  Who is the miserable one here? You’re hoping for people to be disappointed in a game they’re excited about. Let them have their fun. If the game isn’t for you, no need to hope others don’t enjoy it.

    No, the fanbase has lost that right. God forbid anyone says anything about Hollow Knight that isn’t calling it a flawless masterpiece.

    Any criticism of the game gets immediately flooded with downvotes and inundated with thoughtless comments like ‘git gud’.

    And all of this is on top of the constant peer pressure for people to “just buy this masterpiece of a game” no matter what, and if you don’t like it because you don’t care for games that punch your face in a form of toxic masculine dick measuring, that’s your fault for being a weenie and not reading the Steam tags, despite tags being really easy to miss.

    You don’t see this behavior from other indie game fandoms. Nobody in Stardew Valley’s community is going to bash your for not being into farming or life sims.

    So no, the Hollow Knight fanbase don’t get to have their fun in peace, because it’s filled with massive pricks and they insist on pushing every little detail into its own article that gets shoved into everyone’s feed nonstop.

      I’ve literally experienced none of what you’re saying. Sounds like you need to stop interacting with certain places.

      There are even people in here saying the game wasn’t for them but they’re not being miserable about it.

        I’ve literally experienced none of what you’re saying.

        The comment I responded to is literally part of this. Are you fucking blind?

        Not my fault you seem to selectively turn a blind eye to assholery. But you’re not my problem anymore; let the door hit you on the way out
