I'm perfectly fine with people criticizing my favorite stories and frequently do it myself but can you stop being so boring about it
"This scene made me so uncomfortable" given the subject matter, it would be really, really badly written if it wasn't.
"The writing in Borderlands is cringe" - pedestrian. Boring. Uninspired.
"The writing in Borderlands is cringe because it refuses to commit to the bit" - now we're getting somewhere
"The writing in Borderlands is cringe because it's desperately afraid of standing for something" - YESSSSS. ROAST MY FAVOURITE SERIES MORE, LITTLE MAN
I'll say it again, a loading screen tip in Borderlands 3 has a dumb joke that goes something like "Maliwan guns have a bonus 'cool' stat, but it's not visible because you aren't cool if you have to say you're cool." This is advice that the game pointedly fails to take because Borderlands 3, at all times, feels like it's screaming "I'm so cool aren't I cool don't you think I'm cool?" Which is really the least of the game's issues in how it portrays itself.
