Why do people get butthurt over minecraft?

My friends who play minecraft talk about it all the time I don't say anything because I don't play it.One day one of my friends who doesn't like minecraft said it was boring and that she didn't find it such a big deal as everyone did. Everyone got mad at her saying she shoudnt judge the game and that she's stupid Cx what? I know maybe they like the game alot and it's their opinion but like WTF don't get so hurt about it. I like alot of things too and they make fun of it and think it's stupid but you don't see me almost crying in rage about how they are stupid for not agreeing. Also alot of people like minecraft and get really hurt if you say you don't like it or it sucks:| … Why? Is it just like the type of people or are the obsessed? Sorry if this offended anyone /.\ not trying to say everyone is like this just alot of people I see and know.

I'm not too sure actually xD. I guess its because they love it so much, and they want other people to see how awesome they think it is. To other people its obviously not that cool. It applies to more than just minecraft though. Its just something people do.

Wow. I've never met anyone that passionate about Minecraft. I think saying that "people" in general get upset over it might be too much of a generalization. The people who do freak out are probably just rabidly engrossed in it. You should also know that some people think that if someone says "I don't like this", then it somehow means that the game is bad, which means they have to defend it. It's a bit silly and perhaps more than a bit childish, but I don't think you need to worry about it. Soon those people will grow tired of it and move on, or mature and be able to handle differing opinions.
