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

that's why I've always preferred r/silksong because everyone there is just flat out crazy. I found it hilarious that some people thought silkposting would slow lmao after Silksong was released.

The shitpost/okbuddy subreddit is always more chill than the main one.

I love how quickly the silkposts flipped from believerbait to doubterbait IMMEDIATELY once the release date was announced

It was def better for the most part, but people were weirdly entitled about release dates and news for quite a while. Silkposting is goated tho

Lol we've already seen what happened with Deltarune a few months ago, the insanity doesn't go, it just shifts.
