@slimgrin I mean, just look at these reactionaries online getting infuriated because cultural criticism is catching up to the gaming industry and people are just now finally starting to look at some games and say "okay these are fun and all but they're also pretty sexist". And a lot of people are just livid because they take a criticism on their hobby as a criticism on them. It's the same situation where people are unable to reconcile media and identity and get unabashedly defensive (except in the case I've mentioned it's much worse because so many female journalists have received myriads of death threats and worse for daring to look at video games in a wider context). People can get really scary with things they like.
