A new pokemon game for switch/switch2 came out (Pokemon Legends Z-A)
Lots of gamergate smell wafting around gamer reddit, particularly regarding conspiracy theories about reviews. Dudes being completely unhinged that it isn't whatever version they played when they were 10 years old but with AAA graphics. Real normal stuff to reply about 100x in a day.
It could just be me being defensive about a thing my kids like lol.
It's just that my intuition nudges me when I come across that variety of authoritarian confidently incorrect guy who can't imagine people liking things that they dont like (or vice versa), and who will move worlds to enforce their one true take. It feels like they're everywhere, fueling most dumb internet social movements. It's like it could be a small piece of a General Theory of Weird Online Assholes.
The phenomenon rhymes with Musk Reply Guys, Music Experts Who Hate Taylor Swift Professionally, Claude Code Evangelists, and Star Wars Fandom.

Edit: also thanks for the explainer!
A hackernews claiming to be a cerebras insider is calling schenanigans. Not sure how trustworthy of a source this is, but the replies may be interesting.
God, the faces. Why don't the boosters see how wrong the expressions are? Especially the videos, half the time they look like serial killers who are about to sneeze.
