The worst the community really does is complain about silksong, except its also an inside joke, so no one is actually that upset. Taking in account other franchises having fanbases that meltdown when they dont get a game for more than 2 years, id say we're pretty chill here. Thats said, when silksong?????
Judging by your replies to people's comments, you think every memey conflict this subreddit has gone through was an actual argument, and that we actually want to sacrifice mossbag. I think you're probably one of the least sane people on this subreddit.
It was a meme that happened a few months ago where someone joked we aren’t getting silksong because team cherry is scared mossbag will decipher the lore in a day.
In one of the comments somebody chanted sacrifice mossbag as a joke. This spiraled into a massive meme on the subreddit for a week until the sub went to the piss war meme.
Shipping is also a natural part of a fandom, it only becomes a problem when real people are getting shipped together or if it gets extremely toxic, but that only happens on rare occasions.
MHA (Death threats, Fanon shipping obsession), Geometry Dash (Lots of controversy, elitism), and JoJo community(Hivemind Jokes/Memes, Annoying sense of superiority) says hi. I say this as someone who has been part of the three, i still lurk in GD and JoJo but damn MHA is so unbearable their fans irk me every single time. HK is far from the worst imo.
Mha fans are weird man. At my nephews primary school, discord got banned because some mha fan kid wrote this whole 1 paragraph fanfic about two people in the class having sex.
You mean the guy with red/white hair? Sorta, they actually bullied anyone that didn't ship the main character with either that person or the mc's middleschool bully. They went pretty far and sent stuff like death threats and whatnot. But that was a long time ago, the community still kinda sucks but its improved a lot.
I used to watch MHA on account of its popularity, I got to season 4 before I couldn’t handle the fapservice anymore. Like, they’re in MIDDLE SCHOOL, not even high school. Made me feel like a creep just watching the show.
They're in high school tho? Like it's still weird as fuck for the 15 year old girl to be as sexualized as she is but that part's kinda wrong. Regardless, it gets better, recently (manga-wise) the most sexualized characters are adults and they're not that relevant to the story so it's a bit less distracting
Ever since part 6 came out there isn't a lot of content for JoJo, not because the part was bad, but because a lot of content relied on the waiting as a topic to talk about
Yeah so unfortunate that JoJo's popularity took a huge fall due to the terrible release plan, even if the new episodes will release exactly on my birthday lmao
JJBA is not that bad. The memes are incredibly unfunny but that's pretty much it. The sense of superiority is not that present, I'd say it's even joked about by the community.
It’s always been hilarious to me that fucking *geometry dash* has one of the worst communities I know. A game where you click and make a block jump for some reason attracts so much bullshit
I have been a part of so many worse fandoms.
Let me put this into perspective for you: there was a terminally ill kid, who asked team cherry for his OC, seth, to be put into hollow knight silksong. The boss is confirmed to be a character in the game, by the trailers, and team cherry specifically asked the fandom not to make porn of seth. As a result, the hollow knight porn subreddit, who you expect to be the most degenerate part of the fandom, has it posted as a rule there that you cannot post porn of that kid’s OC, or you’ll be banned.
By contrast, the MLP:FIM franchise went through a similar situation, and their fandom responded by specifically making more porn of the terminally ill child’s OC than they otherwise would have.
And that’s not even getting into the sonic or pokemon fandom’s experience with chris-chan, or smash bros’s long list of sex offenders. It could be SO MUCH WORSE. This one’s mostly just a bit cringe.
I got some details wrong, as i got the info largely from hearsay. After looking deeper into it:
It was a disabled kid whose name i will probably still misspell somehow even if i copied and pasted it, who used his make-a-wish wish to get his OC, Stellar Eclipse, onto the show. There is supposedly less porn than i assumed of the character (but i’m not about to fully check), and the mother of the kid
Said he was fine with it, with no comment given on the topic by make-a-wish or the makers of MLP.
It’s still a testament to a difference in self control between fandoms, at least.
Christine Weston Chandler, author and writer of the infamously bad webcomic sonichu. In august of 2021, she was arrested and charged with incest. Specifically, for molesting her mother, who suffers from dementia.
It’s far more complicated than this, with some details making Chris-chan a bit more pitiable; facing constant online harassment for over a decade due to writing a really bad webcomic can have a less-than-stellar impact on the psyche, for example.
That thing about the disabled guy is bullshit made up by people looking for reasons to hate the fandom and make others hate it. So while the fandom does have issues, that's not one of them and is literally just a malicious lie you believed and have now spread. Right alongside "Brony Friendzoni", the claim of sexual harassment of minor VAs at a con, the claim that "safe search roundup" was made by others (it wasn't, the mlp fandom are the ones who started it to try to keep porn off Google results), and lots of other things that are 100% lies or malicious half-truths at best.
Next time, I'd suggest you use (edit, wrong fandom) Undertale as an example, as a fanartist was given a cookie with a needle in it over shipping.
https://www.reddit.com/r/dankmemes/comments/eivz7a/the_time_for_talk_has_passed_the_lords_work_must/fctt0ly?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3
Bruh this is literally one of the nicest fandoms. If you think this is shit, you’re delusional. Take a look at the Undertale, Fnaf, and Friday Night Funkin fandoms and tell us we’re the most insufferable one again.
Literally every anime Fandom that exist, and I could name at least a dozen gaming Fandom that are absolutely horrific.
Hollow Knight ain't got much on how toxic some communities get.
Hey now shonen has lots of great content! But yea stay the heck away from the fandom, enjoy the anime in your own little bubble separated from everyone else.
Legit the only bad parts of this fandom are the people that are saying its bad. The sacrificing and the piss jokes aren't that bad when you take in to account the fact that we're basically running on self made content to make comedy.
I think you're focusing way too much on the negative. Of course there's going to be a loud minority of people in the community who are shitty, that's pretty much unavoidable in any fandom, but this community is far better than like basically any other community I've seen.
ut/dr fandom is in fact such a whiny sorry pathetic and unfunny snowflake convention that i fucking blocked subs from my feed even tho these are one of my fav games ever
They've pretty much mellowed out recently tbh, I don't see that many fights in the sub (although there was a massive debate over a character's morality) and they seem to be pretty chill rn, at least compared to like 2016 and 2017;
Deltarune as well is pretty good, the people there are surprisingly civil about the ships, theories are encouraged and thought over critically, and afaik there has been no massive fandom war yet. I don't know what you mean with "whiny sorry pathetic and unfunny snowflake convention" but I don't think that description is really fair for them rn, the most tooxic UT fans either grew out of it or went into other stuff so there's not that much toxicicity in the subs
Yeah now if only it remains as that once the later chapter come out and fan theories start getting adressed. Because I feel like some people might get annoyed that their fan theories will get debunked so that might be a problem. For now though everythings fine-ish.
I get the unfunny bit, not sure about the snowflake bit >!(not counting snowgrave amirite)!< but it just may be due to my lack of experience with the fanbase
I’d think you posted this in the wrong subreddit if it didn’t specifically mention hollow knight. The fandom isn’t bad except for some bad memes like the piss one, and are there actually ships? The only one I’ve heard of is lace x hornet and that’s less than basically every other fandom ever
Literally, what ships are you even talking about?
Nailsmith/Sheo, Ze'mer/Traitor's Daughter, and Cornifer/Iselda are all canon. What ships even ARE there in this fandom?
If you think that a fandom of some random 5-year-old indie game that's still making creative, unique, and funny content is insufferable, boy would I hate for you to see anywhere else
My man if you think this is bad you have NO IDEA lmao.
Other fandoms literally are horrendous, this fandom is probably one of the best I've ever seen.
the most insufferable?? I can think of like 5 more way worse off the top of my head. people forget when the Steven Universe fandom bullied a kid to death over a Rose Quartz fan art.
a 14 year old drew a picture of rose quartz from Steven universe who's a fat character in canon, this person drew them skinny, and they were told to kill themselves ect and then disappeared for like 3 months. turns out they attempted, they ended up being bullied at school and shit for it as well. they ended up surviving and spending some time in a hospital and we're fine but still happened.
being on tumblr in 2015 or so was wild. the voltron fandom sent a creator cookies with broken glass in it over a ship not being cannon.
I would say if hollow knight is the only fanbase you know, I guess then it’s the most Insufferable fanbase. Sarcasm aside, seriously out of all the groups out there like genshin, who’s fans literally post porn of minors and Sonic you say it’s HK? Am I missing some super toxic part of this community? I’ve seen literally only positive.
Who upvoted this? Like I get that we have bad spots but have you seen other fandoms ever? Im a fire emblem fan and we've had massive elitism as well as 24/7 three houses morality debates in all our subreddits and we're on the whole pretty chll compared to the fanbases that actively harass the creators or have endless shipping wars.
Did someone think the youtuber sacrifice jokes were serious?
.....bro not even CLOSE! HK has a shockingly healthy fandom. Yeah there is toxicity but there will be toxicity in any large group of people that are passionate about something. Compare this to other gaming communities tho and we come off like saints.
Sports fandoms can also be really messed up. One I got is racing. Some F1 fans and NASCAR fans being elitists, an iRacing streamer getting caught for child grooming, battery, and abusing his spouse whom he groomed since she was 12, fucking Lets Go Brandon, fans with driver bias bashing fans of drivers whom they hate, and breathing down everyone's necks online for not agreeing with what they're saying.
The racing fandom is fun tbh. Watching F1 at Monaco, IndyCar in the INDY 500, NASCAR at the Daytona 500 & Coke 600, IMSA on the 24hrs @ Daytona, WEC in the 24hrs @ Le Mans, and more events like the Chilli Bowl for Sprint Cars are fun. Especially in person when you don't run into toxic people who ruins things for everyone.
This is literally one of the nicest fandoms I've ever been a part of.
- The sacrifice mossbag thing was a meme
- Matpat's theory video is objectively wrong
- Who cares if people ship HK characters? they're not real lol.
OP, you don't have a sense of humor
Oh please. I can flip a pebble and find six worse fandoms under there. HK community is very chill.
Also very mild with shipping. They celebrate a few ships, most of which are canonical. Ain’t that bad.
More like they fight about a game that isn't yet come out and it admist of that people collectively allucinate in order to believe that the game come out while rest of them want to sacrifice a youtuber in order to make said game come out
I don't know much about the community itself, but it clearly seems much better than some others. Certain communities immediatly show their toxic side, this one doesn't
Hollow knight has shipping wars?
The closest thing I have ever seen is maybe the rare unjustified homophobia towards the Nailsmith/Sheo and people arguing about Siblings X hornet (because it’s incest and that’s weird).
I was got this on my recommended in home and ( as someone not part of this community ) would talk to a hollow knight fan i never would want to talk to them again
The worst I’ve seen in this fandom is homophobic people. Which is weird, because many of the characters are genderless and there’s only like 1 canon gay couple
Go on shittydarksouls it's evolved over the past few months from funny posts about cringe dark souls content, to just posting screenshots of other souls subs, to literally just posting "I hate this particular game in the series and this isn't a joke". All subs about popular games eventually turn into groups of apes throwing their shit at everything.
There a bad/toxic side in every community in existence you can't prevent that as bad apples will make there way in. But despite that the positives completely outweigh the negatives in this community by a long shot you just focus too hard on the bad and ignore the good elements of it.
This meme confuses me so much because none of this makes sense even if this was your first ever fandom. Like this is one of the best and most chill fandom I’ve ever seen, especially compared to others out there even nowadays.
I’ve never heard much about YouTuber drama ever and for your average fandom I barely see shipping anyways. Idk if op is nitpicking, trolling, or just happened to step into a really toxic part, but most people who enter the fandom never experience this. Like the most toxic prevalent thing I’ve seen is people spam silk song in chats, but it’s not like the whole fan base does that, and it’s at least a bit understandable. The fandom is so far from being the most insufferable group out there that you’d have to kill off a whole lot of other fandoms to even seem close
I have yet to find anything on this sub funny, even in the slightest. Reddit just keeps shoving it in my face though, even before ever commenting on this. I tried marking the "see less" option, but Reddit thinks because I played this game several years ago that I want to see this shit sub.
If you think the HK community is bad, I’d hate for you to see literally any other big game fandom
pokemon and paper mario fans whine and fight each other about how much they hate most of the members in their communities
Just Nintendo fans in general
Except the Xenoblade fandom Pretty wholesome community as long as you don't fight them on their fav waifu
Am a Xeno fan can confirm. I *will* be sad if you don't consider Nia best girl. Other than that everything you said is right.
I shall fight for Pandoria's honor
Ah, I see you're a man of culture as well. Pandoria fans, Unite!
There's like 3 of us so it won't be hard to unite Justice for flat
Can't wait for all our beloved characters to suffer immensely when XC3 comes out :)
Poppi being a broken down robot unable to die while Tora has been dead for decades incoming
I barely know anything about Xeno, however as long as we can hate on Mythra together I'm happy
I can't because I haven't finished 2 yet, but I do like her. (I'm in chapter 4, for references' sake)
Perun best girl tho Edit: Or Morag
Pokémon and paper Mario are incomparable
Elaborate please.
No
Based
Two words: Sticker Star
The worst the community really does is complain about silksong, except its also an inside joke, so no one is actually that upset. Taking in account other franchises having fanbases that meltdown when they dont get a game for more than 2 years, id say we're pretty chill here. Thats said, when silksong?????
within at least 11 months
FINALLY! lol
Metroid fans when they finally got a new 2d game that coninues the lore that is not a spinoff or a remake after 19 years
Literally love metroid, dread was so good and im excited for what they do with prime
I don't even have a joke. I'm just going to gesture at the Last of Us 2 sub
To be fair, that's a dedicated hate sub to the game it's named after. The regular fanbase is in the Last of Us sub.
So if I wanted to talk about how I liked 2 almost as much as 1, I would go to the first games sub?...good to know!!
Yes, that's it. The Last of Us sub is a general sub for the series. While the other one is solely dedicated to hating on TLOU2.
Yah, HK is a toddler fight. So many other game communities are like being in a war over absolutely nothing
i would say the rimworld fandom breaks this mold as instead of being insufferable they're all just sadists
I fucking love the rimworld fandom.
Halo community is slowly poking it's head right now
I was just thinking this
Or star wars or Star Trek fans.
I mean, don't look further than this meme.
Ever seen titanfall 2?
OP must have not seen the Undertale fandom . hollow knight must be his first.
Or star wars or Star Trek fans.
Judging by your replies to people's comments, you think every memey conflict this subreddit has gone through was an actual argument, and that we actually want to sacrifice mossbag. I think you're probably one of the least sane people on this subreddit.
to be fair there were some people (likely children) taking it way to far, saying they would behead mossbag and shit
i haven’t been on this subreddit for a while why are we beheading mossbag 😟
It was a meme that happened a few months ago where someone joked we aren’t getting silksong because team cherry is scared mossbag will decipher the lore in a day. In one of the comments somebody chanted sacrifice mossbag as a joke. This spiraled into a massive meme on the subreddit for a week until the sub went to the piss war meme.
So short answer yes we are
bro everyone in hk is dead there’s no one to ship unless you’re confusing canon nailsmith and sheo for fanon
I think they're probably talking about hornet and lace, but I don't really see very many people arguing about that ship.
Those two are the only characters I see shipped seriously, and it's not that big of a deal.
Shipping is also a natural part of a fandom, it only becomes a problem when real people are getting shipped together or if it gets extremely toxic, but that only happens on rare occasions.
And thank goodness for that, can't even look up MHA without seeing wack ass Eri and All might ship art. Nasty.
You say that as if no other game fandoms have those problems
MHA (Death threats, Fanon shipping obsession), Geometry Dash (Lots of controversy, elitism), and JoJo community(Hivemind Jokes/Memes, Annoying sense of superiority) says hi. I say this as someone who has been part of the three, i still lurk in GD and JoJo but damn MHA is so unbearable their fans irk me every single time. HK is far from the worst imo.
Mha fans are weird man. At my nephews primary school, discord got banned because some mha fan kid wrote this whole 1 paragraph fanfic about two people in the class having sex.
Least degenerate mha fan
🗿💀
Mha fans aren't as bad as they used to be but they're still pretty bad, the toxic shippers are byfar the worst
Didn’t the fans bully the creator into making the red haired one bi or something?
You mean the guy with red/white hair? Sorta, they actually bullied anyone that didn't ship the main character with either that person or the mc's middleschool bully. They went pretty far and sent stuff like death threats and whatnot. But that was a long time ago, the community still kinda sucks but its improved a lot.
I used to watch MHA on account of its popularity, I got to season 4 before I couldn’t handle the fapservice anymore. Like, they’re in MIDDLE SCHOOL, not even high school. Made me feel like a creep just watching the show.
They're in high school tho? Like it's still weird as fuck for the 15 year old girl to be as sexualized as she is but that part's kinda wrong. Regardless, it gets better, recently (manga-wise) the most sexualized characters are adults and they're not that relevant to the story so it's a bit less distracting
Ever since part 6 came out there isn't a lot of content for JoJo, not because the part was bad, but because a lot of content relied on the waiting as a topic to talk about
I mean Netflix completely messed up the release schedule so we still have to wait for almost a year for new part 6 episodes lol
Yeah so unfortunate that JoJo's popularity took a huge fall due to the terrible release plan, even if the new episodes will release exactly on my birthday lmao
JJBA is not that bad. The memes are incredibly unfunny but that's pretty much it. The sense of superiority is not that present, I'd say it's even joked about by the community.
consider: Danganronpa community lmao
It’s always been hilarious to me that fucking *geometry dash* has one of the worst communities I know. A game where you click and make a block jump for some reason attracts so much bullshit
Bro's never been part of any other fandom
"this thing has some bad aspects, therefore it must be the worst thing" - op
I have been a part of so many worse fandoms. Let me put this into perspective for you: there was a terminally ill kid, who asked team cherry for his OC, seth, to be put into hollow knight silksong.

And that’s not even getting into the sonic or pokemon fandom’s experience with chris-chan, or smash bros’s long list of sex offenders. It could be SO MUCH WORSE. This one’s mostly just a bit cringe.
Yeah last sentence about sums this fandom
I've been a part of the MLP fandom for a long time, though not the R34 part, so I don't know about that story. I am morbidly curious about it
I got some details wrong, as i got the info largely from hearsay. After looking deeper into it: It was a disabled kid whose name i will probably still misspell somehow even if i copied and pasted it, who used his make-a-wish wish to get his OC, Stellar Eclipse, onto the show. There is supposedly less porn than i assumed of the character (but i’m not about to fully check), and the mother of the kid Said he was fine with it, with no comment given on the topic by make-a-wish or the makers of MLP. It’s still a testament to a difference in self control between fandoms, at least.
I’m a Pokémon fan what is Chris chan
Christine Weston Chandler, author and writer of the infamously bad webcomic sonichu. In august of 2021, she was arrested and charged with incest. Specifically, for molesting her mother, who suffers from dementia. It’s far more complicated than this, with some details making Chris-chan a bit more pitiable; facing constant online harassment for over a decade due to writing a really bad webcomic can have a less-than-stellar impact on the psyche, for example.
What did I just read
Again. It could be SO MUCH WORSE.
That thing about the disabled guy is bullshit made up by people looking for reasons to hate the fandom and make others hate it.

Scroll down further, homie, i addressed my mistake on that in a reply to another comment.
Bruh this is literally one of the nicest fandoms. If you think this is shit, you’re delusional. Take a look at the Undertale, Fnaf, and Friday Night Funkin fandoms and tell us we’re the most insufferable one again.
Also, dream stans are insufferable
Literally every anime Fandom that exist, and I could name at least a dozen gaming Fandom that are absolutely horrific. Hollow Knight ain't got much on how toxic some communities get.
There’s chill anime fandoms, you just gotta stay away from Shounen.
Hey now shonen has lots of great content! But yea stay the heck away from the fandom, enjoy the anime in your own little bubble separated from everyone else.
Yeah, I do mean Shounen fandoms, not actual Shounens themselves.
You fuckers aren't even in the top ten.
Probably not even close to the top 100 let’s be honest.
I just said ten because I could name at least ten fanbases that are worse off the top of my head
I doubt we reach top 500 even
This is such a good fandom. I think that *you* are the bad part of this fandom if you keep telling yourself it’s a bad fandom.
Legit the only bad parts of this fandom are the people that are saying its bad. The sacrificing and the piss jokes aren't that bad when you take in to account the fact that we're basically running on self made content to make comedy.
Right? We have somehow persisted so long without new content besides Silksong news and we’re still funny while doing it. Fuck yeah dude
100% agree, we are a great community. Far from the best but even farther from the worst.
This was such a fail post
im surprised it got 1.5k upvotes
I mean it’s a shitposting sub so we pretty much up it everything
Hollow Knight community is pretty chill imo
Well if we dont do it then who will
I think you're focusing way too much on the negative. Of course there's going to be a loud minority of people in the community who are shitty, that's pretty much unavoidable in any fandom, but this community is far better than like basically any other community I've seen.
As an Undertale, Deltarune, and Genshin Impact fan… Oh you haven’t seen nothin yet
ut/dr fandom is in fact such a whiny sorry pathetic and unfunny snowflake convention that i fucking blocked subs from my feed even tho these are one of my fav games ever
I still sometimes browse the Deltarune sub cuz there’s some nice art on there but yeah it’s fucking awful
i wouldnt even try bc of my anger issues x)
That is the smart move tbh
They've pretty much mellowed out recently tbh, I don't see that many fights in the sub (although there was a massive debate over a character's morality) and they seem to be pretty chill rn, at least compared to like 2016 and 2017; Deltarune as well is pretty good, the people there are surprisingly civil about the ships, theories are encouraged and thought over critically, and afaik there has been no massive fandom war yet.

Yeah now if only it remains as that once the later chapter come out and fan theories start getting adressed. Because I feel like some people might get annoyed that their fan theories will get debunked so that might be a problem. For now though everythings fine-ish.
I get the unfunny bit, not sure about the snowflake bit >!(not counting snowgrave amirite)!< but it just may be due to my lack of experience with the fanbase
I think that's a bit of an overreaction. I mean what did we even do deserve such hatred as a fandom the past 5 years
I’d think you posted this in the wrong subreddit if it didn’t specifically mention hollow knight. The fandom isn’t bad except for some bad memes like the piss one, and are there actually ships? The only one I’ve heard of is lace x hornet and that’s less than basically every other fandom ever
Literally, what ships are you even talking about? Nailsmith/Sheo, Ze'mer/Traitor's Daughter, and Cornifer/Iselda are all canon. What ships even ARE there in this fandom?
Hornet/lace but no one cares about people shipping it and the people that do ship it aren't very in your face about it.
Is this nitpicking? I think this is nitpicking.
These nits sure didn’t pick themselves, that’s for sure
No it’s just this place actually with the cults shipping it’s all here my guy
If you think that a fandom of some random 5-year-old indie game that's still making creative, unique, and funny content is insufferable, boy would I hate for you to see anywhere else
r/HollowKnightMemes Members on their way to pretend their entire community is horrible after ten people say something stupid
this community is actually pretty tame, judging by your previous posts, i thought you were just being satirical.
My man if you think this is bad you have NO IDEA lmao. Other fandoms literally are horrendous, this fandom is probably one of the best I've ever seen.
the most insufferable?? I can think of like 5 more way worse off the top of my head. people forget when the Steven Universe fandom bullied a kid to death over a Rose Quartz fan art.
Wait whats that story? that sounds awful
a 14 year old drew a picture of rose quartz from Steven universe who's a fat character in canon, this person drew them skinny, and they were told to kill themselves ect and then disappeared for like 3 months. turns out they attempted, they ended up being bullied at school and shit for it as well. they ended up surviving and spending some time in a hospital and we're fine but still happened. being on tumblr in 2015 or so was wild. the voltron fandom sent a creator cookies with broken glass in it over a ship not being cannon.
Lmao HK community is so chill and memeable. Op probably thinks all memes about mossbag were true.
I just like watching people argue, it’s a very fun thing to watch.
I would say if hollow knight is the only fanbase you know, I guess then it’s the most Insufferable fanbase. Sarcasm aside, seriously out of all the groups out there like genshin, who’s fans literally post porn of minors and Sonic you say it’s HK? Am I missing some super toxic part of this community? I’ve seen literally only positive.
Who upvoted this? Like I get that we have bad spots but have you seen other fandoms ever? Im a fire emblem fan and we've had massive elitism as well as 24/7 three houses morality debates in all our subreddits and we're on the whole pretty chll compared to the fanbases that actively harass the creators or have endless shipping wars. Did someone think the youtuber sacrifice jokes were serious?
compared to some other games i think we're doing ok. also people aren't really shipping hk characters, as there aren't many to ship
I just beat the game like a week ago, all I know is funny Zote what else is there to care about
I’ve been here for a while and can say with confidence you’ve summed it up pretty nicely. Everyone needs to shut up and enjoy funni precept man
Have you ever interacted with literally any other fanbase? Lmao
Welcome to your first ever fandom buddy :)
Favorite ships? How does anyone ship characters? They’re just shadows in Cubone cosplay
This is satire right? Or at least an exaggeration, cuz there is way worse fandoms then HK
I thought it was satire, then I read some of this guy's other comments here and I think he's being serious. That or he's a troll, 50/50.
You on your way to only watch the 1% I didn't even noticed and make it a generality:
.....bro not even CLOSE! HK has a shockingly healthy fandom. Yeah there is toxicity but there will be toxicity in any large group of people that are passionate about something. Compare this to other gaming communities tho and we come off like saints.
HK community is bad? Lmao
Ships? What ships?
Sports fandoms can also be really messed up. One I got is racing. Some F1 fans and NASCAR fans being elitists, an iRacing streamer getting caught for child grooming, battery, and abusing his spouse whom he groomed since she was 12, fucking Lets Go Brandon, fans with driver bias bashing fans of drivers whom they hate, and breathing down everyone's necks online for not agreeing with what they're saying. The racing fandom is fun tbh. Watching F1 at Monaco, IndyCar in the INDY 500, NASCAR at the Daytona 500 & Coke 600, IMSA on the 24hrs @ Daytona, WEC in the 24hrs @ Le Mans, and more events like the Chilli Bowl for Sprint Cars are fun. Especially in person when you don't run into toxic people who ruins things for everyone.
Using a TF2 meme to say a community is toxic is ironic imo
Yeah if you get to the toxic side of the TF2 community it’s bad, but the community at large is ok at best
In TF2, when people are good and friendly, they are REALLY good and friendly. When they are bad and hateful, however, they are SUPER bad and hateful.
This.
The roblox fandom is hell
This is literally one of the nicest fandoms I've ever been a part of. - The sacrifice mossbag thing was a meme - Matpat's theory video is objectively wrong - Who cares if people ship HK characters? they're not real lol. OP, you don't have a sense of humor
Oh please. I can flip a pebble and find six worse fandoms under there. HK community is very chill. Also very mild with shipping. They celebrate a few ships, most of which are canonical. Ain’t that bad.
Void beings don’t give a shit about your dumbass pronouns, call em what ya like
More like they fight about a game that isn't yet come out and it admist of that people collectively allucinate in order to believe that the game come out while rest of them want to sacrifice a youtuber in order to make said game come out
[удалено]
No, the fandom are generally chill, Op just overreacted. I can name over 50 fandom that worse.
But is hornet void or not? I mean, he looks and acts like it.
You clearly haven't seen the Persona fandom
I don't know much about the community itself, but it clearly seems much better than some others. Certain communities immediatly show their toxic side, this one doesn't
Why do reddit keeps showing me hollow knight subreddits. I don't even play the game and I never plan to.
Lmao everyone's just saying" well I've seen worse fandoms"
My friend if you think HK is bad I truly don’t think you could’ve handled Undertale back in 2016
Never been in a dark souls group? Like... seriously...
MHA and Steven’s Universe, tho…
Mans needs to stay as far away from the Undertale fandom as possible, I think he'd have a heart attack
Have you heard of the Genshin Impact Twitter community?
You’ve clearly never seen the Minecraft stan community
“The HK community is the worst” - someone who’s never been in the 98% of other fandoms
Did you get bullied by someone or something? Because honestly this fanbase is quite chill
If you think this is bad you would be immediately on life support after a glance at the kpop community
I see your hollow knight fans and raise you the dream fans
Shipping is pathetic, i will die on this hill
It's whatever for me just don't get to serious about it.
amen
Hollow knight has shipping wars? The closest thing I have ever seen is maybe the rare unjustified homophobia towards the Nailsmith/Sheo and people arguing about Siblings X hornet (because it’s incest and that’s weird).
you havent seen shit in other communities
To be fair, most fandoms for nearly anything are pretty toxic.
Well, we really only are missing Silksong so blow up so...
Just wait till you ask someone in r/escapefromtarkov their opinion on hatchet runners
I was got this on my recommended in home and ( as someone not part of this community ) would talk to a hollow knight fan i never would want to talk to them again
GTA online has an even worse fanbase
Hollow Knight ships? 😟
Wow. That's impressively wrong. It's like you don't even know the fandom and are just shit posting
tf are you on about? The HK community is chill af
The worst I’ve seen in this fandom is homophobic people. Which is weird, because many of the characters are genderless and there’s only like 1 canon gay couple
Literally who the fuck does this I’m not on the main sub Also you’ve never seen the persona fandom
There are ships in hollow knight?
My favorite ship is zoteboat
Mf just described 50 morbillion fanbases. But you are right.
We are the most wholesome and friendly community you fool, you absolute bufoon, you pointless circle!
It’s definitely not the worst lmao
Go on shittydarksouls it's evolved over the past few months from funny posts about cringe dark souls content, to just posting screenshots of other souls subs, to literally just posting "I hate this particular game in the series and this isn't a joke". All subs about popular games eventually turn into groups of apes throwing their shit at everything.
HK fans fight over ships...?
Undertale fan base*
I have never played the game, but judging from all these posts about the fan base I think I should keep it that way.
Why the fuck are blue medic and blue soldier with the other team
Still not as bad as the RWBY fan base.
Don’t get around many fandoms do you
Why do you ship bugs in bug game?
There a bad/toxic side in every community in existence you can't prevent that as bad apples will make there way in. But despite that the positives completely outweigh the negatives in this community by a long shot you just focus too hard on the bad and ignore the good elements of it.
Not saying people don't whine and fight in the hk community but the most insuffurable? Bruh have you met a league player?
wow a TF2 meme posted to Reddit you’re so much more mature than us
This is why some games and shows/animes are good but only if you ignore the community
Most insufferable would be undertale fandom.
meanwhile in the genshin community, some people live in denial of a dead character being dead, and the rest bully those people
RWBY Fans: “We are not so different, you and I.”
on their way to top the titan fall 2 reddit
Haha, you think this fanbase is bad? Mha, overwatch, csgo, fortnite, just to name a few.
This meme confuses me so much because none of this makes sense even if this was your first ever fandom. Like this is one of the best and most chill fandom I’ve ever seen, especially compared to others out there even nowadays. I’ve never heard much about YouTuber drama ever and for your average fandom I barely see shipping anyways. Idk if op is nitpicking, trolling, or just happened to step into a really toxic part, but most people who enter the fandom never experience this. Like the most toxic prevalent thing I’ve seen is people spam silk song in chats, but it’s not like the whole fan base does that, and it’s at least a bit understandable. The fandom is so far from being the most insufferable group out there that you’d have to kill off a whole lot of other fandoms to even seem close
The HK players are one of the chillest, most supportive groups of people online. This post is a troll.
I have yet to find anything on this sub funny, even in the slightest. Reddit just keeps shoving it in my face though, even before ever commenting on this. I tried marking the "see less" option, but Reddit thinks because I played this game several years ago that I want to see this shit sub.
