The oversaturation of analysis and hype for every movie/game/tv show (especially trailers). The "everything nerdy is automatically awesome and if you don't agree you're wrong" view. The deification of certain cultural icons. The whole "this killed my childhood" line and the unwillingness to accept things that don't align with your headcanon. The lack of meaningful debate on the merits (or lack thereof) of certain pieces of media. It's extremely offputting and is going to make nerd culture an increasingly insular echo chamber that can only end up imploding on itself at some point.I really dislike the way people treat writers, directors, and just artists in general. They treat them like machines that are just supposed to pump out whatever they want and to hell with their own personal vision or creative desires. It's fine to dislike something an artist does but to fly off the handle and call for their head on a lance is very rude and entitled.
I think a lot of people don't appreciate how personal and important art can be for a lot of people. While that doesn't mean you have to like and constantly applaud an artist for everything they do, I think people should try to be a little bit more considerate. Constructive criticism is great, absolutely tearing into someone and attacking them for not making something the way you wanted is not.
