But, why? I'm not defending their actions, but why do their actions have anything to do with you enjoying it?
I have never understood this. Heard it with Undertale, too. One can always just ignore the weirdos in the fanbase?
Heard someone drop Rick & Morty for that (not for the drop in quality). I assume you wouldn't want to discuss it with creeps, but the problematic media are popular enough that it should be easy to find sensible subgroups online.
If you're insecure about public or (shitty) friends' opinion, you might also not want the association. Which I'd say is a coward thought, but I hide playing some games too.
It truly is a mystery why I wouldn't want to play a game which was infamous for pedophiles immediately flocking toward. Indeed, why wouldn't anyone want to be associated with that?
99.9% of people aren't going to know you play it, and 99.99% of people aren't going to know about that association. You're really blowing it out of proportion, imho, but you do you.
