While fans love the Netflix series "Cobra Kai," (https://www.looper.com/307292/the-untold-truth-of-cobra-kai/) there's also plenty to complain about. Whether it's the constant, seemingly 24-hour karate classes that take place, or the ridiculously toxic attitudes of its hyper-masculine teachers (and some students), or the absurdity and outrageousness that is John Kreese (https://www.looper.com/264515/why-john-kreese-from-cobra-kai-is-even-worse-than-fans-thought/), there's plenty to nitpick online. So who would have thought that some on Reddit have a problem with the show's ... fanbase?
That's right, there's a thread on Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/cobrakai/comments/sjf8zk/the_biggest_problem_in_this_fandom/) dedicated to this frustration — not with the many aspects of the show that are fun, interesting, or exasperating to its fans, but with the response of some of the fans themselves. The series, a modern revamping of the classic "Karate Kid" movies, has received both critical and audience praise (https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/cobra_kai) since its 2018 debut, but now, some are expressing disappointment with the very community that has sprung up around the show's success.
