Well I believe that it is a common topic for newer'ish' players (& new players).  They may have played for awhile but not yet experienced a succession of crushing beats, having likely not played alot of volume (yet).. or they've just ran exceptionally well & perhaps didn't know it (yet)... all pertaining to a newer'ish' player.  And... there's alot of newer'ish' players (I need to add that term to my sig.) here on Cardschat.
 
Yes it can get monotonous hearing it over & over again but can you not relate to 'what it was like' when you were first starting out?  I can.  I can recall a particularly long stretch of excruciating beats, going 21 games (SNG-STT) w/o cashing (having only played around 100 games at the time, just starting out playing online).  It was a shocker to me at the time.  I actually posted about it (not here on CC) & fortunately at the time, there were a couple of more experienced players who didn't pick me apart too harshly (not saying you have here at all... just sayin' what I'm saying in hopes of 'remembering what it was like').
 
OP, it is 'normal' for MTT play.  I'm sure if we put up a pissing contest for badbeats you'd be amazed by some of it.  And as was already mentioned, some VERY GOOD players will often have 1,000game losing streaks (ie. this one guy I used to rail a bit, had over 2,000game+ downswing, losing over $30k... and was a low-mid. stakes reg., & prior to this was profit +$300k with well over 20,000 tourneys played).  
 
You just have to learn to blow it off.... not focus on it at all (if possible).  It gets easier over time (but not always).
