Skill Issue Fallacy

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.”
