I hate when some nerd says "You just don't like [new entry in franchise] because it's not like [old entry in franchise]"
Yea? And?
When the pizza place stops selling pizza I think I get to be at least a little grumpy that it's not selling pizza anymore.
Feb 6, 2026 03:08I think that's a symptom of internet discourse where folks don't delve into the nuance of their opinions on either side.
"This wasn't exactly the same therefore it sucks" is different from "It was alright but I would've preferred something more like the old game"
And because both opinions could be conveyed with "I wish it was like the old game" you have folks reading what they want out of it because the source of your reasoning is absent, so they address the version of the opinion they think you have.
