it extends beyond MGS. it's people who "love" anime yet any time spent discussing anime is them distancing themselves from what is "problematic" or "childish" from the content. it's people who have podcasts dedicated to star wars or star trek or capeshit and do nothing but relentlessly shit on the product coming out. it's people who don't know how to make a joke if it isn't extremely sarcastic and ironic, distancing themselves from ever having personal attachment to anything. this metal gear thing in OP is just an example of a much wider attitude.

why can't people love again? do they not believe love can bloom on a battlefield?
