michael kirkbride

This guy, also known as MK, created a lot of the fundament of The Elder Scrolls lore, he was a major dude working on Morrowind, which basically was the start of TES as we know it. But he also created a lot of lore which isn't in the games, explaining how everything works. For a lot, this destroys the lore. For others, he's God of TES.

His name's a symbol for fandoms which don't really get that it's all about love. Love to the (game/book) world, love to the franchise. Similar to the cancer term "true fan".

In other words: Michael Kirkbride is the reason there's war.

No, he's not. He doesn't do hate, he's just into weird lore. Fanboys are the reason.
