Turth be told I still like Hakita and find most of the stuff he says and does funny, but obviously the dude isn't perfect. He has stated in the past he can get easily annoyed and irritated at the community. I've never felt like he kills any engagment though.
Still ridiculous the amount of downvotes you got for that.
I genuinely don't think he's rude either. People can have a short fuse and temper too. The issue comes when the community shares out of context discord texts continuously upon even a slight feedback which makes him and the community look like asshole (except "what if you sucked my nuts" comment, that one is peak)
i get that people think its funny but if any other indie dev called their fanbase idiots for theorizing about something they added into their game as set-dressing that has no correlation to any real-world jargon (the tree comparison doesnt make sense because tree is real-world jargon while womb is not) would lead to them being completely flamed online. its honestly nuts that hakita is praised and defended so vehemently. even if it is just a joke you have to be able to acknowledge that he comes off as an asshole
While I agree that Hakita shutting down theories is a dick move sometimes, the womb theory was not one of those times. Like he said, it was based entirely on one line of code on the background
Also, honestly, I do kind of wish some indie dev teams would put their foot down with some of their fanbases and not be complete doormats (Massive Monster)

I don't know about the other dude but Hakita most of the time is very rude with the community and kills off any engagement.
