It's not. As long as they admit that they aren't playing Silksong anymore. As long as they don't try to be a part of the community that genuinely likes Silksong and Hollow Knight. Just like it's fine to play Karaoke while just randomly mashing strings on your guitar so long as you don't tell people that "you are a guitar player". You do you. Just be sure to be yourself and not a poser.Â
It makes me laugh how with videogames people are expected to tolerate ridiculousness that wouldn't fly in other hobbies. You can't throw gutterballs and then yell STRIKE! unironically in a bowling alley. A kid that thinks Soccer is played with hands is fine, but imagine he goes to join a local Soccer team and then insists to everyone that hands are allowed. And when they all tell him they aren't allowed he calls them gatekeepers or whatever.Â
Also I'd like to once again point out that these games already have an easy mode built in. Grind out more souls and level up. They don't want an easy mode. They want things spoonfed to them and they want everything their way.Â

You don't get to decide how other people enjoy their hobbies.
If people want to play their own way, that's up to them, and them alone. They don't need your permission or approval.

No, but I do get to decide whether their hobby is the hobby they claim it is. Someone mashing strings on a guitar with AI assistance isn't a guitar player. Someone that plays Soccer with his hands isn't playing Soccer. Someone that installs a mod that changes a critical aspect of the game isn't playing that game. They are playing a similar looking but different game. Look, I love Shredder's Re-Revenge but that's not SoR2. Someone who only beat Re-Revenge and never beat Rage 2 can't claim to be a fan of SOR2. They are two different games. People don't get to be posers, just because it's videogames.
