It doesn't matter what game you play, industry you work in or hobby you partake, the world is full of disingenuous people. Those people play video games too.

Individual perception (especially in an anonymous situation) is often more negative than seen in reality. There are the older generations of gamers, or the "well back in my day" folks and the newer generations since them. There is no level of respect between gamers now because everyone feels they are entitled to a personal experience and you are ruining it for them. This builds up over time and with so many people involved in a single community, we are bound to see tempers flare. There is no real repercussion to their behavior like there would be in life where everyone just wants to "fit in."
