I saw some people in real life get genuinely upset when someone played Last Christmas within earshot the other day, and I didn't say anything at the time because they didn't want to hear it, but I was definitely thinking it - man, you're doing it wrong.
Whamageddon is just a piece of dumb fun, and getting agitated by dumb fun defeats the whole point of it. If something as silly as that gets your goat, maybe your goat deserves to be got. I'm not going to intentionally ruin the fun for anybody else, and I'm still playing the game, but it's just a game.
It would like getting upset when you get Rick-rolled. This still happens to me a couple of times a year and I am always abso-fucking-lutely delighted when it gets me. I never think it's not funny, and admire that I can still get fooled, even when I've been on full alert for it for more than a decade.
It's a grim world out there, children. Get your dumb fun where you can, and don't cry about it.
