>What passes for "journalists" in this industry, accused-feminazis or no, ate that controversial bullshit up.
Of course they did. No one here denied that. The sites that bothered to report on it are no more in the right than the makers of that bloody torso, and this does include RPS. BTW, anyone on either side suggesting I'm supposed to find anything sexual about a woman's bloody torso is just being dumb.
But for the record, I ultimately don't care what -ist agenda these sites have or are suspected of having. And the Dead Island: Riptide nonsense itself isn't even the sole focus here (also, nobody even mentioned Tomb Raider).
Thing is, people have lost patience with this sort of blog post diarrhea where otherwise harmless games are used as some personal moral soapbox. Worse, when these clowns point sexist, misogynist, racist, homophobic, etc. fingers at anything without any logical thought, they're trivializing those actual issues and making themselves look like bigger shitheads in the process (not that this would stop them, ever).
Done for clicks or not, it's reaching hard for the thinnest straws possible made that much more obnoxious with Manufactured Outrage. That's just sensationalist tabloid bullshit, no matter what gaming news site it comes from.
Now, gaming sites and editors themselves are getting called out on this by growing numbers, and not just some cynical posters like in this thread. So they have no one else to blame but themselves as more people write them off entirely when one of their hypersensitive, clickbait posts claiming the next thing they should be offended by makes the rounds, only to get ridiculed. You reap what you sow.
