It’s the Avatar effect. A very small number of group-thinking pessimists being very very loud and active make it sound like a lot of negativity toward a TV show, film, game, or in this case a gaming console. Positive people tend not to talk about their opinions much online because their comments are bombarded by the cynical pessimists like a swarm of piranhas. The reality is that it’s just a small portion, amplified, because of social media. But, when you look at all the Star Wars assholes, the anti-Avatar people, the anti-Witcher people, the anti-[insert name of just about any popular IP-based TV Show, film, or other media], they’re all mostly the same people. If they like something, it’s usually because it’s old or they haven’t heard the other group-think pessimists complaining yet.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
