"Vecna" is a character from DND popularized by Stranger Things Season 4. The Vecna Issue is when a mysterious form of media is given context, and isn't as mysterious anymore. Other examples would be giving "levels" to the Backrooms and adding random monsters into it as well.
1: Some people don't understand that fear of the unknown is the scariest type of fear.
2: Yeah, I didn't need to know Vecna created the Mind Flayer, now it's just kind of boring.
3: Yeah, I'd call that the Vecna Issue. When you add context to something that has none, making it way less scary.
1&2: I agree.

When a fan of a series (usually a woman) is too afraid to do anything that might offend another fan's fictional husband.
Emma: Oh my gosh. Nico is so hot.
Kate: You know he's gay, right?
Emma: WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME? NICO LOVES ME MORE THAN ANYONE! YOU'RE JUST STUPID, SHUT UP!
And that's how Kate's husband issues began.

The Skill Issue Fallacy is when a person, who via indirect means of exposure, says that a certain media is bad, then when they finally get to experience it, they don’t take it seriously because of their low expectations. This leads to them having an objectively unenjoyable time, later reinforcing their unproven belief that the certain media is bad and continuing the loop.
The Skill Issue Fallacy can be found most often in debates about similar video games, such as between Terraria and Minecraft, Valorant and Counter Strike, etc. While the fallacy is not inherent towards a specific group of players or fandoms, reviews from people with no prior, direct experience with the media, people who had an initial, coincidental negative experience, or reviewers who previously fell victim to the Skill Issue Fallacy while consuming said media, exhibit noticeable traces of the fallacy. Some examples are, but not limited to: vague/irrelevant/a lack of evidence (“Terraria sucks because its 2D graphics are bad”), cherry picked reasons (“Valorant’s ability mechanic sucks because of the lack of balancing”), and reaching (“Minecraft’s community sucks”).
This fallacy doesn’t have just limited to a few individuals either. Large groups of people can be deluded and herded into the fallacy because of viral videos posted by those who fell for the fallacy prior, causing a chain reaction of falling for the fallacy when the target media is sometimes actually peak.

“Mark fell victim to the skill issue fallacy the other day, he finally got around to try Roblox but half-assed his attempt to find a good game cause he thinks everyone’s either a pedo or a scammer. What an idiot. He was two scrolls away from Entry Point.”
