Basically, you're wrong in your assessment.
Is there cynicism and negativity in gaming? Yes. Is that especially prevalent on the internet? Of course. But that's because EVERYTHING gets taken to the extreme on the internet. That's just how the beast works. It doesn't just apply to negativity. It's blind optimism and praise as well. Flip sides of the same coin.
How often do you see a truly neutral stance on something online? Hardly ever. Everyone leans to one extreme or the other. This applies not just to gaming but opinions about anything on the internet.
Best you accept it now, cus that'll never change
