| Intrinsic said: the "internet gaming community". Key word here being "internet". It actually all feeds into what I would call "internet culture". Its a sensationalist culture. one that feels everything has to be exaggerated to have an impact. Little things are made big and big things are made epic. This is why doom or bad topics are more popular on the internet. Its also why people feel the need to be abusive or insulting to others. Its not about being anonymous, its just all an inherent need to be noticed or acknowledged. |
You hit the nail on the head.
This seems to have been compounded by the fact that we now have more "adults" than ever who were born AFTER the internet went public. Some of us remember the days before the internet. Some people here don't. And I think that makes a difference in how you act, and how you set your expectations. The instant gratification and the social media and the tweets and the likes and all that other bullshit has done very little but turn internet users into a bunch of spoiled brats. I can see a huge difference today than even 3-4 years ago. Things have gotten considerably worse.
