@pixel@urusai.social personal theory: probably from the quarter eating days, there is a strange machismo around being ‘good’ and liking fighting games. Disliking fighting games outright then has emasculating associations. So rather than outright dislike them, a misdirection has to happen to save face, one that puts the blame back on the genre. “Oh I would like them, but…”For my part; they’re stressful to me and I lack competitive bones. I failed just as miserably at learning guitar. I see the appeal though.
