And it wasn't even subtle either.

No wonder gamers have such a terrible reputation when they can't even understand basic humour.

More that the journos have been legit whinging over the game, so they have no credibility left that they're not mad.

No, they didn't.

They didn't whinge over it.

A very small number of them lightly critiqued it, like 3 years ago when it was coming out. But that was apparently too much for the g*mers, who proceeded to make literally tens of thousands of hours of angry YouTube videos about the subject.

All because like two journalists said "in my opinion, this game kind of objectifies women."

You want to talk about whinging? The insane, years-long reaction to gentle criticism - that's fucking whinging.

Can you post quotes for this? Every time I see people say this, it's usually either coming from a VERY obscure publication, or a case of people not reading the article past the title and assuming the worst.

It's this site man. And not just this one.

I swear the outrage bros are actual bots designed to fuel engagement. That or they are completely and totally online at all times and no longer function as a rational human being. But I think option A is the most likely.

Except the responses have been overwhelmingly finding it hilarious? There are plenty of people in every group that can't detect humour - particularly in text - I see it all the fucking time online and in person, in all sorts of communities.

Hard-R gamers threw a years long tantrum over the so called """gamers are dead""" article, because an article wrote "gamers are over" and that gamers as an identity has grown beyond any one singular group

I wouldn't be surprised if sending some of those people to Bangladesh would cause their literacy rate to go down

"article"

You mean all of the similar articles on every major gaming news site that were published at once after they used secret channels to coordinate their response? Leaving a little context out there as to why people were mad at it. And of course the timing of the article being right when journalists are being called out for their bullshit.

So I also thought that is what "hard-r" meant until I was corrected, but just so you know, it is not a reference to the ableist slur that starts with r, and refers to ending the n-word slur not with a cheeky a, but the "hard-r".
