The way we actually react to that situation is having wheelchair ramps and elevators. (i.e. difficulty settings in games)
We don't say "Fuck handicapped people, life isn't fair, it SHOULD suck to be them."
You're right, difference being that what you're saying is more akin (following the analogy) to putting wheelchair ramps on a mountain.
Silksong is the mountain, git gud and climb it or shut the fuck up.
No, Silksong is a game, bright moving colors on a screen, meant to amuse and entertain.
You're not an elite mountaineer for pressing buttons faster than a disabled person, to quickly move a spider in a red dress on the screen.
Crying about difficulty in video games isn't going to stop. There are thousands of video games that are not difficult. Play those.
