My impression of English Forum

[Jeeqbit]

however, the more I looked into the English Forum, the more my curiosity turned into sadness, and interest into horror; the amount of hatred toward not only other players, but also the game and developers themselves are very scary to see, for, in my 20 years of gaming, I'd never seen such a hatred from the community that "loves" the game before.

I agree with you. Any criticism should come with a healthy amount of empathy, understanding, seeing things from others' perspective and considering that players with other interests than their own exist and need their interests served by the developers as well. But this is frequently lacking among English speakers for some reason.

I don't understand why it is lacking. Other people just aren't like me I suppose. When you live in an English-speaking country you just have to endure this.

There are those of us who try to promote two-sided debates, empathy, respect for the developers, consideration of other perspectives, but it's always going to be hard to do among English speakers because hot takes and selfish opinions are very common among us.

To see the community of the game I love devolving into a self-hating and toxic-spewing is not only sad, but also disappointing.

It's just the forums. Most people don't visit the forums, especially the people who are newer to the game or happy with the game. This is where people come to complain and that's really it, so you just see complaints most of the time.
