Please?

Sorting by best I looked through the top 100 posts. I have a spreadsheet if you're willing to look through it.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pWEsiRtEDpJeqYP039otmRxiYxhECY7zLFpU9vWYfqY/edit?usp=sharing

In my spreadsheet the categories are as such

Post: Whether or not Bg3 is mentioned in the title or body

Comments: Total amount of times in which Bg3 is mentioned in the comments

Positive: Positive comments about Bg3

Negative: Negative comments about Bg3

Pros & Cons: Positive, and negative comments about Bg3

Mention: Neutral, and simple mentions of Bg3

Note: For the negative comments I included comments such as "I think production value played a part in the games success". As people tend to react negatively to those comments.

.

Anyways of the 100 posts 17 of them had Bg3 either in the title or the body of the posts. Of the 100 posts 40 of them had Bg3 mentioned at least once in the comments. Of that 40, 31 of them had 10 or less comments.

Of the 31 posts with 10 or less comments the total comments is 87. Here is the breakdown for those numbers.

19/87 are positive

4/87 are negative

1/87 pro & con

63/87 mentioned

The ratio between positive, and negative comments is roughly 4.75:1. With positive comments consisting of 21.8% of the 87 comments whilst the negative comments only consist of 4.6% of the total comments.

.

Of the nine posts with more than 10 comments the total comments is 373. The breakdown for these is this.

Positive: 156/373 (41.8%)

Negative: 49/373 (13.1%)

Pro & Con: 44/373 (11.8%)

Mentioned: 124/373 (33.2%)

With the ratio between positive, and negative comments roughly being 3.18:1.

In total combinging all of the 40 posts with at least one comment about Bg3. Positive comments consist of 38% of the comments, and hold a ratio of 3.30:1 over negative comments. With negative comments only taking 11.5% of the total comments.

.

Conclusion? Even if I inflate the negative comments by including arguments such as "popularity played a part" positive comments still dominate the discourse about the game in this subreddit. Only 17 of the 100 post has Bg3 in the title or body of the post, and only 40 of the posts has Bg3 mentioned at least one.

So the idea that this subreddit hates, copes or is obsessed about Bg3 is simply false. The fact of the matter is that people who adore Bg3 simply cant accept any form of criticism about the game, and instead labels all opposing opinions as hate, cope etc.
