to such lengths in the comments section to illustrate how "fandom" could be misconstrued as negative. I understand and support Wikia's desire to rebrand itself, but the rationale for this choice of term seems rather shaky.
