I have two things to say to this.

One, provided that the Gamespot staff has no problem with her review (and given that they posted it, I'd say that's pretty obvious), then this is work of the quality and content they find acceptable, which means to me that the people calling for her being fired don't really have a leg to stand on.

Two, that having been said, I find the review more than a little off-putting.

Basically, her criticism is that the game does not present an agenda. That the fact they present characters with differing viewpoints, without saying which one is morally superior, is "hypocrisy," "inconsistent," and "politically muddled." And that the fact the game presents an absurd exaggeration of mysogyny without trying to "underscore how insane and wrong" means it "celebrates sexism."

It's a narrow-minded and frustratingly agenda-driven criticism that, in my opinion should have been cut. I'm certainly not going to storm Gamespot with a petition, but this reviewer earns no brownie points either.



I believe in honesty, civility, generosity, practicality, and impartiality.
