Hello Hollow Knight and Silksong community. Gonna be a bit more of a serious post so listen up please.

So. I've noticed a certain trend of comments since hmm.. last year maybe, of a lot of ppl discouraging other people when it comes to being excited about Silksong in June.

The main argument being that if you post or comment about being excited for Silksong, or even just saying you want to play it soon, you're somehow rushing the developers. I'm not even gonna touch the 'coping/copiem' comments, but we gotta stop this.

I'm all for giving the devs as much time as they need, and it seems they've used their time well and are still working diligently. I dont think they'd let Xbox announce Silksong if it wasn't in a ready enough state to be out in June, seriously. They know what they're doing, and I'm sure they're excited to release the game too!

But just because someone states their excitement or hope about a game coming out doesn't mean they're rushing the devs, and definitely doesn't mean you should "call out" their behavior. Seriously, we're better than this. We don't need to be mocking people for being hopeful about a game coming out.

I know I have absolutely no authority in the Hollow knight Fandom but if even one person listens than that's enough. I've seen so so many ppl in comments or threads get out down for being excited about Silksong. It's even happened to me a few times. It's getting ridiculous.

The Hollow Knight community is one of the least toxic spaces I've ever been in, and it's really sad seeing people behave like this. Makes it hard to want to talk about a game im looking forward to playing when others actively try to push down release date speculation or hope.

That's all I have to say, honestly. I'm just really disappointed in you all. Feel free to reblog and add onto this
