You've got it wrong. It's more like ResetEra is an extremely insular community that no one outside of ResetEra -really- cares about. Ie, this site doesn't have some sort of great power over the industry at large. Outside of this site, most people aren't aware of the 8chan AMA, or they were aware but then forgot since it happened a while ago now. On this site, pretty much everyone knows at this point because of the people who incessantly bring it up in every topic remotely about THQN. Some here, probably you included, would say "great, that's good that people are finding out about it." I would argue that it's annoying as hell and accomplishes nothing.
You're preaching to the choir here, to an extent. You're not reaching anyone outside of this site with your message when you bring it up in every topic here. Just people who already are aware about it. So what's really the point of continually bringing it up? It's fine if you are personally boycotting the company over it, but you can't force that decision on others. Nor are others bad people if they choose to still buy and support THQN's games.
THQN is a massive publisher who has an extremely large umbrella. They're not really easy to avoid, nor should people have to avoid them. The developers of their games are not guilty of doing what they did.
What you're seeing here, and in most THQN topics, is people frustrated at being told they are guilty by association for supporting any given THQN product. It's just pure antagonism that helps nobody, and that is mainly what people are complaining about when they talk about toxicity here.
Again, if you want to boycott it, by all means do so. But you can't make other people do the same. And bringing it up and derailing every single topic about THQN into the same circular argument helps literally no one and does literally nothing. It just stifles conversation.
