Meanest: The Deceit fandom has a high concentration of assholes. The devs have attempted to crack down on the numbers of racists and misogynists with limited success. The fandom is part of the reason half the lobby tends to die in a shootout before the first night arrives.

Weirdest: Snowbreak Containment Zone. The people from China who disagreed with a fictional character cheating on them with another fictional character migrated to this game. Here, the female cast wastes no time in expressing their undying love for the player every chance they get. Regrettably, the Containment Zone could be leaking because the CCP wants to toss the developers in jail for degeneracy.

Nicest: Honestly? The fandoms around small time visual novels. Controversy doesn't really appear, so they're quite nice, if rather vacant.

    I was at first interested in playing a shooter with hot women in it. Don’t mind admitting that. But the way so many gacha games develop this parasocial, intimate bond with the self-insert player character (and of course, the players that vote for that behavior) becomes freaking creepy.

    I want to be talking with New Character XYZ casually about how flimsy her dating life is, how she’s shallow for trying to get guys to pay her checks, and how she plans to take out frustration against monster-of-the-day baddies. I don’t want to meet and find out she’s so crazy for me she murdered every office worker that frowned in my direction that day, and that the VA lists her sessions for the game on her calendar as “that porno company”

    Snowbreak reminds me of the Cult of Takumi route from Last Defense Academy.

    The MC takes some smack that gives him the aura of a Master Love gacha protagonist. Eventually the gacha units stop giving a shit about the MC as a person and only care about how being around him makes them feel good. Then certain unspeakables happen.
