Is it? Yes.
Should it be? No.
Sadly not everyone has the brains to figure that out, even on here.

I think some people do it because they are sick and tired of hearing about it.
That makes no sense at all. If you really
really dislike something then the last thing you want is to hear more about it, by bitching you are bringing it up and also going to cause people do disagree with you, continuing the discussion about it.
If you dislike something strongly enough then you try not to think about it.

I don't get the mentality here. Why is hating a popular game "cool"? If I hate a game it's because I hate the game. Mortal Kombat, for example, even in it's heyday sucked ass in my book. I don't feel that way because I wanted to be cool, I just hated the game and everything in it.
I just don't understand the thinking here... sorry.
I don't get how you can't understand it. He is not saying that
everyone who hates a game does it to be cool, but there most certainly are those that do.
A game gets hated by a popular person, maybe with a trilby, and all of a sudden you can't go into a thread without somebody bitching about the game using almost exactly the same words.

The old 'shit must be good, because a million flies cannot be wrong' adage can get VERY annoying sometimes.
True, but that's the opposite extreme, which is just as bad.
