TF.NET a few years ago was likethat. If you go on there now and take an honest look around, there is PT bashing everywhere. What you once could get banned for, you are now allowed to state in less than tactful terms.

One person made a thread on things that bothered them about ANH. Someone came in and said something like "Nobody with a Jar-Jar Binks icon gets to state their problems with ANH." The person who said that wasn't chastized or even admonished for it. I don't agree with that person really, but my point still stands. Even go into the PT section, and you'll see that only a handful are actually "gushers". It seems many of the gushers are doing their own personal retrospectives and seeing the objective flaws about the whole PT. Not all, but enough to raise an eyebrow.

If you go out and take a survey on a crowded street, I'm pretty sure the consensus will be OT > PT. So a bunch of kids tune in to the Clone Wars cartoon. That too is probably a passing trend. Inconsequential. As those kids get older they're going to realize that the only reasons they even came close to liking it is the fact it's a cartoon and that it had lightsabers.
