/uj Anyone unironically using the phrase “activating ovaries” needs to be punched in the face. I’ve played 8 or so hours of this game and it is in no way “pedo bait”. If you think that you’re self reporting.

If I remember it correctly it started with some people calling out a journalist for not disclosing that the game she reviewed was made by her partner.
Which snowballed into a bigger discussion about corruption in games journalism. While at the same time there was a movement to have more representation for women, lgbtq and people of color (sorry if this not the correct term) in gaming.
Some of the representative of that movement had never touched a game and criticised beloved classics. This gave the extremist an in to spread their hate. Which led to a vicious online rivalry between two camps. The progressive gamers and the gamers.
Tell me if I forgot something.
