A lot of people are saying that it attacks or trolls fans of the original series, but no one has given a specific example of it. In what ways have they attacked fans of the original? Example of them mocking themselves as well while also taking the piss out of it Both of those seemed like they were making fun of Teen Titans Go as opposed to insulting the original fans. Control Freak even says he shouldn't have rebooted it, and the Teen Titans are all enthralled by how great it is when they watch it.

I er, I thought both of those clips were entertaining as hell. They showed reverence for all versions while also taking the piss out of all versions as well. Hell, Young Justice even got a Dino Riders reference in there of all things. First clip was almost exactly like Batmite on Brave and the Bold. Those are what pissed people off?

The hate on here is mild compared to the TVTropes page, where TTG is apparently the worst thing Western culture has ever produced...but I can't help but think of this every single time I hear people getting bent out of shape about a show like this....

The entire episode the Return of Slade is basically mocking fans of the old show.
And then more or less saying things don't have to be good if they are for children, and nothing made for kids holds up.
I'm not someone who hates Go, but they absolutely do mock fans of the old show.

I think it gets way too much hate. It seems to be the cool thing to crap all over Teen Titans Go. Let's face it, it's not aimed at you. It's aimed at kids with little jokes that are supposed to amuse parents that watch it. Well, if hating on TTG is cool, then I'm proud to be in that clique. Maybe you should find better things to be upset over? It's a kids cartoon. Life is so much more than a kids show.

Oh, I got much better things on my plate. This is what happens when you're unemployed; you have too much time on your plate.

Yes, in order to get full context just watch the show I've said before Go is harmless and gets too much hate sometimes but they do mock fans in a playful way sometimes but also in a troll-ish way I mean they've openly admitted in the show that because this is a kids show they can do whatever they want

I can totally see why someone wouldn't be a fan of Teen Titans GO. CN does beat it into the ground awfully hard. Hell, I reviewed an episode for the main site. I wasn't very positive.
But some people's hatred of this show comes off a bit....intense at times. I think the writing is pretty hit or miss generally, and I'm not fond of how the network has handled its scheduling either. Lord knows I wish they'd give Steven Universe the same amount of advertising. But it's got a following, and I'm not about to shame its fans for enjoying it.

It's okay to not like something but when you act like it ruins your life is when the line is crossed. Same for the people who shield their eyes to want to like something or criticize you because "the show isn't for you" CN has gone way overboard with this show and hardly ever advertise anything besides that which makes shit worse if you are a fan of Steven Universe, Adventure Time (essentially any show that started off goofy and became good with a storyline). CN always has a up and down period and they are back in somewhat of a down period with a lot of their marquee shows ending or about to end but TTG can't obviously last forever. It's cheap for them to make and they see a profit but give it another year or two and you won't be seeing it as heavily advertised like this

One of the things that really gets to fans of the old show is that the old show never got a proper ending before its sudden cancellation. Those fans are still rabid for a conclusion to the character arcs and stories they were enjoying. So to have another animated Teen Titans show with the exact same cast of voice actors, and then for it to be a comedy show that disregards all of that and even takes potshots at them for not liking what they were offered; it's really kind of incredibly petty for the creators to do that to them. (They even cancelled the Teen Titans TAS comic and replaced it with with a Teen Titans Go! comic lol)
Edit: Which isn't to say Teen Titan's Go! is a bad show (though I do think it has incredibly dark shit and needs to lay off shitting on people for liking the old show more). It's funny at times from what I've watched of it. The best episode IMO is the one where Robin beats Kid Flash in a race by clubbing him in the knees (but again, it's kind of f***ed up for a show aimed at little kids isn't it?).

The only thing I liked from TTG has been "The Night Begins To Shine"
Just the song. It's a good song.

I rather like Go from the bits I've seen of it, although I was never a fan of the original, so that probably plays into this. Plus, I found this funny:
