I don't hate Cold Steel. I don't even hate Rean. I played all the games twice and enjoyed them and got all the achievements. What I hate is Cold Steels retarded fucking fans who act like no one in the entire world could ever possibly have any criticism of it, not have it as their favorite arc or think that people should only talk about Cold Steel every single fucking waking moment and constantly try to force it into every conversation. I hate that its all people ever want to fucking talk about from this series. I hate that we have to have the same fucking arguments about it every single day.
