omfg people are being a bit too stupid for 8:20 AM but people hate on the DOOM series due to its violence and madness combat has that violence X1000 yet it has like 0 haters (but i love both of them)
Viewing post in Madness Combat FPS: Fueled by Hot Dogs comments
Probably because MC is more niche and Doom was way more publicized when it came out (video game scare)
Newgrounds and other flash animation works did face a lot of controversy around this time however, MC came out sometime when it started to die down, and to my knowledge never got caught in the controversy.
Helps that MC is more stylized and not as realistic. It's a bit more "tolerable"?
