There's something that I've kind of noticed over the past few months. It's that whenever there's a massive outcry against a developer or some change in a game, like the death threats over that recent Call of Duty patch, people commonly say something along the lines of "Well, Call of Duty fans are a bunch of immature and psychotic 14 year olds." It's not an overwhelming thing that happens every day, but I still want to talk about it. I'm just going to come out and say it, no, no they are not. There is a vocal minority in Call of Duty fans that act like this. A fanbase of a game is not a hive mind that acts with absolute unity. I'm pretty sure that all of us have played a game that we really, REALLY like that had at least one asshole online make the overall fanbase of the game look worse. I think we all need to remember that all members of a fanbase are not reflected in the comments of a vocal minority.
Just please keep that in mind. I like Halo but there are more than a few assholes in the fanbase. I think most of us are Fallout fans but we don't like No Mutants Allowed make us think that we're all like that. The moral I'm trying to get across is, judge a person by their personal actions, not the fanbase that they're a part of.
