There's a weird ideology or cultural attitude prevalent in Rust circles which does, indeed, involve endless gaslighting of anyone having difficulties with the language (at any level). It involves, amongst other things, insisting that the language is essentially so easy to write that any difficulties anyone has are not, in fact, difficulties, and the person claiming to experience them is not, in fact, doing so.
It's a form of group-identity narcissism I'm sure anyone will recognise as it's not unique to Rust (and seems to be something tech circles are particularly prone to, for, I suspect, demographic reasons).
My guess is this will diminish with Rust because of its fast growth in user numbers. It already seems more prevalant in some forums than others (stay away, for example, from the official Rust user forums, which are noxious).
