Being a Doom 3 fan in the modern era
Back in the day, you could freely talk about this game without anyone hating on it for the smallest possible reason, or overreaching, or both. Nowadays, sharing opinions (almost) always ends up being a huge argument where people like to gang up on the fans, while spreading the usual, unhinged BS to prove they are actually "right" and a "better/bigger Doom fan":
"DoOM3 IS nOt a ReAL/gOOd DoOM GaME" (it was made by the OG id Software, based on their original vision, stfu)
"WheN DooM3 CaME out eVERyONe HatED it" (it was doing just fine before Eternal came out)
"DOOm 3 wasN'T sUccESSful" (it sold 3 million copies back in 2004, dumbass)
"DOOm 3 Is jUST A TeCH dEMO" (And why is that a bad thing? Interestingly, Half-life fans sometimes refer to HL2 as a "tech demo" yet they universally agree it's still a good game. Why hasn't the Doom community reached this mindset? Why do some have to nitpick on everything?)
It's kind of unreal at this point that you are not allowed to enjoy your favorite game because a certain part of the community gets offended by it to the core. Yes, i understand this game is 21 years old at this point and not a fast-paced crackhead feverdream, but have some god damn sense in your life and try to ignore an opinion you can't relate to instead of crying like a bitch. I'm tried of it
