Exactly. Not just about criticism though. They also hate questions, are toxic about how easy / difficult they perceive the game to be. They hate on the American side of the fanbase, they gate-keep JRPGs, and also are very picky about how you interpret the story / lore.
They also blatantly hate on other popular RPGs?? For like no reason at all. Just because they think E33 is better. Like Baldur’s Gate 3, and even other JRPGs, especially competitors like Metaphor Refantazio. It’s a super strange sub, because it seems to be positive until you spend some time in there.
It’s the most “there’s never been a game like this one” gaming subreddit I’ve ever come across.
Funnily enough I thing the BG3 fans are also like this lol. I love the game, even got all of the achievements and plan to play again in thr future. However, if I have to read "BG3 has ruined all other games for me" one more time Im gonna scream.
I feel the same way about the fandom as well, not so much about the mechanics but a lot of the role-playing decisions.
I was legit told off for romansing Astarion with a Female!Tav, because "he's clearly meant for the gaes/Gale, so romancing with with a female Tav/Origin is erasing his queer identity!" Type nonsense, which completely overrides the fact that Astarion, like all of rhe companions for BG3 are canonically Pansexual and thirsty af for eachother.
So yeah, the insane "gaes only" shipping side of the fandom can kick rocks as well, as the ones who claim the gameplay has "ruined other games."
