Eh, I get where you're coming from. I feel the same thing whenever people bash on Cardin or Whitley myself; they're dicks but they're hardly the evil monstrosity the general fan makes them out to be.

And in terms of other things; on Monday I got to listen to a guy passionately describe how much he hates that Assassins Creed played with historical people because "Ptolemy didn't do that thing, and Julius Caesar didn't talk like a Shakespearean poet". I didn't say anything because I was on my lunch break and didn't have time to get into an argument with someone, but my thoughts basically went along the lines of "They also didn't have magical technology orbs that could control peoples minds and the Templars weren't a secret organisation bent on world peace through world domination via magic mind control devices. It's a game. Just enjoy it."

And I think that's the real kicker; people can't simply enjoy something nowadays. They have to be entirely too emotionally invested in it that they pour all their rage into one character and all their love into another, and heaven forbid something happen to prove their view of the character wrong.
