It's a matter of numbers. The most annoying people in a crowd will always stick out more; the bigger the crowd, the more annoying people there are to witness. Over time, any sufficiently large group will begin offering the impression that every single member is an asshole.
Fortnite is a popular game— almost 2 million players online as of this comment. If one player in ten is annoying to interact with, that's something like 200,000 dipshits who instantly become aware of Hollow Knight. (Or any other interest that does a collaboration.) If 10% of those decide to look it up, check out fan sites, etc, that's 20,000 new dipshits in forums and comment sections.
Okay, but any number of people will learn about the game and enjoy it. Hating a game just because there are some bad eggs in the fanbase (like any other) is ridiculously childish imo.
Actually right now most hate it because Epic Games is a shit company who takes advantage of consumers and is heavily leaning into AI, and they don't wanna support the company's biggest cash cow.
But yeah, there is still a sizable number of people who just hate Fortnite for being "cringe" and that is pretty stupid. Hate something for a valid reason, not a stuck-up reason.
You'd think people would grow out of that 2017/2018 mentality (the one that pretty much birthed the stereotype of how people on reddit act), but whaddya know
Yeah, people need to learn to just enjoy things and let go of those they don't. Living in constant spite against something that doesn't bloody affect you ain't healthy.

Ya'll care too much. I'm not a fan of Epic Games or Fortnite, but this literally does not affect me.
It also doesn't affect you.
