In a surprising twist, members of the r/Silksong subreddit have taken drastic action to combat what they term ‘silksanity’.

These fans have now engaged in performing ritual ban sacrifices of select subreddit members to rekindle hope for the release of the game. The posthumous tributes of the sacrificed members, referred to as ‘skongers’, aim to suppress negativity while waiting for Team Cherry’s elusive update.

An entire elegy has been crafted to commemorate the banished, reflecting the users’ devotion to keeping their hopes alive.

“In subs beyond they speak your username with hope and bait… for none could tame our coping souls yet you silkposted anyway.”
(Translation: In forums beyond, they utter your username with hope and bait… None could tame our coping souls, yet you posted anyway.)

Members who volunteered for banishment wrote heartfelt farewells, emphasizing their intention to maintain optimism despite the silence from Team Cherry. The community remains engaged in fostering this sense of hope as they await the arrival of Hollow Knight: Silksong.

This initiative showcases a unique blend of humor, gaming culture, and community spirit within the Silksong Reddit page.
