It is fine, and I'me tired of pretending it's not

Personally, I prefer normal, as that's usually the easiest setting that still allows you to unlock perks/buffs, essentially making easy, practice mode, (outside of "pity mode"... No, not demeaning, I have at least one game that actually calls it that), but if you wanna play on easy for a little while, then go for it. Hell, there's leaderboards for challenges specifically done on easy difficulty.

Its fine to do it, that's why the difficulty level is there, just don't complain that games should be made easier, or that you should be able to skip game-play and just watch the cut scenes, or something like that.

That's the pov of someone who said they don't support the blm
