Lately in gaming, there seems to have arisen a new type of players who basically conduct themselves as self-appointed arbiters, and attempt to enforce their demands by behaving, basically, as "righteousness bullies". The level of intolerance displayed by many of these types towards both the game devs and fellow community members has reached a level of toxicity I had thought couldn't possibly top what gamers are already able to do. And yet some have managed. Some of them genuinely seem to be on the verge of an actual mental breakdown - over what? How deep the snow is in a winter scene in a video game. Which, after all, is a matter of both design choice and individual preference. Yet, look at the level of alternating hysteria and hostility applied by some of these individuals. You would think somebody had just slaughtered a village or something.
I have already expressed my point of view on this particular subject in the "simmers are ungrateful" thread, so I am not going to repeat myself.
But I would like to take this opportunity to note that it seems several people are outraged those who are disappointed can get emotional over it, but some reason, the dozens of youtubers crying like babies when watching the trailer as if it announced a universal cure for cancer seems perfectly normal to them.
Personally even though I am very passionate about the game, I have never felt emotional about it, but I can completely understand those who do, both for positive or for negative reasons. First of all, some people are more emotional than others, and second of all, you may not realize the importance "a simple game" or any other piece of work may have in someone's life or how much it may mean to them. For someone preaching tolerance you are quick to judge others.

That is a wild assumption! You may not be aware of this but a lot of people who post on the forums are in different timelines. What is night time for you might be the middle of the day for someone else.
