AFTV Media; A part of the fanbase, or a toxic waste?
[Thread]
[Thread]
First of all, I would like to apologize on behalf of our fanbase on what Claude said. We apologize to Son and everyone offended by the racial slur Claude said while Son was being subbed off during the North London derby.
AFTV Media has caused many controversies throughout the years of its existence. Since the day it was made, till now, AFTV is actually one of the most hated YouTube channels in our own fanbase despite them being a part of us.
However, just because they support the same club we do, that doesn't mean we claim them. 95% of our fans don't like AFTV and here are the reasons.
1- Overreacting:
If you've been watching AFTV arsenal matches' watch alongs, you'd realize that some of their reactions are way too far. Starting from when we score or concede a goal, ending in us winning or losing. Their reactions seem fake just to get views, nothing more.

2- Racism:
Everyone now knows of what Claude has done when Heung Min Son was being subbed off during the NLD. What he said was too offensive, especially for Asians. And another incident happened, where Troopz mentioned Kane's skin color and it's alright or something like that

Either way, we do NOT claim them. Our club has always been known for being one of the most peaceful, respectful and and classy football clubs out there, the same goes to our un-racist fanbase, where racist incidents rarely happen.
3- Abusing our own players:
It's fine to criticize your own players when not doing well, but it is NEVER fine to hate on them and abuse them. Rather than highlighting on some of our player's bad performances, they take it way too far and start abusing them, non-stopping

For example, Shkodran Mustafi, Granit Xhaka, Sead Kolasinac, David Luiz, Hector Bellerin, and the list goes on
4- Using our losses for money:
One of the reasons why Lee Gunner is no longer on AFTV, is his incident after a livestream where he was laughing at our loss, calculating the money they get after our losses, and basically insulting Bellerin for exposing them.

5- Toxicity, negativity and delusion:
AFTV have been spreading a lot of toxicity in our fanbase. They were the ones who started abusing Wenger and made Wenger Out campaigns. And not just that, some of their people's delusion brings mockery to our club, we just don't accept that.

There are still far many more reasons than these, but if I wanna continue, I won't stop until tomorrow. In the end, I just want to clarify that we as the Arsenal fanbase don't claim them in any single way, and whatever comes out from them simply doesn't represent us nor our club.
