Concord is Sony's biggest failure in gaming history.

Many years ago, there was a problem with a loud minority on the left seeking to find things racism everywhere they look, but these days, there is definitely a similar problem on other side of the aisle shouting WOKE at everything they see. It's hilarious. 

"Many years ago"?  Is that shorthand for "right now"?  Because posts blaming the death of Concord on racism and sexism are all over the internet.  This one from the Steam forums, for example:

Racist bigotry won again.

Are you happy? Are you satisfied? Does your day feel that little bit better knowing a great developer comprised of hard-working folks is going to likely be shut down over this? All because you can't whack off to 'ugly' character designs and cry about 'woke' games all the time. Get the memo: this game wasn't for you in the first place. Now a decent shooter with fresh ideas in a boring F2P market is going to DIE, does that make you happy? You are what's wrong with this industry and because of you Sony might see this and think PC isn't worth investing their money in for future games. Hope you're satisfied.

Edit:
Well congratulations, the game is shutting down completely. Hope you miserable gamers are happy.

I especially like the "this game wasn't for you" line.

Seriously, I have no idea how you're seeing one side but not the other.  The same thing has happened with every other failed game/movie/whatever that was purposefully focused on female or non-white characters, no matter how bad it actually was.  NO ONE cared about Madame Web, for example, but some people were making it out to be victim of racism and misogyny after it bombed. 

The only real difference is that the right seems to do their propaganda work mainly through Youtube while the left has a lot more scope with "journalists" and social media, plus their outright control of Hollywood and many game development studios.  It's all about being as misleading as possible without constantly lying.

WTF, is the need to use video game characters as arousal material for masturbation some kind of essential feature for commercial success now? Weird.
