i'm seeing three times as many people bitching in the tag about the very idea that someone might not like this breed than i see people actually expressing unambiguous dislike for this breed

#the preemptive counter-bitchers are consistently orders of magnitude meaner and more uncharitable about it too #like i'm convinced at this point these people just have these counter-bitches ready to go on launch regardless of actual reception #it's starting to feel like they just fill out a generic “what moral failing can i accuse the potential idea of dislikers of” template #and post it as soon as the thing's out whether or not anyone actually complains much less the way they accuse people of #these people are getting to the point that even when it's about something i unambiguously *like* i still have to resist the urge #to comment “fr staff aren't gonna fuck you bro”#there's like 11 different posts all insisting that the only reason anyone could dislike the new breed is fatphobia #meanwhile i scrolled down the entire tag and found like 2. maybe 3 people that even mentioned it in the same post as disliking the breed #before anyone gets ideas i'm generally-neutral-to-appreciative of the attempt at moldbreaking on the breed #and am completely indifferent the weight of dragons. the only thing i care about is if the design is original and interesting #a vast majority of the dislike posts i've seen so far have been in the vein of “nah man this one's just not for me” or “too maggot”#or “i hoped for an eldritch horror”. and there's not that many of these dislike posts in general. especially compared to normal.#meanwhile the counter-bitching has all been like “YOU'RE ALL JUST GREEDY UNPLEASABLE ENTITLED WHINY BABY FATPHOBES DIE MAD”#it's like this every time and i feel like it takes less and less to get people going like this every time #it almost feels like they get angrier faster the *less* anyone actually complains in the first place #a behavior pattern i'm well versed in from experience with my mother #and they always seem to get angriest at the most mild polite complaint posters rather than any of the actually questionable ones #like they'll ignore someone spouting clear fatphobia to go fling bigotry accusations at someone who just said “eh i kinda hoped for scary”#they also consistently have a bad case of “fr players are a monolith who all ask for the same things”-brain #i don't know what it is that makes it so fr players are so insecure about liking anything that the possible existence of anyone who doesnt #makes them feel like they're being directly attacked #flight rising #i suspect it's downstream of a similar kind of “we know if we don't get what we want we lose our chance because the devs are fickle” thing #to the fundamental flaw that doomed the minecraft mob votes
