    Yeah I think in this case the few noisy ones managed to create an atmosphere online early on where people assumed the series was bad and gave up on it - causing low numbers for the episodes that followed.

      That’s probably an aspect, but likely there weren’t enough people talking about it because most who did though it was mediocre at best.

      For a franchise this popular, a few noisy bigots won’t stop people from seeing it. If anything, it draws more attention to the show. You can see this with shows that are actually good.
