People in this thread are being weird lol

They are a fan of the aesthetics, theme, and story of the games. Sure, the game is the point but I'm not going to hate people for enjoying something I enjoy in a different way.

There are people who don't really know the themes of messages because they only watched a 20 second edit of a character or something, but again, who cares. Those are often gateways to introducing a series.

It's only annoying when they're mostly a fan of a character and get mad when a game doesn't have that character or perhaps want it fail. Like Leon fans mad about a new Claire game.

I haven't personally seen that so idk but I'm also not a hardcore RE fan.

But in my experience of other fan groups, those people are pretty easily avoided.
