The new Scum Villain chapter makes me wonder if this is how people felt when Silksong dropped. But like, if Hollow Knight fans never even had any hint Silksong was being made and it just appeared one day. And also at the toke a fan was putting on a strange meme-y dancing puppet stream of the characters. So maybe not very similar actually.
