I have to unsubscribe from video game subreddits. I simply do not have the mental fortitude to be subjected to a 13-year-old's opinions about Pierre the shopkeeper from Stardew Valley.

Video game subreddits are very hit or miss. The mainstream ones generally suck (e.g. r/pokemongo) but there are always smaller subreddits that are not too bad but have a silly name (e.g. r/thesilphroad).
Clint is definitely creepy and I don't think he's worthy of all the ire he receives for it, tbh! He would benefit from a positive masculine influence in his life; his own masculine influences were all miserable blacksmiths, yk??
Locking the replies because too many of you misinterpreted this as “I bet he wants to hear my opinions here, not on Reddit” and that was frankly very wrong.
Really love when I post a differing stance and it's either a 13-year-old going off on me or just resort to name calling. Really solidifies their stance.
I hear that. I’m still a part of the SDV subreddit but for the most part ignore it. A guy can only take so much “I hate X character”, said with full seriousness, before his eyes roll so far in to the back of his head they tangle.
They hate Clint! Seriously, there's a whole FuckClint offshoot subreddit, which is - and I was genuinely surprised - not about smut for the most eligible bachelor of the vale - they honestly hate him!
Clint is the merchant who upgrades your tools, breaks open geodes, and is one of the only characters to represent fatness in Stardew Valley. Mechanically, he acts as a solid strategic delayer of the player's advancement. Clint has nothing to apologize for. Also, he is fictional, so
Leaving r/gaming and joining r/games is the only advice I can offer. It's much more mature there. They're pretty strict about keeping discourse kinda adult unlike r/gaming where it's puns and off topic shit
my fav thing about video game subreddits is that literally every single one of them has that one specific joke/meme/opinion/whatever and it gets reposted so regularly i start questioning my sanity every time i see it.
i swear reddit's been getting worse and worse (not even taking into account the actual site and app), really feels like people just want to say their piece instead of engaging with each other's thoughts.
It's definitely most common on the gaming ones too.
Pierre is a piss baby for taking credit for my good crops and not my standard ones and I don't want to fight with Brayden from nowhere, middle of about it so I feel you :p
If Pierre had competition that wasnt joja I would support them instead but the nice raccoon lady can only do so much
I can do you one better, I wish I could share the reactions I got on a gaming subreddit when I said there’s a total of 6 girlfriends, not 2 in the story like, in GTA San Andreas. I was told “stop cappin’”. Well ok 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
It's a weird thing with this new generation. Back in ye old Millennial days game discussion was about cheats, hacks, weird deep lore, BS theory ccrafting, min/max-ing, debates on who could be who in a fight, etc. This rage bait Gen is a little depressing for the internet's feature & what they missed
I succumb to my darkest side when joining niche gaming subreddits, then get upset when their takes are inevitably super unhinged, then let my developed frontal lobe give me permission to unjoin. It's a process I find myself in too often

It's so incredibly mind numbing.

On the other hand, the chances of me being exposed to the unmitigated, genuinely-held, absolutely dogshit takes of a 14-year-old are too damn high.

Don't understand the hate for them at all, they're not perfect people but no one is
We can be generous and only let 16+
No nudes, just a bunch of old gamers talking video games.
