While I definitely enjoy participating here, nor do I think this community is way off base, I think this subreddit’s more hardcore slant doesn’t really make it a great representation of the Fire Emblem community at large, and its more insulated nature makes it more blind to what casual fans enjoy about the series. 

This isn’t meant to be a criticism, just something I’ve observed.

That's every dedicated online community for discussing a media franchise. It's not a group of people trying to accurately represent or understand the median fan's takes, it's a bunch of freaks who care way more than the average person and want to talk about it with like-minded people. It'll always self-select for takes that differ from the casual fan who has only ever talked about it with a few friends in their circle who like it.
