Are we all becoming allergic to fun?

After many years spent in chat rooms and forums dealing with games it has become evidently clear to me that game enthusiasts who frequent said forums and chat rooms have become in lack of a better way to put it, allergic to fun. There is a large majority of "gamers" who now look for a certain level of sophistication in games which is fine, but it seems like more and more they are no longer willing to embrace the silly and fun games, so they are now in decline. I am talking about games like Bayonetta and more recently Shadows of the Damned, which embraces B movies and silly juvenile humor in an extremely self aware way. Playing through this game has made me realize just how much I missed games that don't take themselves super seriously and hell don't even mind making a few dick jokes along the way (minus Duke Nukem, which is also allergic to fun). Pretty much this is me saying embrace the silly fun B movie games, that way we can be refreshed with more of them rather than be graced with the occasional Suda 51 trip.
