What's up with hatedoms?

[apathy]

I genuinely do not understand, why gamers commit themselves both time and money, to hating on a video game or video game franchise, of which they've never played and never will, but will try to shame anyone who does enjoy it.

When I was child, kids in school only wanted to know about, and play, the good games. If it was sh*t, unplayable, untested mess, then no one cared.

I noticed this behaviour since Undertale, so my reckoning was at the time, they hate it because its popular, but it goes further than that. Its not even just spoiled entitlement when gamers are b*tching that they are not the target demographic of the game - how dare the dev.

No, I think they are insane.

Just dab on dem haiders.

Contrarians rarely make much sense. Least of all the ones that sit on a computer all day.

Social media. Forums. In the before times there was no way to spread the hatred. Now there is.

Undertale is something of a unique example, sort of like FNF would be. It's the fanbase.

I don't see many people commit money to hating on a game either, unless I'm forgetting something.

I mean, what's another example? Most of the time people have a good reason.

Cause it's fun to think you have a say in something, when you don't. Most games have more spyware then micrSo$t and Boogle combined.

I usually hate something when I tried it, or when the developers/publisher try to pull a fast one or do cheap cashgrab.

Only scenario that I hate games before trying it is when I encounter toxic fanbase.

This. I love the Fallout games. I wanted to buy Fallout 4 when it first released. Something I never do. I thought it would be fun to engage with all the other new users. Finding out things for the first time. But the forum was a toxic wasteland of flame wars. So I waited until there was a GOTY edition and then it went on sale.

it's called "democracy" aka "freedom to hate speech"

Does it interest me?
No? Not my cup of tea.
Yes? I'll give it a try, I might like it or not.
I like to give a try to things. Open-mindedness is key.

Here is a good tip; separate the franchise from the fan base. This will save you the hassle.

Hating on a developer, a publisher, a CEO, a platform or a game is a total waste of time and effort on your behalf. Time better spend levelling up your own life. If you don't like a company, then simply don't do business with them but leave it at that.

[Xero_Daxter]

If I hate/dislike something I wouldn’t waste my breath talking about it unless asked. If anything I would stay faaaaaar away from it.

[Tiberius]

Yea but i still think undertale was overrated af tho

[Birds]

God's too insecure to like things, but doesn't want to be alone in hating everything.
