What game is this?

For me this is Deltarune
I love shitposting, schizoposting and drawing. But if I were to go to any other website my posts would get deleted immediately for acknowledging that the main character is a man.

dark souls 2, i guess you can delude yourself into thinking it's somewhat good or something

>>712736309 (OP)
Hollow knight, undertale, crosscode, resident evil, yakuza
All great games/series, all full of faggots and trannies.

The Elder Scrolls. I find that people who REALLY like the series to be either the dorkiest insufferable blackhole of charisma old school repugnant nerds or complete casuals who never played a game before Skyrim. It's just a step above the sims for those people. The games are excellent though

>>712736309 (OP)
basically all of them
there are pockets where you'll have good natured fans but there will always be schizos and retards
Deep Rock Galactic is one of my favorite games of all time but by around 2023 it had a resident schizo that would have over 100 posts per thread (we still had an IP counter at that point) trying his hardest to make any and all real discussion of the game fucking impossible and just generally ruining the otherwise positive atmosphere of a coop game thread
you will always have 'that faggot' shitting up your threads
it's happened to me in TES, 40K and armored core threads as well, just one retard with a chip on his shoulder whose life's purpose is spam with the purpose of shutting down discussion

I know too many games where this is the case. Just one autist ruining everything for everyone else out of spite and mods/jannies dont do jack shit. Only time Ive ever seen mods do their jobs for once was some guy on /tg/ samefagging over 200 times in a single threads so his banning sent it from page 10 to page 1 200 posts

>>712736556
not anymore. They were obnoxious in the 2000's.

>>712736556
Because the Final Fantasy brand has been diluted over the decades to the point that there is no united Final Fantasy fanbase anymore, just fans of individual games with some overlap. It also doesn't help that Final Fantasy is a stagnant franchise where the new games doesn't bring any new blood to the fanbase, so it's mostly just a bunch of old people talking about games they have nostalgia for.

Genshin.

Twitter has completely taken over the EN fanbase. Death threats to Hoyo on every female character release. Everything is racism, everything's sexism, all content is garbage, if you like the character you're a gooner, Fontaine is the best and if you dont think so you're alt-right. Artists make a living on "I fixed it :)" """art""" where they literally just took an image of a character into paint and used the fill tool to make them black, and maybe add some half-assed marking around the eyes to say it wasnt just a fill job.

Dont even start about a male character release, jesus fucking christ. The most thristy, lurid, unabashed, degenerate posting you've ever seen, talking about "GET THIS MAN INSIDE ME :P :P" "Get a load of this guy IM TRYING" fucking bullshit. If I were Hoyo I would turn off their forums for a month when Varka's release comes up.

Hoyo definitely made the right call to completely disregard the EN side of Genshin when it comes to receiving feedback. I cannot imagine the absolute insanity they get daily from the west. The game is serviceable, however. Story is nice.

>>712739006
Sure, but there's a good amount of anons calling the game a piece of shit while others praise it to the heavens. On other platforms any criticism is drowned out by ass lickers.
I don't use the steam forums often but I'll occasionally check there for dev blogs, this lead to me to discovering the deep rock galactic forums are filled with these "people". The in game community is great but holy fuck is the forum an insane cult of fanboyism. Seeing people get dogpiled over the simplest shit is just weird.

Been a fan of a certain other gacha/series and you could almost word for word describe it the same way even though it's been relatively niche in the west.

It's plain bizarre seeing how completely disconnected the EN community is from the type of content the JP community produces and promotes.

Souls games

The Super Mario World hacking community. I just think it's fun to build cool levels and share resources. Unfortunately, the community is absolutely infested with extremist trannies and communists. Who would have thought a community around hacking an old game could become so obnoxious.

>>712736309 (OP)
I think a better question is, what game DOESN'T this apply to? I feel like any concentrated talking spot for a game is icky currently.

>>712739747
A friend of mine had a fucking aneurism when he played Resident Evil 4 (2005) for the first time and still hasn't recovered.

But this seems common. If a franchise starts in one genre people seem to think it needs to stay in that genre and I don't agree. I thought Gears Tactics was fun for example.

My problem with Silent Hill Book of Memories wasn't that "they turned it into Diablo" it was that it was shit. "Of course it's bad Silent Hill its a survival horror series not an ARPG" isn't the approach I use for this stuff.

Any small group of hobbyists these days will become infested with fucking trannies. Its like their modus operandi as a person is subverting existing communities so they can place themselves at the top

>>712739006
On 4chan I can tell others to kill themselves over their shit taste in waifus without anyone giving a shit. Other places (especially the ones with a noticeable LGBT presence, particularly the fucking Ts) I have gotten banned for saying such sexist shit like
>I don’t care if the female characters look sexy but I still think they should be visually appealing
>If the devs don’t want to add an easy mode then they shouldn’t have to, not every game has to appeal to everyone
>I mean they’re fictional characters, who cares if their costumes are more stylistic than practical?
>Y’know, when you post shit like "STEP ON ME MOMMY DOMMY" whenever someone posts a slightly fit woman in here, that’s the same kind of sexual objectification shit that you’re always whining about ThE gAmErS doing
That last one got me kicked out of two different discord servers at once for "defending rape culture" or something, I’m too lazy to check.

A fanbase is the perfect target for the socially maladapted and narcissists. Its just a group of people that like a thing so liking the thing the most makes you have more social power in the group. As the fanbase grows larger more of these people show up creating content for the other fans (art, community projects, memes, etc). And the more shit that gets created the more the focus of the fanbase goes from the actual subject and instead changes to be about who the top dogs of the fanbase are.

>>712737357
Toby literally just did the usual shit where the main character's gender is ambiguous so people can project onto them whatever they want, it's the same shit he did in Undertale. The problem is that you have retards who look at characters always referring to Kris with they/their pronouns to faciliate this, and then say "SEE THAT'S THEIR CANON PRONOUNS SO THEY'RE NON-BINARY", ignoring that literally EVERYBODY refers to them this way, even people who literally just met them. So everybody just magically knows they're non-binary? Or is it the obvious explanation of Toby just letting you make Kris whatever you want them to be?

Like god damn, I don't even fucking care if you want them to be non-binary, you can literally already do that because of how Kris is designed, but they're not even satisfied with that, they NEED Kris to be non-binary so they can have a "representation win", and it's one of the reasons I can't stand the fucking deltarune reddit because everybody there seems to fellate this narrative. God forbid you bring up how Kris is inspired by Varik and almost certainly designed to be male.

Show me in the game where it did or did not happen.

>>712745525
>so people can project onto them whatever they want
While I understand why a blank slate character like that makes sense, constantly being referred to in gender neutral terms takes you out of it unless you really do identify as a they/them. It's one of the few scenarios where being able to select your pronouns at the start of the game would actually be useful. The MC's design is intentionally androgynous, their name is whatever you want it to be, so why not also let you also be a he/him, a she/her, or a they/them if you want to double down on the vagueness?

>>712747578
i mean, i can kind of understand with deltarune, because you're not really supposed to be kris, but they're still allowing you to project onto them a bit despite that. maybe if you actually did create your character he could've done this, but toby seems to want to allow people to do what they want, but also deliberately avoids the topic, if that one interview is anything to go by.

This. The amount of mental illness online these days (half of India isn't even connected to the internet yet) is staggering, and video games, having absolutely zero barrier to entry, tend to attract the most braindead niggercattle you can think of. Look at how many "people" still buy FIFA yearly, how many people buy remakes and remasters despite the artistic merits and guts of said games getting ripped out of their ass, and how many people will subscribe to Patreon scam games that will never, EVER fucking get finished.

It's all fucked, the best anyone can reasonably do now is either play and talk about vidya in their small friendgroups, or just enjoy vidya on their own in silence.

>>712736309 (OP)
It's definitely all the cumbait games like Stellar Blade or Vindictus (just to point out what's being shilled right now). If you see the game, buy it, play it, and like it without ever interacting with the online discourse, you've won so fucking hard. Imagine getting into Stellar Blade without having had a full year of OWN THE LIBS and THIS GAME IS SEXIST and yadda yadda shoved down your throat.

Every game and every fandom. You should all try enjoying stuff on its own merits, without the weird groupthink of "fandom".

>>712736682
>Now more importantly, what are some of the best fanbases?
The .hack// fanbase, i swear those guys are like a cult or something, every thread you find about the franchise, you even learn new stuff about the lore, and most shitposters are just ignored.

Faggot crybaby thread

>>712736682
>black souls(have a feeling that's about to chage)
This. I was just some horny retard who wanted to blast nut when I first played Black Souls II, and like 5 anons just said "filtered" when I bitched in /2dhgg/ about it, but when I tried again some months later, going to the thread humbly and asking "I cannot beat this faggot rabbit, can anyone please help me? I don't know how to proceed, and it's all so confusing," I was met with really helpful anons who gave me solid advice. People were nice in general and loved talking about the game, which was a breath of fresh fucking air.

Granted, that was before even the first DLC, so maybe that kindness has been twisted my mental illness and shitposting retards.

I only ever play tycoon games so all the fan bases are just people posting their current builds. Never had any drama.

All of them. You should never interact with a fanbase, because the game becomes a part of their identity and anything and everything you say is taken as a personal attack. Not to mention the amount of trooning and mental illnesses in general.

It's a really good game, in spite of everything. NV had one of the absolute worst release states I've ever seen for a AAA game, and it remained pretty fucking awful on console, especially PS3. If that wasn't enough to kill it off, "tranny vs chud" discorse certainly won't.

This fucking kills me. I miss the comfy Tales of threads and even fucking /jrpgg/ before it was nuked. Zesteria, and more importantly, Hideo Baba, did irreparable harm to the series. And no, I do *not* miss Onso.

>>712775375
/pw/ is a special case. Like 1/2 the board is pajeets. Sometime in the 2010s they began thinking Roman Reigns was a jeet and began to literally and unironically worship Vince Mcmahon as an avatar of Vishnu. 1/4 of the board is SEA Monkies that spend all day, every day, making thousands of posts each gooning over various female wrestlers. The remaining 1/4 is a grab bag of the mentally ill, transsexuals, unironic pedophiles, alcoholics, drug addicts, and actual no shit Down's Syndrome people.

And that is still better than dealing with wrestling fans in real life because you don't have to smell or look at them.

Basically if you like watching wrestling don't go to shows or talk about it with people online ever, or it will make you hate wrestling itself through association.

I'll say so, Zesteria was my intro to the series.

I've hated discussing this series on the internet for a long time. 4chan's the only place that gets close to decent gameplay discussions without the egos involved, but the other half of the fanbase doesn't care much about gameplay. Discussing it anywhere else is just people calling you bad for not playing the game like they do.

>>712742857

You're serious? If anything, it might be somewhat better due to the consensus that XV is an incomplete, messy game, and XVI isn't much worth the time. Generally speaking, though, you can't talk about Final Fantasy without copious amounts of shit being thrown.

I don't ever meet people that discuss the games, but I guess online discourse is different. I imagine it's just waifu posting.

>>712747578
>While I understand why a blank slate character like that makes sense, constantly being referred to in gender neutral terms takes you out of it unless you really do identify as a they/them.
Yeah, I agree. We don't have an explicitly gendered language like Spanish, but it's gendered enough in the sense that they/them is just not an acceptable pronoun without it sounding bizarre. No English speaker in the history of the planet has felt comfortable referring to a person as a 'they.'
Even the tranny types know they have to force it, because they're hoping it will BECOME normal if they just force it hard enough for long enough.
Having everyone in the setting use they/them is a noticeable political choice that implies Kris is genderqueer, whether Toby meant it to or not. It's not cannon that Kris is some kind of agendered queer, but he definitely comes off as one.

>>712779049
>No English speaker in the history of the planet has felt comfortable referring to a person as a 'they.'
Well, not specifically, at least. In a general sense, it's not abnormal at all.

>>712736474

Human society is steadily getting uglier. Our architecture, style of dress, etc, it's all becoming more utilitarian and functional. I think it's mentally unhealthy for humans to live in concrete warrens the same way it's mentally unhealthy for zoo monkeys to be trapped in ugly enclosures.
No wonder mental illness is going up and people are prone to spazzing the fuck out.

>>712779220
If you walk up and call someone 'they' instead of using their obvious gender, anyone who's not a Portland fag (Who's forcing it.) is going to look at you like you just insulted them to their face at worst, and even at best they'll just sneer and humor you because you're acting like a pervy retard in public when you do that.

>>712763795

Honestly I don't know too many people who actually play tabletop but love Warhammer (both fantasy and 40k)
Like they'll still buy the occasional mini they like and just paint it for fun but actually playing is rare. I think about the money I blew on just playing casual MtG back in the day. Warhammer seems to be even more brutal on that front.

>>712779580
I think you missed my point. When you refer to a general, unnamed person as "they," it's not seen as abnormal. It's actually pretty common in speech as a general pronoun. It's in the enforcement of pronouns where the problems arise.

I did miss your point.
>It is abnormal to call someone they in conversation
Is essentially what I said
>It's not abnormal to call an unnamed person they in other, detached contexts
Is what you're saying. Which, you may as well be saying "they is a word that was invented for other purposes other than what you're referring to."
To which I say... So what? The scenario I was talking about is an altogether different scenario than what you mentioned. It's just some semantic BS to weasel in your perverted method of speech. Of course I'd be confused with you. I don't understand why you would even bother pointing that out unless it's just some narrative grift.
Kris isn't called a "they" in some hypothetical sense as a human being who exists by some person at a different location.
People say that to his face, in front of him, about him, specifically. That comes off as meaningfully strange unless you're an alien or a total faggot.

Like most RPGs, it attracts terminally online autists, so both nazis and trannies are concerned

For me, it's Balatro
For some reason this game became the poster child for liberal brainwashing. The game itself has no mention of anything related to sex and yet the community loves turning it into trannyshit. Every shitty art anyone makes features in game Jokers sucking each other's cock. Almost every streamer has a rainbow flag somewhere in the layout and half of them are actual trannies
The other day there was a multiplayer mod tournament on Twitch featuring the most popular streamers and they had to choose a charity where the hosts would donate money to their charity of choice. You guessed right, all of them chose tranny related organizations to donate money to. It's all so fake too, you could tell the streamers were pressured into it and didn't actually care
I almost feel bad for liking this infested garbage

>>712779437
Mentally illness is going up and never going down because western society in its infinite arrogance treats it as a private issue instead of a cohesive one. The pandemic of mental anguish that afflicts our time cannot be properly understood, or healed, if viewed as a private problem suffered by damaged individuals.

One only needs to look at the past. What was present or was not present that had kept society more or less mild mannered and less insane in the early to mod 20th century. What changed? What is present now or is no longer present that is causing mental illness to be record high and suicides to be at their peak in developed nations?

The real bitter feeling is that people are so dogmatic when it comes to the way of how society should be governed and led that it is impossible to ask and solve these questions because the answers as is the nature of such things are so much more complex that a pragmatic approach is at the very least required. But if that means taking something from one camp instead of your own then it means admitting defeat to that camp for some reason and it means that it will be broadly be appliead with the hickesr brush to all canvases of life, so all refuse. One will never admit that maybe for this (insert scenario) that this socialist author had an idea worth diving deeper and looking into or that maybe this ultraconservative pundit has an insight that very well could be the key. No way but hes on the other team I cant possible betray my dogma like this. No they are wrong!

This lunacy is a 21st century problem. And its a new one, its not something you can go back to the history books and find the answer and its not one you can drive past and hope it resolves itself through trickle down progress of what has been established. No it requires a new entry in academia and it has to be addressed in a new way. And that can not be done while most of the world clings to centuries old political ideas and constitutions.

There was still less suicides and non violent mental illnesses going around. So the lead was not it. Yes it probably did cause many mental illness that were violent in nature but that's not what is prevalent in this day n age

>>712781292
I do think mental health problems are increasing, and it's due to grand systemic forces. But I think we only have these grand systemic problems because the human race is technologically advancing faster than our culture can keep up. There's no need for nefarious reasons beyond that. The mere existence of social media, vehicle centered urban development, the erasure of third spaces, I could go on, it all compounds into a slow decay of mental well-being.
I think you're looking for PEOPLE to blame when you should be blaming the material circumstances we live with instead. We live like this, think like this, and feel like this because of the reality of economic and technological forces. The culture being toxic is a tertiary symptom of those forces.

But good god, turn off the lobby posts and never interact with a Splatoon fan. Splatoon 1's lobby posts were okay, repetitive and not funny for the most part but whatever. Then they took away miiverse with 2 and it's been downhill ever since. I'm not sure why people decided to use Splatoon as a furry and/or political platform but here we are. Then I'd go into the /v/ threads and it's image dumping, avatarfagging, and circlejerking. I walked in on people ERPing the other day. At least most of them are actually playing the game though. Then I'd look for Splatoon videos and it's like the worst youtubers with retard opinions and just bad content. Only found one guy that just made good guides and some decent shitposts. Unfortunate he hasn't really played the game in a while now. I looked in the biggest(?) Splatoon discord once but can't say I was very impressed with that either, seemed like usual faggot behavior.

Game is colorful and appealing to younger audiences so it will attract lots of people who are (mentally) children. Compare the unlikeable people in Splatoon to the unlikeable people to map autist games (like hoi 4) and you will notice the difference, different games have different problems (older/niche games can have better communities but not always). But also in general I think fandoms/communities have gotten worse overtime in general.

>A 1983 article in the New England Journal of Medicine by Jerome Nriagu, a geochemist, rekindled a debate that had been dormant for almost two decades. There, and in a book published later that year, he argued that "lead poisoning contributed to the decline of the Roman empire." Yet, a review by Scarborough, a pharmacist and classicist, found the book to be "so full of false evidence, miscitations, typographical errors, and a blatant flippancy regarding primary sources that the reader cannot trust the basic arguments." He concluded that, although ancient authorities were aware of lead poisoning, it was not endemic in the Roman empire nor caused its fall.
It seems like you're just full of shit and peddling conspiracy theories.

The per capita chart you posted conveniently omits the time periods where the absolute peaks were, making it seem like a recent relative peak is the absolute peak.

I don't understand how people can watch youtube video essays, reviews etc. that were created post monetization and blatantly done by some performative faggot reading off of a script purely for money without feeling shame at themselves and disgust that people like that have infested the internet now. Those things used to be the territory of passionate spergs who actually gave a shit about what they are waxing poetic over, not "professional" pieces of shit doing it to make cash.

I played Hades on release. Wasn't for me but I got it, I understood the appeal. Even then I simply refused to open a single thread on /v/ about it. I didn't even want to know.

you seem to be confusing "lead poisoning used to be common" (extremely well established common knowledge) with "lead poisoning literally caused the fall of the roman empire" (some rando's crappy book)
literally go to the wikipedia article this guy copypasted from and read anything above or below that paragraph to get endless examples of non-rome-related shit

if some dumbfuck writes a book saying germ theory caused 9/11 does that mean germ theory is now fake?

>lead poisoning used to be common
your initial claim was that "everyone used to eat lead". now you're retreating behind "it used to be common". and common where? maybe in the US in the 1950s or something. definitely not everywhere, or across all time periods.

>>712782926
>why suicides per 100,000 is different from total suicides??
Because there hasn't been exactly 100,000 people living in the US since 1900 you triple hyper retard. This board really is dumber than /b/.

This is basically it. 4chan is the last place on the internet where you can truly “leave it online”. Day to day if you get super heated and have a crash out or call someone a slur or do anything else profane or debauched you can step away, chill out, come back and forget about it tomorrow. If you do that anywhere else you are gonna catch a ban, or have people stalking your other accounts, or have the moderators breathing down your neck, or have someone trying to police you from there forward etc etc ad nauseam. 4chan you can get emotional, have your angry rant, and just keep on going the next day. It’s incredibly relaxing compared to the alternatives.

same I liked the lore and played Warhammer online a long time ago, recently tried ROR, it's ok.
I played space marine 2 and now understand why so many autists love space marines so much, they're kinda cool

I've found games like snow runner or roller coaster tycoon, rally or racing games, or anything that requires some masculine autism to enjoy tends not to attract a bunch of tranny weeb freaks

>>712736474
Fuck man, this place is literally the only place to have any reasonable discussion about anything really...

I think it stems from a parenting and cultural problem myself. A lot of people who claim to be mentally ill are just shitty people who show little to no actual symptoms of anything and are just liars who have never had to face consequences for their actions, that or people who were just poorly socialized
"social anxiety" and it's sudden prevalence is what makes this evident, at least to me. I'm pretty sure everyone with an IQ over ninety gets it, it's just most people touch grass and get the fuck over it
If you're afraid to go to a store it's not cute or quirky it's fucking pathetic and shouldn't be a disorder

Touhou and Deltarune
I love the setting of Touhou, I find the characters fun and the music to be kind of nice, but good fucking god. It's either people treating it as the second coming of Christ, or the /bant/ shit that is the threads here. It's gotten bad enough to where you can't even start a thread. Some innocent naive motherfucker will get his thread deleted even for trying to discuss the games, simply because every thread is raided by the same third world shitposters. /jp/ has all its highest PPM threads be the ones that aren't Touhou. And that's just on 4chan.
Deltarune has a clear audience and that audience in the West is colored hair people, but the threads here are a lot of fun at least.
I think actual shoot-em-up games still have a decent fanbase. They have the same type of autism as speedrunning, but somehow they attract way less pronoun people. It's pretty much just arcadefags.

>>712753973
Me, read a ton of books, they're fun pulpy action pieces, and played the games. Still don't know how the tabletop plays, nor would I invest all that money into it.

>>712780065
men just do the needful, i actually laugh at women: they have no balls to kill themselves, so they have to come up with ever more elaborate ways to drug themselves so they can cope with the world. In some cases, they even mix the drugs with alcohol for maximum copium efficiency, but because some of their drugs suck as and do not mix well with alcohol, femoids go even crazier. men just get a gun and do the needful.

>>712736309 (OP)

I had the fortune to have a childhood without the internet. Just think how bad many zoomers have it. Being born with a smartphone in your lap, having ALL your activities either monitored or posted online, all the shit you do at school, anything you do with your friends. It's all recorded and it can be used against you. Now imagine your golden years (18-24) being during the height of the pandemic. Holy shit it's nightmarish.

4chan threads are 95% bait every single moment of every single day
outside 4chan it's nothing but unhinged schizophrenia over head canon/fan fiction brain rot that they believe is genuinely real OR it's absolutely insane rabid haters if genshin that do everything they possibly can to try and make your unborn children despise the game too

I start hearing this "they" shit only from american streamers around 2 years ago, everybody else use "he" to describe some weird robo-ork-beast in a game

for me its becoming senran kagura, mostly because its literally impossible to discuss on /v/ without that lunatic soda retard spamming his garbage, and the /vg/ thread barely ever responds when i want to actually talk about the games because they're more interested in their millionth waifu sex post. and i dont think theres even an alive community for the series outside of this site lol. guess its my fault for getting into it late though when everyone else already talked about everything

I stopped going to generals for any game I play a long time ago. If I need anything I just get it from Reddit since they're at least productive and don't turn the thread into their personal discord server. Same with /tg/. The thread I used to frequent is now just schizo grogs attacking anyone trying to talk about the game and pushing their own fucking vault projects with a total of 3 fans. 4chan is unironically shit at anything that isn't bannable information at any other place.

Yeah this. Seen too many people who aren't actually into the series but into the performative advantages of it being "popular" but not "too popular" so to speak. Only fucking series I've seen where people need to make a giant stink about losing interest in it instead of just moving on.

>>712795398
Not even Twitter?

>>712795398
I didn't even know that shit had gameplay. People only ever post about the sexy girls.

Anon I don't think we ever had a "community" for that shit. You can literally open any senran thread ever made and it's the same shit, just people stroking their dicks all the way down.

>>712797126
It's an action game or something. I used to look at the threads sometimes but typically the only webms I'd see would just be stuff like the one attack cutscene(?) of one of the girls getting their ass pounded like a drum in the literal sense or something like that, it's been a while since anyone gave a shit about this series
Never tried the main games but there was a TPS game called Peach Beach that some people actually posted gameplay of and I decided to try it. It's not bad. Fun in a low budget way. Not something I would actively recommend but I had few complaints for a 5/10 game.
There was also a pinball game that was like $40 for two tables.

Pizza Tower. How the hell a crazy but good game had such obnoxious fanbase? And don't get me started with the shipping crap!

>>712736708
Fallout as a whole for me. There's not a piece of media in this franchise that's less than good.
The originals, Bethesda games, New Vegas and the show all have different great things going for them and if you liked any Fallout thing you should try them all.
The originals have great worldbuilding and player agency.
The Bethesda games have great exploration and the now extinct 'Bethesda magic' from Oblivion and Skyrim.4
The show is fun and enables you to talk to normies about the franchise.
And New Vegas has a little bit of all the above.

Pokemon. I just jerk my cocklet to the critters.

don't get me wrong, I like the world and rise, but the divide they caused and all the new people they brought into the threads completely ruined discussion

>>712783418
so... who has the biggest tits? I'm thinking SotN Maria.

FromSoftware fan groups are interesting. It reminds me a bit of joining a gym:
The experienced and skilled veterans are encouraging and welcoming. The newer, intermediate guys, who are just starting to get better, are more arrogant and hateful and not liked by anyone

Current fanbases have become a breeding ground for the mentally ill. I would argue it was always the case, but now shit is out of hand. Not the only reason why interacting with them is horrible, but it is one of the bigger and most recurring one.

Resident evil

>>712744451
>DON'T play [GAME] bro, it's CRAZY

>>712743397
That's usually the problem, yeah. Social interaction is a part of coming together to like <thing> together, but bad actors make it about the social side almost exclusively, and the fans eat it up because monkey brain thrives on drama. Doesn't help that online fandoms are often full of teenagers with nobody to rein them in.

>>712736309 (OP)

You can't be serious. The FF fanbase was always hyper obnoxious about their favorites and shitting on other people's favorites, and often still are. I could post on this board how 9 is the best and I'd get shit on by FF7 fans.
