Is the "online poker is rigged" mentality actually a defense mechanism for bad players?

I was scrolling through a poker forum this morning and the usual “this site is rigged!!!” comments were flying everywhere after one brutal bad beat. It’s becoming automatic reaction. Instead of reviewing hands, some players jump straight to conspiracy. Sometimes it’s easier to blame the software than admit poor bankroll management or tilt. Ego protection is so real.
