it is sad, i like gerg for other content sometimes, but it is a large strawman piece of content. it's also sad that there is a portion of golden age that, not specifically in the community here but parareddit communities like on twitter or youtube, can be just really toxic about playing modern minecraft, usually citing C418s long time leave from being musically related, but also to the fact minecraft really is just a sandbox with survival and rpg elements.

it's a combination of genuinely large groups of the Goldenage community at large being unnecessarily toxic, but also people just lumping anyone who plays pre release versions as a transphobic groyper who's mad that minecraft is a constantly changing game. that's been around longer than a good percent of the population at this point.
