Using Joja is okay

I recently watched one of my favorite YouTubers use mods to play their first play through. Their comments were immediately flooded with people telling them that they’re cheating and they shouldn’t even play the game. I don’t understand why people can’t just play how they want. Whether it’s the joja route, perfection waivers, buying the walnuts or mods. The creator has literally said he doesn’t mind the mods. And the perfection waivers were added for a reason. For the most part the stardew community is pretty peaceful but the second someone wants to play differently I always see comments telling them to just not even play. I felt really bad for these YouTubers people were just nasty to them for no reason.
