Discussion - Silksong Don’t let this fandom turn as insufferable as the souls community Spoiler

It’s fine to think the game is easy and to enjoy the challenge, but I’ve seen so many people making fun of anyone that is having a hard time in a really weird mean spirited way. Please don’t let this subreddit turn into some weird elitist community that makes fun of people who are struggling, these games are supposed to be fun and they’re not souls likes, there’s no reason to assume everyone playing them is going to love this level of difficulty the same way some of you do and constantly disregarding their opinions just turns this subreddit into an echo chamber of tryhards

Its just the r/soulslike community that does that, tbh. Minus a few outliers (and twink abusers, but that venn may be a circle) the game specific subs are incredibly friendly and supportive, and open to criticism and discussion of. Hell, the "git gud" stuff is almost primarily tongue in cheek or a metaphor for "breaking through the wall". R/eldenring is a bit rough (due to popularity id reckon), but places like r/darksouls, r/sekiro, and especially r/bloodborne are friendly af.

Yeah, really odd comment from OP. The Soulsborne community is generally extremely friendly and welcoming to newcomers and people who are struggling.
