I say it a lot because it's both true and constantly misunderstood. It's invalidating to the extent that an argument is premised on a self-selecting minority being representative of the majority. It's a very common, understandable mistake, but it is a mistake.

Consider the following: you don't actually have any evidence that "people that post in those sites are mostly the more active fanbase of the game." You reason from being the most vocal to being the most active, but even then, what is the significance of being the most active? It's not really relevant to the discussion at hand.

If the question is as to the attitudes of the player base as a whole, taking a small, self-selecting minority (the most vocal players, the most active players, etc.) doesn't actually tell you much about what most players think. The self-selecting aspect of posters on forums/Reddit/Twitter is important precisely because you should expect their opinions to differ from most other players.

tl;dr Twitter isn't real life.
