I (genuinely) don’t understand. What exactly was disrespectful?

Aside from microtransactions, releasing an unfinished product that broke on day one, and being overall low quality compared to the Team Silent games, they are essentially making fun of trauma and PTSD as a concept. Compare that to Silent Hill 2, which was very respectful in how it handled the concept of trauma and PTSD, and it becomes quite obvious.

The fact that this sticker exists: v2sdwgsi9lxb1 Should tell you enough.
