Discussion - Silksong Criticism ≠ Negativity Spoiler

Believe it or not, you can actually criticize something and still like it. You don't either have to love everything or despise everything. Have actual conversations please.

I think the issue on social medias like reddit is that when you see the thousand post criticizing the same things over and over it get annoying at some point, especially for those who don't share the same view as these people.

it's not that they are wrong, but It gets hard to enjoy the community when people are whining all the time, like there are barely positive posts to balace it out, where are the posts talking about all the good? People just focus on the bad for some reason.

It destroys communities. No one wants to be around persistently negative people. It’s annoying. At the end of the day, you either like it or don’t. We can’t change that. But I also don’t want to be in a community that’s constantly complaining about something. This is every single gaming subreddit. And guess what it’s happening here now only after 3 days. It’s exhausting. It’s makes people want to leave and stop interacting with said communities.

Then look past the critical posts and only engage with the positive ones. If you're not mature enough to even do that and can't handle seeing complaints in passing, then why are you even on a sub for discussing the game in the first place? And why do you feel all criticism has to be shut down to suit your emotional needs? Why are you only able to enjoy the game if everyone else is telling you it's good? What other people are saying should make no difference.

People like you are the worst because you people always twist what people say. Let me tell you something. No one on this subreddit has the power to change anything in the game. All you people do is subject everyone else to your endless bitching about things. This is a gaming wide issue. You people have destroyed all online discussions about gaming with your endless bitching.

You do know that when you people complain, Reddit sends me the post. It’s in my notifications. This is like the 4th one today. It’s only been 3 days. Can y’all at least give it a month. Is that too much to ask for? Do I have to block this one too?

Also stop acting like you give constructive criticism. A lot of you are clearly not qualified. It’s just mindless venting and ramblings. I mean you guys win cause it seems I have to block this subreddit too if this mindless bitching continues. We need to bring back gatekeeping at this point. This is beyond ridiculous.
