I find it the most intuitive when thinking about flying a plane.
If there is one stick to control the plane
Imagine a toy plane on top of the stick
To make the plane climb in altitude you’d tilt the back of the toy plane down and point the nose up. That would mean pulling back on the stick.
Now if you stick a head on that stick. To make it look up it would be the same. Pull back.
In the image if you wanted to turn the character’s head to the left you point your fingers to the left.
You’re not wrapping your head around it correctly
“Up actually means down” is not what people that think with inverted Y-axis. It’s if I pull back the mouse/joystick it’s going to tilt the character’s eyes up.
Image you are flying a plane and you have a single control stick in front of you.
Which way do you move the stick to climb higher in the air?
Which way do you move the stick to turn left?
I would say scroll down the page if I wanted to see more of the information on the bottom of the page.
The scroll bar needs to move down

Gaming consoles exist because some prefer to use a controller instead of mouse and keyboard
I feel this is where the steam box misses it’s target console audience
It is trying to be a “PC” instead of being a console.
I don’t see the appeal personally
If it was inexpensive and dialed in for gaming it makes sense for PC gamers
But as a console gamer myself I’m not going to sit on the couch and play with mouse and keyboard or I’m not going to play with a controller against others with mouse and keyboard advantage.
If it was any other company then Steam everyone would be laughing at it. “Dell wants me to pay $500+ to just have an inferior PC hooked up in my living room?”
Or just roll them around in a bowl
Shaking is not required
It’s just a different perspective
Most people that wouldn’t use inverted y axis for a mouse or joystick controller would fly a plane with a yoke “inverted”. Back goes up, forward goes down.
It’s easier to imagine sitting in a plane
Like it’s easier to imagine controlling a character on a screen if you were sitting in their head with a plane yoke to control. In that case it would be inverted.
Anyone can learn to use inverted y controls. Just it’s not the default everyone learns so it’s not “normal”
