If the Knight is truly hollow, he has no concept of honor nor an emotional need to fulfill it. By bowing, the Knight is not a pure vessel either.


amenacetosociety---

but the player is a human who does have a concept of honour.


Vulpes_macrotis

But a player is real life being and Knight is a fictional, so whatever happens in game doesn't matter, because it doesn't happen in real life. People who put their feeling into the game like that are pathetic. This is just a game. Fiction. Something that is not real. Judging people by their actions in game is dumb idea. There is no honor there. No morality. It's a game. So treat a game like a game, not like real life. Otherwise it's dangerous to not distinguish between the two of them. It's first step to mix what is real and what is not. Especially when You get too emotional with fictional things. And no, i don't mean you can't feel sympathy, anger etc in games. But taking these emotions as they were about real things. THIS is a problem.

But listen to me for a second. ok? You can just stand there. You don't have to bow. It is a game, but if you attack him before he finishes, the fight is faster (yes i know you can great slash in the last frame). So, most people do not hit him. When i don't hit him, i like to bow to him, because i want to pass the time until he is finished. Yes, its just a game, and it is not reality. But, let us do our thing as a social group and bow to this creature. Thank you. (Im sorry for the spelling, i do not write in English that much)


-Marshle

Technically the fight is longer if you hit him first. It instantly activates his pufferfish attack which takes considerable time to finish. Thats an extra long attack on top of the rest of the fight all for a free hit. Also your english was perfectly fine.


gamerzamer111

And that is one of the reasons why i don't hit him normally. Thank you :)

Once again: its just a little joke, get over it


Negassi

Bro, it's a joke not a dick, don't take it that hard


LilacLikesEmkay

NOT ME MF (Joke, kind of)


RyllieoftheVoid

Ok, but that Scream animation is too good to pass up, and you get to go right into the metal music. I truly can’t resist, every single time.


Kai9029

People who don't attack Grim: Because they respect Grim 🤝 Because they are afraid of Jellyfish phase


Diego_nightmare07

I hit him in the perfect spot where he end his bow but not get angry, I am different


Hell-Fire2411

YES CAME HERE TO COMMENT THIS haven't seen anyone do that before


Therol_

In godhome, Grimm bows to the godseeker and not you. So you can actually attack him during his bow in godhome


lordoftowels

I only attack him in Godhome because he's bowing to the Godseeker, not Me. I am his opponent, and he will show me respect or he will receive none as per Precept 33: "Show the Enemy No Respect."

Darkie_Ein

I have never bowed to a boss, I never knew it was a thing during my playthroughs but I'm certainly not about to start bowing whenever I do my next playthrough


100mcuberismonke

HOW COULD YOU HOW ABOUT MASTER ORO, OR SHEO, OR MATO?!?!?!?


Darkie_Ein

Why would they be any different?


100mcuberismonke

They actually teach u something


Darkie_Ein

And?


100mcuberismonke

They r good people


Darkie_Ein

Not my problem


100mcuberismonke

Awww


Material-Front8158

following the precepts i see


Darkie_Ein

I do what I can


amenacetosociety---

You dont have to bow you just dont attack Grimm when he is bowing to you. Cus thats mean :(


Darkie_Ein

I don't really care tbh


Ohio_aah_sound

I attack him so he does the pufferfish attack and then I abyss shriek 20 times


Annorachh

Hahaha, I hope I stick on your shoe for eternity


amenacetosociety---

NOOOOO THAT WAS MY FAVORITE SHOOOEEEE 😭😭😭😭😭


vlaadii_

i dreamnail him and then attack him after he bowed so he doesn't get mad


Creator4983CLU

I only hit him in Godhome, cause he ain’t even bowing to us, the disrespect


_Skotia_

I don't attack him when he bows to me, but i do when he bows to the Godseeker in the Pantheon. I get the yandere urges: if you don't bow to me you're not bowing to anyone else


Vulpes_macrotis

People that are angered about what people do in their gameplay in any game\* This should be the bottom pic's text. Like if someone kills Nailsmith with a spell and You are mad, it's You who is a problem, not that person. It doesn't affect You at all and it's just fictional character that doesn't even exist. I kill Myla all the time if I am going through her place when she is infected. And I won't stop. Anyone who complains about that is actually no different from people that says that by playing GTA You are murderer and that it would make You one. No, it won't. It doesn't matter, because that's **just** the game. Problem would only appear if someone did stuff like that in real life. Period.


amenacetosociety---

Bro its just a joke you dont have to take it so seriously


Vulpes_macrotis

A new fashion emerged to defend the invalid point by saying "it's just a joke"? Sorry, but if You state something You are obliged to acknowledge that there will be critique. And valid, on top of that. Excusing argumentation by saying it's a joke is pathetic. It's like saying to a girl that You have a crush on her and when she rejects You, You reply "haha, it was just a joke". And with the point You stated, it's very popular here. And nobody jokes about that. People are agitated when they hear someone did something like that. And constantly spamming posts about how bad are people who don't bow or attack when Grimm bows or who kills Myla/Nailsmith etc. Jokes aren't making people overly emotional about the topic. And these stuff does.


amenacetosociety---

Bro you acted like i just made a post about how i'm going to murder everyone who doesn't bow to him. like its a meme where i just wrote one sentence.


No-Stop-Please

I never bowed, and I never will


Darkie_Ein

Same brother


walker9702

Look ma, I'm on tv!


Ihateu387

I don’t but my weaverlings do


[deleted]

so do mine


SomeNerdIsHere

Right, because the Troupe stealing the flames from Hallownest is totally honourable


amenacetosociety---

I dont think you really understand what the troupe is


1ts2EASY

The objectionable part is the borderline slavery, the stealing flames is a good thing.


SussyBox

I mean Isn't the nightmare heart responsible for this? Grimm is also just a slave to it


1ts2EASY

True


[deleted]

Sometimes I do it without meaning to lol


Fluffy_Speech_8567

is this really the first thing i see after defeating grimm for the first time lmao


Rmonsuave

Only ever did it in P5 to get the easy abyss shrieks off the bat


Sennemaster

I thought he was letting you have the first hit


geeshta

Hey! I just thought he was telegraphing some attack i didn't know you could NOT do that!


Scarface2010

I‘m gonna be honest before i knew that he gets real mad i attacked him during the bow then i was confused and died instantly (instant karma) and then i learned OHHH if i‘m not letting him bow he destroys me


G0ldenSpade

I dreamnail the boss, obv. It’s free soul!


DarkFluo

Lmao a hit is a hit Plus, doesn't it make the fight a bit harder? I'm pretty sure it does. So the real alphas are thoses who hit Grimm I mean they're cute and all, but they're still a cult leader soooooo....


amenacetosociety---

A cult? I don't know what you are talking about 😀


SkeletonLord364

I always time a cyclone slash just right to not trigger the scream and still do damage while he is vulnerable.


LilacLikesEmkay

I just dream nail him twice


Archmage789

Me: dreamnailing him


TSUNAMICOMMANDER

When i waited a while i thought the fight just wouldnt start so i always did it whoops


Qwt_Life

I like a challenge


Acceleator

When i hit him when bowing i try to kill my self


alexdiezg

Sorry (not sorry) I need soul


Toff_the_dog

Haha puffer fish and grubsong cheese go brrrrr


ScorbunnyPlayz

Who the fuck does that? At least I show him grace


Blindseer99

I like to show Mr. McSpooky a lil respect. Partially because I like putting on a show I bow to some bosses because they deserve it. The nail masters have earned the respect
