I did find the community around those projects (MisterFPGA) to be rather weird, so I understand a little where he's coming from.

In my experience, their description sounds exactly like the greater emulation and retrogaming scene in general.

I've found the MiSTer community to generally be pretty helpful, but there are definitely exceptions. The fact that its a project that aims to perfectly match the behavior of the original hardware leads to some strange arguments.
