"The hostility and entitlement in this sub is hard to bear"


#PokemonGO: I'm subscribed to more than 250 subreddits and I gotta say, the community of /r/PokemonGo sure is one of the most hostile ones of all those subs.Niantic is one of the least communicative developers out there and /r/PokemonGo is one of the biggest and fastest places to stay informed about the game's development and mechanics, and yet questions about basic stuff seem to be frowned upon and get downvoted.Insults and hate towards other people are way too common and nobody seems to care. In a sub of a game which is not only played by teens and adults, but also by little kids who shouldn't experience this hostility when they're trying to stay informed about the game they love so much.I'd like to state /r/TheWitcher as a perfect example of how things could be. Everybody over there is loving the game so much that they're HAPPY to explain all the basic stuff over and over and over. Yes, often enough answers could have been found by using the search engine, but they don't care. They're just happy to share the love to the game with others, especially newbies, because their enthusiasm and joy makes them relive the love for the game.Look at /r/TheSilphRoad. A comment can't even contain the word "fuck" without being removed automatically. Yes, some may say this is a little bit too much, but that's 1000 times better than the stuff that's going on in /r/PokemonGo.I don't know if my post should be directed to the mods or the users or maybe both, but I'd really like to see things change, even though I won't expect anything to happen. Haters gonna hate, but I needed to get this off my chest. It's just sad that one of the biggest communities (or maybe even the biggest community!?) of one of the most special games out there is so toxic./rant via /r/pokemongo http://ift.tt/2oz46nX
