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.

This. I'm sick of this latest trend of politically correct oversensitive reviewers that are trying to push their own agendas on industry.

Of course, asking for her to be fired is just ridiculous, rest of the review is actually pretty decent.

I wouldn't go that far. For all I know, she is fully justified in addressing these subjects within the review, and I think that sort of criticism is subjective, but still valid.

However, her stated reasoning was amateurish, and demonstrates a lack of appropriate perspective that undermines her conclusions.

The end result is that she comes off as shallow, and fails to maturely address the issues. If she couldn't discuss the subject properly, she shouldn't have even brought it up.
