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.

As I answered to STAGE - I don't have a problem when reviewers are telling their readers/viewers if there's something in the game that some people might find offensive and not PC - what I have problem with is when they neg the game just for that reason, like she did (look under The Bad in Gamespot's review).

The way it was presented, those aren't justified, but that doesn't mean they couldn't be. Those kind of issues, could easily damage the player's engagement, making it a valid criticism.

I have no issue with those points being listed as negative, or even affecting the review score, as long as they are justified.
