Here's my just my personnal thoughts on what's going on. Not going to insult anyone or anything, neither going to do some elitism stuff... in short, "mm8bdm" got used to some "standards". Pretty much, regarding game content, but mostly regarding who you are and what you've done around.
How it comes we now judge like that? Disregarding if you're just a regular player, a mapper, a codder, a "dev" or whatever name you could get from this game and feel so good for it, I feel like the casual, relaxing fun from playing (it's a game, just an essential reminder, this is basic stuff - Now I'm saying that but I really mean it, it's really what it's mainly supposed to be) turned into a depressive, hateful and obnoxious series of standards you've got to be accustomed. They've been defined over the years, unconsciously maybe, that'd explain why some people probably knew the idea, but didn't dare to actually say it straight.
As in, I'm sure some people have changed a lot since they started playing MM8BDM in the v2-3 era because of these standards that they built themselves upon (and yet, keep doing it.)
I agree with Bik when he's talking about being physically ill when thinking about some stuff going around here, it kind of happened to me for almost a year when I was fully dedicated to MM8BDM.
I'd say the solution is to take a say, 1-month break out of here, or even more if you feel like it. Really simple, but it's not meant to be hard to understand and apply. You should definitely feel actually better after retreating from all that. Why playing if you don't appreciate it? You should just not do it, after all.
