"Everyone's so open and friendly" is a lie

Yeah it’s ridiculous. Personally since i’m more interested in the ascians than the main protagonist cast, and i’m vocal about that i’ve faced a loooot of the typical, “you support genocide, nazi, how dare you like garlemald etc etc,” and it’s just so annoying to put it plainly. People’s love for antagonists can actually fuel really good debate between players but for some reason in this community it’s like some horrible sin.

I feel this is due to 14's story playing into this kind of fan. No stakes and everything works out. Shameful really, they waste a solid world to the altar of the redditor masses.

Unfortunately that seems to be the case. Plus there's a lot of people on reddit who get really angry if you criticise certain fan faves and then the supposedly non-toxic community bares its teeth. I've got rather thick skin, so I just ignore it, but it does amuse me when people claim this game's community is not toxic - maybe most players aren't, but it certainly has its own vocal portions... including people who brag about how "wholesome" said community is.
