Around 2017-2018, there used to be a huge circlejerk online about how Fortnite was the dumbest thing ever, to the point where “Fortnite bad, Minecraft good” was part of the infamous Keanu Chungus 100 meme. Why did it get so much hate, and why did it stop?

    I think it was a combination of it being new at the time and there being a lot of kids playing it. Older teens/young adults often tend to not want to play with young kids. I remember everyone used to complain about, and make fun of kids (aka twelvies) playing COD. I seem to also remember people making fun of Minecraft because it was for kids. As for why it stopped, I think it just got old. The hivemind moved on to hating something else. People grew up a bit, the 12 year olds are now 17? (bloody hell time flies).

      the true answer is it is a STUPID GAME. Any game which causes your IQ is decline the moment you glance at it, is a stupid game. Pls junk Fortnite, PUBG and any number of mindlessly stupid FPSes. For the sake of humanity, pls play something which mentally enhances your IQ while you play it. Like an RvR open PvP mmo which is tab target. For god’s sake don’t touch that heap of junk gw2 or yuck WoW or omg vomit New World etc etc. In fact, all the top tier mmos are crap now.
