I feel like I’m not good with words, so when I criticize popular things like Baldur’s gate 3 or Witcher 3 I usually get downvoted

People put BG3 on a massive pedestal and any sort of valid complaint around launch was heavily downvoted. It's not quite as bad now, thank god. I got gaslit so much. Everything was my fault supposedly, not their perfect, polished game.

I don’t remember the exact complain, but I think I said something about battles taking too long and someone ratio’d me with a comment “skill issue”

That's how I feel with nearly any online conversation. I'm on the spectrum and have social anxiety. Not a fun combo for trying to be understood when being critical about anything really. Let alone someone's favourite game.
