I remember when this discourse was going on originally. I asked my kid brother if he knew what Starboard and Larboard meant. His response: "Starboard means right I saw it on Spongebob so does that mean Larboard is left?"

Most of the "starboard + larboard" discourse was ironic joking at the expense of people who couldn't figure out their Lefts from their Rights. Any confusion about the antiquated nautical terms was immediately ended once you wiped the first time and had a chance to realize it just meant left and right, and then wiping a second time when you had a chance to realize it meant Omega's left and right, not yours.

The main issue was just people refusing to learn at all and instead choosing to blame the game, which is what you're doing now.
