Are you so sure about that? The SNES is a bigger sacred cow on the internet than the Genesis. If you go to Sega-16, probably the biggest Genesis forum on the internet, the people there have a grudging respect for the SNES in some ways, but if you go to other places (say NeoGAF) where the SNES is popular it's like the Genesis isn't even worth existing (usually because of muh Square RPGs).

Pic related is the sentiment of your typical SNES fanboy. If Genesis fans seem over the top it's because they are trying to counteract the hysteria of the other team.

Please don't let this devolve into a console war, just keep the funny coming.
