Yeah politics has gotten ridiculous, whether its Star Wars Outlaws being allegedly woke cos it has a female lead, or Stellar Blade being "misogynist/alt right" cos the main character is sexy, it's always some bullshit with almost every big release now. Some games do deserve it to be fair, but in most cases its just trolls looking for any excuse to dunk on something.

Not everything needs to be about team red vs team blue, but some people are so consumed by fanatical allegiance to their ideology that they see absolutely everything as a battleground where they must aggressively force their views on others. It sucks.

95% of hate campaigns in video games come from the right. Trying to both-sides the discussion is not really helpful. Even a game like Stellar Blade that got some pushback didn’t have any real sustained campaign against it. I didn’t see any review bombing, I don’t think the actress that played Eve got death threats and YouTube is not filled with ragebait videos about it.

If you think only the "other side" is the problem, you've drunk you're side's Kool-Aid and you're part of the problem.
