On the maturity, or lack, of the fanbase: This is an interesting complaint but one I think is rooted in wishful thinking for something that probably never existed. Bleach is a comic book aimed at boys. Boys tend toward the immature. The fact that many people across different age groups have found something to love in Bleach is a credit to Kubo but doesn't change the target audience. That said most Bleach fans find their own little niches in the fanbase where they can find equitable discussion. Those are the real fan communities, not the fanbase as a whole.

About the rest: I've nothing in particular to say for or against here. The observations are pretty solid if not revelatory.
