It’s the internet. I think the better question is: What isn’t blown way out of proportion? MKWorld is *ruined* by intermission courses, DKBananza is *ruined* by its screen shake elements which cause a very small sect of players to experience motion sickness, Kirby Air Riders is *ruined* because some people find the controls too simple, etc.

Yes, it's the nature of social media. Its algorithms prop up negativity and outrage because those things get clicks and... well... outrage. Best to remember that when running across said offenders and move on. Better yet to just ditch social media altogether lol. 

I’m starting to learn that, yeah, you just gotta ignore these people. PC gamers dominate online discourse is also something I’ve begun to notice. Leads to consoles game such as Astro Bot, SM2, FFVIIRB, TotK, etc etc etc., receiving an overwhelming wave of negativity, whereas games like Elden Ring, BG3, and E33 are treated as Ocarina of Time if it were released in the 2020s.
