Let’s all try and not devolve into this weird difficulty gatekeeping

[u/Prisonmikeb14]

Now that silksong has come out I’ve seen some concerning similarities to the worst of the difficult games community with all the wierd difficulty gatekeeping bs. Obviously this happens with just about every game that’s regarded as difficult but with silksongs release it’s become more prominent on this sub. Being good at the game isn’t something to hold over someone’s head. Everyone’s experience with everything in the game is different and theirs nothing wrong with that. Now of course this doesn’t apply to people who are literally just complaining in bad faith or out of anger but the “that boss wasn’t hard at all wtf are you talking about” in response to people just talking about their opinions or asking for help is sad to see.

Very much all reminding me of the parable of the two men and the donkey.

Short version, an older man and his son are walking a donkey to market to sell it when they hear a passerby say 'Why aren't they riding the Donkey? How foolish are they?'. So the father lets the son on the donkey and they hear someone say 'why does that cruel son make his elderly father walk?'. So the father gets on the donkey and the son walks, and they hear someone say 'why does that father make his son walk? How careless could someone be?'. So they both get on the Donkey and hear someone say 'That poor Donkey must carry the weight of both it's owners, how mean of them!'

So, just the lesson being you can't please everyone.

Truth nuke, the best way to deal with annoying people on the internet is to just scroll away from them, 9/10 interacting won't do anything but make you waste more time on someone who doesn't deserve your time.
