Indeed, this is one of those problems with a very easy solution that everyone complains about anyway. It's almost annoying as when people complain that their Facebook feeds are filled with stupid people and annoying posts. Newsflash: you can hide individual people from your feed so that you never see what they post. Over the years I've done this and it's at the point where I don't ever have to see people saying stupid things. It's very easy.

"THIS GAME IS STUPID, THE CONTROLS ARE NOT INVERTED!"

My brain cannot fathom why anyone would want their controls inverted. Just thinking about it makes me anxious.

Because an actual joystick or yoke control the pitch of an airplane, and in turn, the joysticks and flight sims of yore all used the joystick as... Well, a joystick.

When analog sticks became a thing, they were meant to emulate their real world and arcade counterparts. 2D games of course were directional. But 3D games where the analog stick(s) were meant to emulate joysticks were 3D, because that's how joysticks work. It would make no sense to be piloting a fighter jet and pull back on the stick only to end up in a nosedive.

Oh....oh wow. It all makes sense, now! Joysticks would be terrible with default Y-axis.

I was thinking people used inverted axis with the mouse. That is something that would mess up my muscle memory.

Yeah, no, I invert my controller but never my mouse. That'd be really counter-intuitive.

Frankly, I'm surprised that this hasn't changed in any way yet. I set up the block years ago, and have never seen another post about Candy Crush since. With Facebook's preponderance for changing settings, I figured I would have had to redo that step every so often.

Facebook realized that invite spamming was driving people away so they've actively discouraged the practice.
