Infinity Ward was subjected to a takeover by Activision after CoD4's success. One of the scummiest things ever in the industry.
They removed the two CEO's with basically no reason and started steering the franchise to what we see today: garbage.

Black ops 3 was probably the least trash out of the last 4 cods
So it's like recyclables?

I meant out of the 4 most recent ones that many people didn't like: ghosts, advanced warfare, black ops 3, and infinity warfare
But damn really? 57?
I have no idea. But if you count all the games made by other people that were trying to be it, it's probably 200+ in a decade.

I'm honestly surprised the spinner gets more hate than the fidget cube. That thing is way more noisier and obnoxious. Since I own one.
Good to know, I just gave one to someone.
TheGhostofElizabethShue
OK so I know I'm getting old as fuck, but what are these things and why does everyone hate them so much?
DestroyerBravo
They're essentially 4 skateboard bearings, one in the center and three placed in a perimeter around the first at 120-degree intervals.
They've been a thing for a while as a frame that you'd 3D print and insert skateboard bearings into (which was abt 2 bucks sans printer)
Paragon19
They were supposed to be aids to help prevent distraction (benefits unproven) and have since become simply toys that most kids have +
+ and use incessantly.
Passthesentence
The hate comes from them becoming a fad, and they are really annoying when used improperly.
TheBlackWindHowls
Before a week ago, I'd never heard of these things, and now I can't go on imgur without seeing people bitch about them.
MostIndeedlySo
Same. The first post was some guy throwing a bunch of these in the trash and I had no idea what was going on.
I think that was my first experience seeing them on imgur as well! It was like a new fad to make fun of that erupted on imgur overnight.
shalmdi
The hate annoys me since they have been really helpful for my adult nephew with ADHD. Like listening to people whine about a crutch.
Freeflare
They're popular with younger people. There's your answer.
MisterOp
People get them. Everyone says they're dumb. Then *they* get one. The survivors say they're dumb. Then *they* get some... it's a virus.
it's fucking AIDS
IllegalDuckling
It's really just a hate bandwagon like every other. It'll die soon.
coolguy4206969
They were designed to help kids focus, but instead are distracting. Makes it hard for people who need something (like ADHD stuff) to get it.
TomatoMan2017
They are toys that schools banned and then people got mad then people got mad at the people getting bad and now everyone hates everyone.
MageLove
They sold out at my work so a lot of grumpy parents not able to get for their kiddies, that's why I hate them haha.
For some people with ADD (or the like?), these things are a gift from the heavens. For others, they are just a distraction and a toy.
itiscalledsource
It is just a toy, idk i have one and i enjoy just spinning it when i'm not doing anything at my computer. Wouldn't want them in school tho
Unfortunately, I agree. I have seen how they have helped an adult with ADD focus, but in a classroom, it would distract too many others.
ridge
They make video games, including a popular zombie survival mode for Call of Duty.
chavii
I see what you did there
Suravik
I assume they make a lot of noise. I don't get why people would bitch so much otherwise.
t00tie
No more than spinning a skateboard wheel in the air, pretty much no sound at all really.
Well then, all this hate is a little silly then
Yes. The internet is a fickle place.
GrandpaRossysOldManDongs
They're relatively quiet, and even the louder ones I've heard are quieter than an average conversation level of volume.
TheFreQy
They're supposed to help with people who have autism and people who fidget a lot, hence the name "Fidget Spinner"
baldewok
But they are quickly becoming an autistic identity tag.
zombiedukut
My granddaughter bought my one and so did my wife. I think they are trying to tell me something
It means they want you to stop playing with their stuff! And that your autistic.
I only play with my fair share of legos and video games
Vockstar
They like pogs, remember pogs? Remember why pogs? Or those finger skateboards, same human tendency in play
legofham
Remember Alf? Hes back, in pog form!
OptimusPantry
Because why should people enjoy things that we don't
LapisScarab
It's just a little fad for a specific toy like beanie babies, and people hate them because the internet is petty.
Just want to add that I know an adult with ADHD that this has been particularly helpful for. Still, I suppose they are toys.
TomSwervo
Much like anything designed to help people with attention disorders, it will get abused by stupid kids and adults will want them gone.
Harsh but probably true. I have ADD, but this would just be a distraction for me. My adult nephew finds them extremely helpful.

I teach English to students from grades 5-10. They've become a nuisance in my classroom. I don't like them. The spinners are annoying, too.

As a third grade teacher... You have my sympathy and my upvote.
[deleted]
They are to help fidgety people focus. My wife got me one, but tbh i feel like it's more of a distraction. I can see how adults are annoyed.
FungusForge
Yeah they aren't good for fidgeting. The cube is pretty great though. Compact and doesn't require attentive effort for something to happen.
buttjibblerz
I've got ADHD, I cannot imagine those HELPING me focus, futzing usually happens because I'm already spacing the fuck out. Shit's a scam.
Nodyarb
Yep, in every class at least 12 people have them and i am constantly looking at the new noise
WolfWings
Speaking as someone that has focus issues, the spinners should not be marketted as a 'fidget' toy. They're a hand-held top. Nothing more.
Spinners don't "occupy" our hands, they merely rest in them. A pencil to spin does more good, because it requires activity to maintain it.
Fidget cubes are so good because they offer a variety of ways to interact, each face covers a common fidget mannerism quite well.
But anything that requires continual effort and motion? THAT helps with focus issues. Spinners make them worse.
LearningOnImgur
That's because they're a toy that's disguised as a special toy for ADD kids...but it's about as useful for fidgeting as a pen
IAmDrBanner
It is especially annoying because there are tons of those little things for people with anxiety and stuff that are way less obnoxious and /1
annoying. This isn't anything new. They just took something that has been around for a long time and made it "modern" and stupid. /2
I have this issue, but I always used one of those rings that you can spin the outer area, or spinned a pen/coin around my fingers. /3
There were some squeezy keychains too. Any of those things is better than a large, clunky thing that spins and makes noise. /4
DaveBobert36
Totally. Way more noisy and distracting as actual fidget toys
ihpkmn
The hell is a fidget spinner anyway? And why do people hate them?
Mix of Internet bandwagon and annoying kids/ content based around spinners. Not a bad toy though.
Looking it up, these seem perfect for me. I'm always twitching my leg around, and those fidget cubes are hard to find.
Check out Antsy Labs for fidget cubes. Not a wide selection of colors, but Antsy Labs cares about the quality.

it's a fad and can be irritating (students distracted by something advertised as helping them focus)
NobleSavant
Children enjoy something and we are old and petty so we must hate it.

As someone who is apart of a lot of gaming scenes, it's not the worst. I just wish they would stick with one game for more than a year..
MrWolfwood
just FYI, COD has 3 studies making 3 different titles at all time. This is why they are shit out.
And if it's always just going to be the newest one, the scene doesn't have enough time to grow strategically IMO.
I'm vary aware. I'm not to worried about them shitting them out or not, i'm worried about which one they back as a competitive title.

He played Minecraft since a few yrs back, I consider that as an okay game to play for a 11 y/o. I wish he could cont' 2-3 yrs more w/ that.
"Minecraft is a place where people just are, so it doesn’t take long for it to become a curséd rathole like every other thing we touch."
BTW, I really love Minecraft personally. But yeah, don't underestimate the rudeness of pubescent boys online.
funfight22
Why? Barring extreme circumstances nothing will happen, and if your worried about extremes just lock them in the basement until they die.
Because he'll probably make a fool of himself unless he's really self-disciplined for a kid and he might pick up bad gaming habits.
Great, thanks, good advice! I am not THAT worried, I see him as a rock solid & stable kid. Then again, whose parent don't.

Its not. CoD is just the internet's punching bag. 90% of players don't even use a mic, and of the 10% that do, maybe 1% is obnoxious.
And you can just mute them if they are.
It is. All game communities have good and bad sides but CoD is worse than most
Not terribly worse mind you, but not insignificantly.
Botatious
Its not worse, its just louder. Leagues community is way more toxic than CoDs ever was/is.
TheActualBruceWayne
It actually depends. Which console? Which title?
There are different CoD titles? Is Black Ops one of them then? That's what he mentioned. PC with Ubuntu, sure about that at least :)
r000t
CoD will not run on a PC with Ubuntu. But, there are TONS of games for Linux on Steam!
From what I've seen, the black ops community is actually pretty nice on PC. Of course, it also depends on what black ops. There's 1, 2 and 3
I've found the bo3 player base on pc isn't that cancerous at all, surprisingly. I meet more 12 year olds screamers in R6 siege.

I think that was my first experience seeing them on imgur as well! It was like a new fad to make fun of that erupted on imgur overnight.
shalmdi
The hate annoys me since they have been really helpful for my adult nephew with ADHD. Like listening to people whine about a crutch.
Freeflare
They're popular with younger people. There's your answer.
MisterOp
People get them. Everyone says they're dumb. Then *they* get one. The survivors say they're dumb. Then *they* get some... it's a virus.
MisterOp
it's fucking AIDS
IllegalDuckling
It's really just a hate bandwagon like every other. It'll die soon.
coolguy4206969
They were designed to help kids focus, but instead are distracting. Makes it hard for people who need something (like ADHD stuff) to get it.
TomatoMan2017
They are toys that schools banned and then people got mad then people got mad at the people getting bad and now everyone hates everyone.
MageLove
They sold out at my work so a lot of grumpy parents not able to get for their kiddies, that's why I hate them haha.
shalmdi
For some people with ADD (or the like?), these things are a gift from the heavens. For others, they are just a distraction and a toy.
itiscalledsource
It is just a toy, idk i have one and i enjoy just spinning it when i'm not doing anything at my computer. Wouldn't want them in school tho
shalmdi
Unfortunately, I agree. I have seen how they have helped an adult with ADD focus, but in a classroom, it would distract too many others.
ridge
They make video games, including a popular zombie survival mode for Call of Duty.
chavii
I see what you did there
Suravik
I assume they make a lot of noise. I don't get why people would bitch so much otherwise.
t00tie
No more than spinning a skateboard wheel in the air, pretty much no sound at all really.
Suravik
Well then, all this hate is a little silly then
t00tie
Yes. The internet is a fickle place.
GrandpaRossysOldManDongs
They're relatively quiet, and even the louder ones I've heard are quieter than an average conversation level of volume.
TheFreQy
They're supposed to help with people who have autism and people who fidget a lot, hence the name "Fidget Spinner"
baldewok
But they are quickly becoming an autistic identity tag.
zombiedukut
My granddaughter bought my one and so did my wife. I think they are trying to tell me something
shalmdi
It means they want you to stop playing with their stuff! And that your autistic.
zombiedukut
I only play with my fair share of legos and video games
Vockstar
They like pogs, remember pogs? Remember why pogs? Or those finger skateboards, same human tendency in play
legofham
Remember Alf? Hes back, in pog form!
OptimusPantry
Because why should people enjoy things that we don't
LapisScarab
It's just a little fad for a specific toy like beanie babies, and people hate them because the internet is petty.
shalmdi
Just want to add that I know an adult with ADHD that this has been particularly helpful for. Still, I suppose they are toys.
TomSwervo
Much like anything designed to help people with attention disorders, it will get abused by stupid kids and adults will want them gone.
shalmdi
Harsh but probably true. I have ADD, but this would just be a distraction for me. My adult nephew finds them extremely helpful.
iH8myPP
I teach English to students from grades 5-10. They've become a nuisance in my classroom. I don't like them. The spinners are annoying, too.
Madderrs
Ba-DUM tssssss
nafierye
My work bought us a bunch. People seem to love them. I guess there's a difference between kids and adults having them.

As a third grade teacher... You have my sympathy and my upvote.

They are to help fidgety people focus. My wife got me one, but tbh i feel like it's more of a distraction. I can see how adults are annoyed.
FungusForge
Yeah they aren't good for fidgeting. The cube is pretty great though. Compact and doesn't require attentive effort for something to happen.
buttjibblerz
I've got ADHD, I cannot imagine those HELPING me focus, futzing usually happens because I'm already spacing the fuck out. Shit's a scam.
Nodyarb
Yep, in every class at least 12 people have them and i am constantly looking at the new noise
WolfWings
Speaking as someone that has focus issues, the spinners should not be marketted as a 'fidget' toy. They're a hand-held top. Nothing more.
WolfWings
Spinners don't "occupy" our hands, they merely rest in them. A pencil to spin does more good, because it requires activity to maintain it.
WolfWings
Fidget cubes are so good because they offer a variety of ways to interact, each face covers a common fidget mannerism quite well.
WolfWings
But anything that requires continual effort and motion? THAT helps with focus issues. Spinners make them worse.
LearningOnImgur
That's because they're a toy that's disguised as a special toy for ADD kids...but it's about as useful for fidgeting as a pen
IAmDrBanner
It is especially annoying because there are tons of those little things for people with anxiety and stuff that are way less obnoxious and /1
IAmDrBanner
annoying. This isn't anything new. They just took something that has been around for a long time and made it "modern" and stupid. /2
IAmDrBanner
I have this issue, but I always used one of those rings that you can spin the outer area, or spinned a pen/coin around my fingers. /3
IAmDrBanner
There were some squeezy keychains too. Any of those things is better than a large, clunky thing that spins and makes noise. /4
DaveBobert36
Totally. Way more noisy and distracting as actual fidget toys
ihpkmn
The hell is a fidget spinner anyway? And why do people hate them?
Deonies
Mix of Internet bandwagon and annoying kids/ content based around spinners. Not a bad toy though.
ihpkmn
Looking it up, these seem perfect for me. I'm always twitching my leg around, and those fidget cubes are hard to find.
GingerLaird
Check out Antsy Labs for fidget cubes. Not a wide selection of colors, but Antsy Labs cares about the quality.
jmsdbz
Honestly it would be a good move. They already command a huge army of autistic 12 year olds
ArtOzz
I wonder who has the bigger army, them, Riot, or Valve?
ShiraZen
I hate how the damn things became a meme right when I got one to mess with. It's less the crowd who gets them and more te bitching about it.

TheScummiestFuckingFlowerBoy
I still don't get why people hate the spinner thing. Is it like, some kinda hipster "it's popular so I hate it" deal?
inmat
it's a fad and can be irritating (students distracted by something advertised as helping them focus)
NobleSavant
Children enjoy something and we are old and petty so we must hate it.
robdrimmie
My autistic 11 year old son hates his fidget spinner.
IllegalDuckling
Pretty sure they weren't made for autists.
Superfastsheep
What is it with everyone called everyone autistic?
SirSkellingtonBonerLord
Yeah, call them Automatics instead, it's much cooler.
DMGuy
People have learned not to use "retarded", but they still need *something* to be dismissive dicks with.
Username171712
It feels right. Rolls off the tongue.
SpikeTheGoat
Used to be everyone claiming they had ADHD or OCD because they had 1 minor trait little to do with it. Just the big one right now.
Superfastsheep
At this rate schizophrenia is going to be sooo in next year
SheaBriar
Autistic is the new retarded.

For a site that is liberal by a large majority I find it fascinating that insulting children with an autism disorder is upvoted so much. Sad

I only learned about these things a couple weeks ago. I'm out of the loop here, is this the current thing to arbitrarily hate?

I think so. I'm not sure either.

So are you a formal autistic 12 year old or are you autistic and used to be 12?
Vockstar
TheLoneliestGiraffe
As a 12yo former autistic, no.
Gaiaqt
can confirm, they are.
ilistentorapalot
As someone who is apart of a lot of gaming scenes, it's not the worst. I just wish they would stick with one game for more than a year..
MrWolfwood
just FYI, COD has 3 studies making 3 different titles at all time. This is why they are shit out.
ilistentorapalot
And if it's always just going to be the newest one, the scene doesn't have enough time to grow strategically IMO.
ilistentorapalot
I'm vary aware. I'm not to worried about them shitting them out or not, i'm worried about which one they back as a competitive title.
Fenix04
Haven't played Call of Duty since the first Black Ops. I assume the community is as cancerous as ever?
WittyWarrior
The multi-player guys, yes they are. The zombies community is quite different. :P

I got bl3 to play with my friend. It has gotten a lot and the gameplay is way to fast.
Zarlath16
i only play zombies with my brothers, so i wouldn't know
AnAsOfYetUnidentifiedIndividual
Worse
W0ND0
As a dad of an 11 y/o who asked for CoD several times, could you explain this to me? Why's the community so bad? Any other 'risks'?
Arnoxthe1
It's full of immature aggressive kids and all that that entails. Honestly? I wouldn't let him play ANY online game until he's at LEAST 16.
BhawbTheMagnificent
All depends on the kid. I was playing R rated multiplayer games at 12 or so, and I've only killed a few people.
MJrein
Not even club penguin? That's just cruel
Justkillmealready
RIP Club Penguin
W0ND0
He played Minecraft since a few yrs back, I consider that as an okay game to play for a 11 y/o. I wish he could cont' 2-3 yrs more w/ that.
Arnoxthe1
"Minecraft is a place where people just are, so it doesn’t take long for it to become a curséd rathole like every other thing we touch."
Arnoxthe1
BTW, I really love Minecraft personally. But yeah, don't underestimate the rudeness of pubescent boys online.
funfight22
Why? Barring extreme circumstances nothing will happen, and if your worried about extremes just lock them in the basement until they die.
Arnoxthe1
Because he'll probably make a fool of himself unless he's really self-disciplined for a kid and he might pick up bad gaming habits.

W0ND0
Great, thanks, good advice! I am not THAT worried, I see him as a rock solid & stable kid. Then again, whose parent don't.

Mute the chat and enable the graphic filter if it has one
ISeaNipple
I remember for Advanced warfare there was an option to make all bullets basically paint balls, so it didn't look like you were killing peopl
djml9
Its not. CoD is just the internet's punching bag. 90% of players don't even use a mic, and of the 10% that do, maybe 1% is obnoxious.
djml9
And you can just mute them if they are.
AnAsOfYetUnidentifiedIndividual
It is. All game communities have good and bad sides but CoD is worse than most
AnAsOfYetUnidentifiedIndividual
Not terribly worse mind you, but not insignificantly.
Botatious
Its not worse, its just louder. Leagues community is way more toxic than CoDs ever was/is.
TheActualBruceWayne
It actually depends. Which console? Which title?
W0ND0
There are different CoD titles? Is Black Ops one of them then? That's what he mentioned. PC with Ubuntu, sure about that at least :)
r000t
CoD will not run on a PC with Ubuntu. But, there are TONS of games for Linux on Steam!
TheActualBruceWayne
From what I've seen, the black ops community is actually pretty nice on PC. Of course, it also depends on what black ops. There's 1, 2 and 3
TheActualBruceWayne
I've found the bo3 player base on pc isn't that cancerous at all, surprisingly. I meet more 12 year olds screamers in R6 siege.
