How is this such a bad approach? This has been a very normal thing since the beginning of gaming. Not every video game is made for everybody. If you don't like a video game or can't play it for any reason... go find one that you do enjoy or that you can play.
I've seen people cry about spiders in a horror game.. like... its a horror game... it is supposed to make you uncomfortable.

Arachnophobia is nothing more than just about making people uncomfortable. Noted.

You're misunderstanding what I am saying, but ok man.
Remember, these are just video games were talking about. They mean literally nothing in the real world and are not a necessity.

You say games mean ‘literally nothing in the real world,’ but you’re gate keeping games like it’s a holy rite. If games are just entertainment, why treat them like a proving ground? People expressing that the game feels too hard aren’t ruining it they’re sharing their experience. If you care enough to defend difficulty, then games do mean something to you. So maybe stop pretending they don’t when it’s convenient.
