It's him, and please stop trying to force that politically correct bullshit down my throat. He is born as a biological male, just because he mutilated his reproductive organ doesnt make him a woman.

And if you find bad female characterisation and abuse of female characters non delsirabe, maybe you shouldnt play GTA? The series have always been that way , and to knock it down because of it would be unprofessional. ld be like knocking down Mario game because i dont like red suits and hats. This also explains why the reviews shouldnt be subjective.

And i already said i dont mind the score nor his opinion, and i never mentioned the specifc reasons he used to knock the game out , just that i know where they are coming from.

Yes, the game should be reviewed as whole. But if i review a game about strict driving physics and the game succeeds at having good physics and im knocking it down because i hate driving physics or prefer arcade style driving, then im being a douchebag. Reviewer should clarify if the game is playable and if it succeeds at doing what it aims to be, as well as the facts i mentioned before. Saying ''this game is/isn't fun, buy/don't buy it because i enjoyed/didn't enjoyed it'' is stupid

Same applies here. He reviewed a game where you can raid banks, steal cars, do drugs, vandalise the city, mass murder civilians, blow up buildings, pick up whores, torture NPCs and kill police and law enforcement, but being disrespectuf towards women is just WAAAY TOO FAR, right? 

She identifies herself as female, so I will call her as such due to respect/politeness, nothing to do with political correctness.

Also, I haven't even bought the game, I'm only defending someones review of a game. Subjective in a way to also appeal to users and highlight things some gamers might have an issue with, this includes female gamers and the games portrayal of women. Story/characterisation should be included in a review.

But the fact you keep saying a game review should be objective, well, here is my answer:

Just because he likes to think he's a female doesnt biologically make him a female.  I'll adress him by his real biological gender.

I am not attacking the review itself (like i said i have no problems with it) i just said the reasons he knocked it down was because of his own agenda and beliefs which shouldnt be the case, ever. 

Yes, story and characterisation shoould be included, but you gotta know its theme, context and where they're coming from. Maybe he should talk to some real gangbangers out there and see how much they respect women.
