oh I have walked in on the funniest fandom thing Ive ever seen on reddit

r/silksong is a discussion turned shitpost sub for Hollow Knight: Silksong, a sequel to Hollow Knight that doesn't exist (yet(?)). my knowledge of Silksong’s development is kinda spotty, Im just here for memes. after 5-ish years, pretty much every post is either sharing edits of Hornet (hypothetical protagonist of the hypothetical game) and making fake teasers and release dates. these all go under the 'silkpost' flair, the sub's dedicated shitposting flair, to show that they are indeed bait and should not be taken seriously. this flair is very important.

other recent events in this sub include a presidential election, and the week where everyone pretended the game came out and posted fake gameplay. there's a lot going on here. the reason for the state of the sub is that Silksong updates from the devs, Team Cherry, are very few and far between. it's hard to have any serious discussion about a game that literally does not exist.

u/E1331 is famous in the sub for constantly making shitposts of varying quality, ranging from edits of the devs announcing releases and cancellations, the aforementioned fake game screenshots, and all the way to fanfiction about the devs losing their fucking minds. this guy's credited with keeping r/silksong alive.

these are all posted under the silkpost flair. everyone on the sub checks flairs before they even read posts due to the amount of fake hype being posted. everyone on the sub knows that these posts are jokes.

however, because it's always fucking something, isn't it, recently u/E1331 went and posted some fake screenshots of the devs shitting on other indie games, of which I only have the deleted post, as part of his usual posting.

some time later, he had to make this post:

no indication that this is a joke.

and the general reaction from the community:

and yea, I get it, those screenshots could've fucked up Team Cherry's reputation if people believed them. google AI is already scraping reddit shitposts to pass off as actual information, and misinformation spreads like wildfire nowadays. apparently google already says that u/E1331 was sued by TC according to a comment I saw. shit's getting weird. I understand why TC would go out of their way to wipe this from the internet when people outside of r/silksong might take the screenshots seriously, with no way to know any better, and slander the company. nobody can really blame them for doing this.

it's just really fucking funny.

also this was u/E1331's last post before the announcement:

Yk I find it funny the comparisons of Vi and Ellie as “angry redheaded lesbians with equally dead father figures” (yea yea I know Warwick’s still a thing but for all intensive purposes Vander is dead to Vi at this time) but I Do find it funny that Caitlyn’s probably going to mirror more of Ellie’s revenge thing in S2

Now is Caitlyn going to “murder everyone in Zaun to get to Jinx” in the same way Ellie did to Seattle? No… but an unhinged revenge lesbian is still an unhinged revenge lesbian 🤷‍♀️

(I Also want Soft Vi to deal with Caitlyn barreling headfirst into things like Cait did for Vi in S1… probably more of a dream than a reality but ya can’t blame a girl for dreaming!)
