Tone deaf karens making our entertainment fit their agendas with generic versions of themselves; ie grouchy/edgy and unlikable instead of listening to their fans. What can possibly go wrong?

Like what does this even mean -

The main characters look like some stereotypical types that were made to fill some stupid checklist (like forced diversity), and don't feel like they are really part of a gang that's set to become the leaders of a city.

Goofy action seems almost there, but we'll have to wait and see what gameplay they can show us. I just hope the devs don't pull another bs deal with Epic though, because Saints in a fave series to me.

Also bring back Gat. If gat ain't in the story or is radically changed completely, then it isn't Saints Row.

Yeah, I've gotten to the point now where I pretty much disregard any form of media that has a main female character with the shaved side of the head, I can count the female characters with that hairstyle that I liked and were actually well written on maybe 3 fingers. 

Yeah, after reading what Hinch posted...yeah, I'm out. SR is pretty much dead to me if it's a studio run by Karens, nothing ever, and I mean ever good comes from Karens running any kind of business/show. 

All we need to do now is wait for enough fans to call them out on these "changes", and then watch as the karens of the studio flock to their local Twitter accounts and gnash at the teeth (because that's what always happens, and it's recently happened with Blizz as well, and even they have karens running their writing dept sadly). 

I hate that not only is the comic book industry being obliterated and run into the ground by karens, but seems like the games industry is being plagued with them too. Too bad the higher ups in almost any company that hires them are far too stupid to realise that this is how you lost trust and profit for the long-run. 

Also, yeah, there's been far, far too many shaved hairstyle gals last gen and this gen as well and it's honestly become a rather sad trope that helps identify the karen who designed them (rather poorly at that). I quite like the hairstyle, but I feel that it's being used on the wrong people and for stupid reasons (like trying to assert that said character is "rebellious" half the time).
