The gaming community really likes jumping on hate bandwagons.

Big swaths of the tech world are like this as well. As a programmer of over 3 decades, I'm wondering if there's something about computer related tech fields that tends to promote unkind, amoral, and short-sighted outlooks on the world. Alternatively, there could be an attraction for the segment of the populace with unkind, amoral, and short-sighted outlooks on the world. Not everyone in tech is like that, of course, or I'd leave. (This is not to say the PA guys are like that.)

I wouldn't jump to say "unkind" and "amoral" but computer related tech fields do attract very analytical thinkers, who are often more critical than less analytical types.

Some of those analytical lack enough humility to avoid the appearance of thinking themselves infallible.

Then there is a segment of those in tech who think that whatever they can get away with, they should get away with.
