Gnarly Eddy's Boyfriend
This can be asked for many social-based games, but Splatoon has been the only videogame I've played for a long time. I know this is first and foremost a me issue, but I struggle to stay passionate about the games I play because I always come across bad crowds, whether it be from social media or bad sportsmanship within the game itself.
I don't do this anymore, but I had fun creating "custom weapons" for Splatoon, new kit variants with their new art and such, but I seriously only ever got people cursing or making fun of me for not doing a good enough job. I feel like whenever I try to have fun, from sharing gameplay videos or creating art projects, there's someone who wants to take things more personally and/or go out of their way to ruin my experience for not sharing the same mindset.
From what I've seen, people are used to this sort of thing since they have grown up alongside the behavior with online games over time, but I have been terminally online since I was a kid and for some reason developed that sort of awareness. I'm currently in therapy and covering this topic, but I was curious if this has been an issue for anyone else out there or if there's any advice I could take away from here.
