This reminded me, sorta unrelated but the ff14 community is incredibly ableist when it comes to gameplay. Don't you dare mention combat macros cause they'll all start screeching at you. Never mind that you have arthritis and carpal tunnel and just want to play without much pain from spamming.
Even the wow community wasn't bad at this, plenty of sites and people willing to help, iirc they even helped a quadriplegic play wow.
The only time I ever saw mention of macros being an issue I ever saw was from super sweaty guilds, where every ounce of performance was needed. During any sane, reasonable play session, I've never seen anyone mention them.
I've encountered it in the wild a bit. Most of the time it's regular people parroting the sweatys but it's still ableist. Even my lovely but terrible gamer girlfriend told me I shouldn't use combat macros and then I lovingly told her she sucks and that some macros could help her. She often forgets to use ogcd spells and I weaved a couple in her regular filler spell. Her dummy damage actually went up. I'm all for doing stuff that help people regardless of the reason.
I don't even think anyone would ever notice in a regular play session. Which makes it weirder they get all aggro about it online.
I may have just stopped too early to have gotten it in game. I only got to... The one after heavensward lol. But yeah, anyone who wants to complain about it, they can pound sand lol
