Why do RE5 and RE4 fans clash?

r/ResidentEvil didn't allow this post so I am sharing here.

I grew up playing the OG trilogy in the 90s. When I played 4, I enjoyed it. But when I played RE5 years later, I enjoyed it a lot more than 4.

This was my genuine experience. I had no internet exposure back then, so my thoughts were my own and without any influence from what the fandom had to say.

When I joined FB and YouTube in late 09, I expressed my interest towards loving RE5, and I always found angry replies (and even DMs) from RE4 fans trashing me for liking 5.

Why does a good chunk of RE4 fandom HATE it when someone likes a non RE4 game, especially 5 or 6, more than RE4?

Anyway, I made this meme because when Rebecca intervened while Chris and Leon were arguing, it seemed like Capcom talking to RE5 and RE4 fans while they were bickering with each other. 😂
