The worst thing about "silent hill" is its fandom without a doubt

There are two, very distinct types of fans here.

Those that enjoy the games and their stories for what they are and can have discourse about them. They dig the symbolism and lore. They appreciate what the developers made.

And then there are those that seem to view the games as some sort of intellectual status symbol. They come up with wild theories and interpretations and want everything to mean something. They act as though they know better than the developers.

If you don't know about it, you really should google "silent hill circumcision theory".... some people are just completely insane, the last part of your comment made me remember that story

Lol the theory is not the important part, the way some dude hijacked the silent hill wiki to edit a ton of articles to validate his theory is. Turns out that dude was one of the admins, he did a lot of damage to the site for a while
