There's a sub called /r/patientgaymer where they talk about avoiding hype and AAA Ubisoft slop, mostly because they are too poor.
One often slapfight inducing topic is difficulty, where boomer 
postwall gaymers lament their inability to have the same millisecond reaction time at the ripe old age of 31 vs their tween years, and how they enjoy gaymes on easy mode when their kiddies have finally gone to sleep or whatever.
Their natural enemies are the ultrastrags of Soulslike gaymers, where they have only one singular measure of worth in theri NEET 
lives - beating the most DIFFICULT games of all time!! Darksouls, the true value and bragging rights of a g*mer
Between the 2 groups the Soulshit cute twinks are the more obnoxious, any mention of easy and soul in the same sentence makes their eternal turbo g*mers lose their collective 
Soulshit isn't for p*ssies! It's a manly man's gayme! Any suggestion of future Soulshit having an easy mode for grandpa, even if modded is an affront to god.
Right anyways for todays

Boomer gaymer says he enjoys easy mode, fights ensue
Most gaymer soy speech ever:
"We are always looking to improve, but, in our games specifically, hardship is what gives meaning to the experience. So it's not something we're willing to abandon at the moment. It's our identity." -Hidetaka Miyazaki
It's toxic AF to respect the developers vision for their own games? Criticize it all you want, but at least respect their artistic integrity. 
Defenders of Soulshit come forth!
Soulshit tantrums prove the guy right
RELEASE THE DOWNMARSEYS AGAINST THE HERETIC 
easy mode r*pes the integrity of the experience! or something
"There are untold hundreds, thousands of games with an easy mode, and people still find ways to throw shade at the handful that don't." wat 
"No, try criticizing a From Software game for excluding difficulty settings and you will quickly be downmarseyd." DIE B-WORD DIE
Dark souls has a target audience 
just like any other game and any given game isn't going to be able to cater to exactly everyone. Even the games with a variety of difficultly options, because that game even with difficulty options may just not be their thing. The point of dark souls is that it's difficult, that is the “experience” I HAVE SO LITTLE DIFFICULTY IN LIFE I NEED CHALLENGE IN MY ESCAPISM FRICK YOU
Difficulty settings is not something that should be forced on developers
What the frick are these losers talking about lmoa
Translation: 
my farts smell so good

I hate this dumb age cope. There are professional fps players in their 30s, fighting game pros in their 30s and many speedrunners are also 30-year-old manchildren. And yet people say they cannot longer physically play Dark Souls? Give me a break. Souls games aren't even particularly hard or difficult. I think even compared to the harder levels of something like Celeste they are a joke especially because you can basically create your own difficulty.

Also in terms of reaction time I'd say sekiro is probably the only fromsoft game that really demands this. It's a rhythm game first and foremost but even then once you get used to it it's not impossible

There are evo tournaments (samurai showdown) where the average age of the top 8 was over 40.

Yeah but that's not because these players are exceptionally good but rather because nobody plays that shit.
If there aren't 16 year old talents in your competitive sport or game, it is basically dead.
