Spamming spells is cheap. [Rant]

Over the last week-ish while I've been playing Hollow Knight, I've time and time again found myself frustrated with a boss to the point that I go online (on reddit, usually) just to see other people raging about the same boss, as a sort of reassurance to know that it's not just that I suck (even though I do), it's that the game is really hard.

But inevitably you get people in the replies telling the OP, "Ha this boss wasn't hard I beat it on my second try just git gud," and that stuff is infuriating. But what I noticed is that a lot of people saying that also explained how they beat said boss -- and the overwhelming majority of them just spammed spells.

Now, let's be clear, spells are a perfectly valid thing to use. But using builds that allow you to facetank bosses and just spam spells right back at them? That requires no skill. So, if you've had to resort to such a cheap strategy, how about you don't then come on reddit and tell everyone that the boss is "ez" and they just need to "git gud"? Because clearly it was too hard for you to beat properly.

For the record, I'm not done with 112% yet but I'm at 108%, including the first Pantheon, the Path of Pain, and Trial of the Fool. And I've beaten every single boss so far without spamming -- or even using -- spells. Hell, I only used the Nail Arts on the last thing listed above. So I'm not just getting angry that I'm not good enough to beat the game -- I just think it's ridiculous that people who have to use cheap strategies then act like they're great at the game and everyone else sucks.

Anyways this has been my rant I know this is really stupid but I had to get it out lol
