When I watch a review I expect an unbiased opinion.


Ain't no such thing.

There are no objective game reviews.  Nobody on the planet can objectively review a game, it's just not possible.  Our tastes and preferences color our opinions and directly affect our enjoyment of a game.  What one person likes, another hates, even if their opinions are usually in agreement.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with pointing out a game's flaws, whether or not you believe they are flaws.  Many people believe a flaw of "Skyrim" is the combat, I do not see it as a flaw.  Many believe FFXII has a great story, but I don't like it.  What does or does not make a good game is entirely up to the person playing it.  And sometimes that person is a reviewer.  And what we get is their opinion, their inescapably biased opinion.

But in the male-dominated sub-culture of gaming, it would appear that feminine-biased opinons are utterly unacceptable.  I find that to be unacceptable.  It's fine to disagree, but this outcry is ridiculous and appalling.
