95% of the time it's just a matter of just the noisy minority being angry. Sometimes there are even organized review / dislike bombings (for those interested, there are several attempts over the last 5 years to sabotage popular movies' review scores by anti-progress individuals for example) However at certain times the storm has been real. For EA there have been two such times that I know of: First the Sim City rage, second the original Mass Effect 3 ending.
It is worth noting however that nothing the Sims community have ever experienced even came up to 10% of those outrages. When the likes of Forbes and The New Yorker writes about the outrage and not just semi-popular youtubers, that is a completely different level.
I will say that the issue is a lot more complex than that. Most, if not all movies that have been review-bombed will likely have legitimate reasons behind it. Most of those bombs weren't because people just hate women/minorities/whatever, though I'm sure a lot of people were probably just using this as an opportunity for that. Ghostbusters as hated because it was a lazy cashgrab that wasn't funny, had bad effects and featured an obnoxious director who kept dismissing criticism over the movie as sexism.
It's not really here not there, but I thought I'd mention it because there are so many issues to consider. I take it personally because I really like the ideas behind these movies, but they're being handled horribly by the people behind them.
Captain marvel got review bombed before release day by individuals who wanted the movie to fail because the lead actress is an outspoken feminist. There were even drives on anti-woman channels on youtube and Twitter urging people to go review bomb the movie.
Anyway, again, this "outrage" or ANY outrage in the Sims community comes close to the two instances I mentioned above; one of them even made EA's stock lose enough value that the board members lost their bonuses that year.
