Criticism of Shadowbringers and the hostility there in

[strawberrycake]

So perhaps that's because generally it doesn't happen and most people in the fandom never come into contact with the idea?

It's backwards logic to assume that if people aren't talking about a thing, they must know about it and be deliberately ignoring it.

Oh you're right, and I wish that were the case, I've sadly met people who've heared about it and think the FF community would never do something like that. Even in the case when Scottzone showed proof, still didnt believe it.

There were also they very detailed death threat with the TEA clear with Sfia, I believe some of his IRL info was leaked, and another creator made a video about why he dislikes XIV, he was met as well with death threats. I do hope these are simple one time occurences. But still things that happened showing the extreme side of the community which could also lead to an aversion to speaking out about the game if its not positive, thus making criticism rare.

Which goes back into my main point, enourage it either way. Always encourage criticism.
