Why Do Gamers Hate On Everything That's In?

Maybe social media makes it more normal for people to whinge about things they don't like?

I try to focus on things I do like rather than waste time complaining about stuff that doesn't get my interest (or that I have tried and disliked).

It just seems like a waste of time to tell strangers how you hate/dislike X or Y or Z. What's the point really, unless someone is asking directly? It's egotistical. I dislike Halo strongly, but I don't waste my time or other people's time repeatedly stating something that helps nobody and accomplishes nothing of value.

Agreed.

Many people I know want their views to be reinforced. So, they post a status on facebook for X wanting others to tell them how right and smart they are liking or disliking X.  

Every March with college basketball I have at least 1 or 2 people who cannot stand the fact people such as myself enjoy it and shout "I DON'T CARE!" in an attempt to make all of us shut up, because we exist solely for their amusement and any deviation is not allowed.
