Yes, which is why he's being a tool by insisting other people can't be mad about similar things.
I get why people are mad, I was one of them.
The difference is you're acting like there aren't beep boop Necrons at all anymore, or that you can't have beep boop Necrons. They do in fact actually exist and are a valid thing one can base their army on, there are just other options for people who want something else. Necrons being "mentally incomplete" or having space Alzheimer's has been a part of their lore since their first codex, with the knowledge that some Necrons had more mental faculties than others. Necrons with personalities showed up in books and video games prior to their 5th edition Codex. That trait just wasn't reflected on the tabletop until that codex brought it into the spotlight and introduced unique army characters with miniatures.
We already have a homogeneous unthinking bulwark army, they're called the Tyranids.
Just for clarity, is your only problem with the current Necron lore that the C'tan are pokemon? Because, like, I can get that complaint even if I don't agree with it. I will absolutely give that point to you that the change would piss people off. Like I said, it pissed me off at first too.
But you not understanding why people might like the option of adding some flavor to their army instead of being pigeon-holed into one archetype (especially when that one archetype is still available for use) is either astoundingly stupid or very disingenuous of you.
