And what's really ironic is that "Whedonism" didn't infect that much of media or pop culture. That's of people going overboard on the hatred of anything Marvel or Marvel adjacent. I remember some people trying to hate on DMC5's dialogue before the game even came out. Even though The franchise has been doing quips and one liners since day one. A lot of fans were able to shut these people down and call them out.
Cringe is the new overuse/misuse ff the word epic. Whenever a youtube video has cringe and bold riding on a thumbnail, I immediately ignore it, because It's usually an overreaction or something that it's not even close to "cringe".
What I noticed too, is that a lot of these people hate on anything new and are are nostalgic for the old, but do not want to admit it. They'll make exceptions if it fits their narrow world view, but we've seen where that leads.
That's what I dislike about crrent audience and nerdom. It's people hating on anything that's just average or mediocre like they're the worst thing ever. It either has to be perfect, bad, or "so bad it's good" (which people on youtube try to force most of the time). I can live with something being average or just decent. I don't need every single piece of media to be some masterpiece or failure that needs to burn in hell.
Besides the real war crimes in video games are the publishers that continue to use seasons passes, cut games into bite size pieces that used to be bonus modes, and all the confusing "Special Dumbass Cocksuckers Editions" companies like Ubisoft keep putting out.
