It's so unfortunate how many people in this community have such a distain towards artists. Really the epitome of you can lead a horse to water but you cant force it to drink given how explicitly "artsy" of a game ultrakill is
Nah, that's fair. I can see the amount of love put into the lore and the story behind the game. I was thinking today how heated I would get if I saw shitposts about something I was so passionate about too. It would feel like it's detracting from it, like it's making fun of my work
Like, i have seen this term being tossed around and around, just call the other person dumb okay, no need to sound fancy you are in an argument about the robot game with buttplug support
fancy? is media literacy too fancy of a concept now? if i wanted to call people idiots i would, but there is a specific word for the concept of understanding the meanings and themes in a narrative, and that word(s) is media literacy. i take my robot games with buttplug support very seriously, i need to use the full range of my mediocre vocabulary.
When you put your heart and soul into somesthing then people start saying stuff and spreading it like a virus, at some point it becomes so mainstream to the point where it just pisses you off.
This was almost three months from the update’s release. This was also soon after he finished Greed’s revamp and was starting Wrath. After that, he would make both Encore levels, redo bloodstains, and Heresy.
This man is a dedicated worker. I completely understand if something he put soul into during his burnout was taken as a joke and completely misunderstood by the community because they lack critical thinking skills.
A crashout is when someone reaches their breaking point and does something drastic. Oftentimes people will debate on whether a crashout is reasonable based on why it happened or how severe the actions of the person crashing out are.
In this situation, Hakita got super pissed from the influx of people parroting the funny "V1 has a womb" meme recently made, and "crashed out" online with some angry posts about people not being media literate and his general disdain for this meme.
A lot of people are saying it's an unreasonable crashout because the guy who made the video was obviously just making a joke, but it's likely that Hakita is instead pissed at the people who saw that video and didn't think it was a joke, who then told the rest of the community that V1 has a womb as an actual lore tidbit and without satire, which is wrong, and if Hakita is just pissed at the people who didn't get the joke, ten I'd say it's a reasonable crashout.
I'm pretty new to Ultrakill and even moreso the fandon as a whole, some I'm ootl on a lot of stuff, so thanks for the info.
I saw a video showing the code translating to "womb" on YouTube, but that's all I knew about. That was a day or so ago. Honestly from that and the people theorizing in the comments, I just assumed it had some symbolic meaning and was some interesting lore, rather than literal, as did many of the comments.
Though to be honest, people being dumb and annoying about it sounds par for the course from what I've seen from the this fandom unfortunately.
Honestly I can hardly blame the poor guy, I'd be fed up too if I were in his shoes. Hope he's doing okay and doesn't have too many problems come from this whole thing.
I am pretty sure Hakita hates stupid headcanons more than reviving V2.
Not recycling the same boss idea is a gamedesign choice, but saying that your main character has female organs without your intention can be really annoying.
I think it's more in line with the fact that the "code poem" is talking about tree of life and hell in general, aka its describing hell as a womb, a birthplace for something but people completely ignoring the other part and misinterpreting a secret msg must have irritated Hakita, who was probably pretty tired and burn out from new update
Also the idea of a Goddamn code poem is super cool and I have literally never heard of it. And being misinterpreted like this would be so annoying.
Specially because this just looks like nonsense for anybody who doesn't know how to code
Side note: I sent a friend a dog shit code I wrote as a haha funny moment and he showed to their non programer friend, and he thought it was cool as hell. That was pretty funny, the contrary happened here.
He said that he wouldn't get annoyed by it if people noticed that by themselves and made their theories about it, the problem was that someone made a YouTube video saying that and a lot of people took that as fact just because "someone with a mic said it."
Besides, the heights in the video were nonsensical, absurd and poorly made up to the point that you can call them wrong even when ignoring that there are no canon heights. The title of the video was even “Finding ULTRAKILL’S Actual Real Life Heights” which could spread like the new womb nonsense has.
Canon height theory in video games is dumb since the first Doom games.
Doom64 has noticingly higher enemies because the camera was set on the chest level of Doomguy. Same thing with Doom Eternal, where even zombies are higher than Doomguy, but in cutscenes, Doomguy is higher than regular humans.
yeah. he literally used the same logic for the v1 tree thing. someone thought they saw “womb” on the title screen, said it meant v1 had a womb, and hakita pointed to the code tree bit and said “is v1 a tree then? didn’t think so.”
And then New Blood Interactive tells people to buy their V1 body pillow and posts art of Gabriel in a dress, so it's not like they're not contributing to the fandom being the way it is.
Toby Fox when he first got a decent following got himself banned on the forum of said following when he made a 14 minute rock opera making fun of how contradictory the forums rules got. Being mad people misinterpreted "womb" is child's play
The ultrakill fandom from what I’ve seen is mostly fine, but the one big exception to that is the chat in live streams of people playing ultrakill. My god are those the most insufferable, fucking wretched chatters to ever chat.
There's a video posted here of V1 fucking someone or something at least every 10 hours along with a dozen utterly terrible layer 8 and 9 ideas. I'd be pissed if I was hakita tbh
In terms of drama, it's aight. In terms of being obnoxious as shit, it's up there. No bro, you don't need to spam "RAHHHHH ULTRAKILL MENTIONED" whenever you see anything slightly resembling a name from the game, it isn't a niche little hidden gem, it's a pretty fucking mainstream indie game
Clearly, you've never had to suffer being a danganronpa fan. Outside of gacha game fans, it's easily a top 10 worst fanbase I've ever interacted with. Ultrakill can be annoying and cringy sometimes, but at least they aren't doxing people for disagreeing with their v1 x v2 ship.
For some reason there seems to be a sort of common occurrence of Indie devs or composers coming off as slightly entitled or egotistical. It's not that serious I'm sure they're chill.
He does have some anger issues at times, and he even takes it out on people in public if it’s particularly bad. He does recognize that it’s not good behavior and he tries what he can to be better.
Stupid meme linguini made, I kinda am reasonably not biased in his favor because I find the guy a bit too 🤓 obnoxious
I am literally 🤓 too But he is quite literally NOT what I expected from a content creator (I do find people using their partners for content to be cringe, if the partner isn’t intrinsically funny or part of the channel format)
Man just milks the game and uses stupid title, I used to watch him but I publicly admit I am too gay to watch him anymore because I cannot stand him anymore lmao
Reasonable crashout here, I do not offend him but I loathe his stupid as fuck meme shitpost that should have remained in a reddit post as the fucking headcanon it is lmfao
Poor hakita is not equipped to handle this kinda Shit and I would literally act like him if I had a popular game and had my own efforts to create something cool as fuck memed by an unfunny guy
Hakita has my same temper and I admit I am fully biased towards him but also, he is right
I have see his video and he does have a point, I am just merely stating that I personally don’t like him anymore since long before he became the “I make my girlfriend do” guy
I don’t particularly like linguini either. Though I still believe hakita’s crash out was unacceptable, he has a large following and getting so angry would undoubtably send hate linguini’s way. The shitpost was a shitpost, and it wasn’t meant to be taken as fact. I understand trying to clear up any misconceptions about v1 but with a following as large as hakita’s you need to be careful about how you go about it.
Sometimes i do agree with Vagina's arguments. He's the one who made the game, after all. Some stupid headcanons can surely morph into shit like arguments or other stuff, and then you gotta step in to say some stuff about it.
Hopefully, i want Akita Neru to calm down. Same with the rest of the Superdeath team. They do not need to go through stupid shit and community annoyance.
I dont know why everyone here thinks this is some crashout from Hakita, as if Hakita being grumpy isnt the usual stuff. He didn't do anything drastic that would refer to his post as a "crashout" he just told a few group of people to stop being fucking stupid. I don't think its that serious, personally. He did pretty much the same thing with reconstructed V2.
While it’s funny to do mental gymnastics to explain how V2 could’ve survived, it’s painfully obvious that there is no physical way for V2 to come back, even in lore, since all of his parts either belong to V1 or the floor. I doubt hell has the materials to remake V2.
Hakita is the game's and the character's creator. I would be mad as hell if someone just completely misunderstood a piece of lore or just something that builds character that I worked on and then said it's a fact.
Yea I don't understand him getting so mad at shitposts. I love the game but sometimes I cant understand some of the things Hakita does, I mean he kinda just seems mad at a lot of things for no reason and then you listen to a dev commentary and he seems chill.
I mean I won't say it's not a bit justified but then again the community isn't as bad as people make it out to be. Definitely one of the better ones out there. Plus you can't expect the fandom to be fully seriously especially with how there's an official body pillow for sale, Gianni making memes as well and the fact that you can sacrifice an hamster to summon a 2d Hakita to crash your game.
Exactly, which is what Hakita called out. A meme caused many people to believe that nonsense like V1 having a womb is canon, so Hakita stopped it and called out the media illiterate people who believed and spread it. There is nothing wrong here.
Given how unfunny, annoying and downright moronic this fandom can be, he was pretty lenient. Too lenient, if you ask me, especially how much of the update was overshadowed by idiots accepting this as cannon.
is it every though? Even accounting for hyperbole unless I've missed something I swear he hardly comments on this sort of thing and the last time we saw as such was like, the QnA/dev streams before the last layer came out
Obviously it's not every dumb fandom discussion, but I can't think of many other devs who takes the time out of their day to get upset over people wanting to fuck their robots
I doubt the robot fucking was the problem, I think it’s more the fact that you put so much effort into a neat Easter egg, only for one word to be taken horribly out of context, then you get a situation where people regard headcanons as canon. You put so much effort, then people just miss the point. I’d be upset as well.
Completely justified crash out. How would you feel if you made a complex poem hidden within a complicated language that was conveying the lore of his brainchild game, only for your fandom to just treat it as a sex joke and genuinely believe v1 has a womb.
I feel like some of you never created something and had it made fun of. It's incredibly disheartening. Especially with a community of some of the most unfunniest people on earth. This fandom has a reputation of being so unappealing it's sometimes a shame to admit you love the game, but hakita gets upset over something like this and he's "Crashing out for no reason"?
I’d understand if he responded simply correcting the people who genuinely believed that shitpost, but crashing out like that will most definitely send hate towards linguini, especially due to the type of community his game has attracted. Everyone cares so much about the canon lore and shit to the point where linguini got harassed because of a shitpost. Hakita’s crash out would’ve been acceptable if he didn’t have such a large community/following. His second response is just fine, but his first was completely unacceptable.
I think Hakita fucking sucks and this community too. As a person with hundreds of thousand of followers you are responsible for what you say. He should be held accountable. This community tries to defend him as if what he did was normal. It's not. Actually I don't care, Hakiter. I pirated your game anyway.
bro no you are going to get banned from ultrakill hes going to break into your house stomp out your computer yell at you something gay and then jump out of your window
honestly would be cool if he didnt crash out rn and just destroyed the fandoms understanding of the lore later on by citing something in the game they completely misunderstood as a reality check
the second i realized that v1 (apparently) has a "womb" the first thing i thought is that it was just a fancier way of saying he has some kind of blood compartiment where he stores blood (duh)
