People hate Patrick because he dares to question what is going on in video gaming today. The other guys do this too, they just don't usually write pieces about it, but that's what Patrick was brought on for. So many people in the community just want to sweep everything under the rug. Sure, I'll agree that there is a lot of sexism or misogyny discussion that isn't warranted or that gets blown out of proportion. However, the reaction of the community to any mention of the subject is to immediately slam the writer and the idea that anything could possibly be sexist. The backlash is so disproportionate and at times downright disgusting.
I think it's hilarious that the one guy in this comment section seems to say Patrick is hated because he responded to the vitriolic anger against what he had to say. So people don't like it when you fight back? What a bunch of cowards. They think it's ok to make fun of someone on a personal level or make comments about someone's recently deceased father, but if you dare get upset or respond to it then they are the victim and you are just blowing this out of proportion.
Well said duder. Patrick did a great job and made spot on points. Having a discourse for why you dislike something or someone is welcome- but the internet quickly devolves into garbage when you try to do so. Especially when the subject challenges the status quo with any sort of societal issue. Patrick likes bringing those issues up- a lot of us like that he does so. It is not ok that we cannot have a reasonable discussion on this.
