Smart man! :)
But then again, I don't think there's anything to be discussed here, this sort of journalism exists for a long time, and is best to be ignored. Starting heated discussions over it ultimately only generates more hits for the site, influencing them to stir more crap. But if you pay them no mind and give them no hits, you win!

yeah I agree it has, but for video game reviews it seems to be receiving a resurgence.
It'll be interesting to see how they review the next dead or alive game, hell maybe even the witcher 3, in one you collected cards after sleeping with them, lol.
They'd give them a lower score while bringing up complaints unrelated to the overall quality of the game, causing a lot of anger from the Internet, which ultimately only results with more hits for the site, leaving them as the winner in the whole ordeal.
The thing is, even when this "political correctness" trend goes out of style, it'll just be replaced with something new, sadly, there'll always be an easy method of stiring controversy and provoking people over nothing. That's why I always stay away from "hot topics" like religion, politics, etc, on the Internet. It never ends well.
But the hot topics are always the most fun :P
It is probably best to ignore polygons sensationalistic journalism, The thing that pisses me off the most however is Gies defending his reviewers crediblitiy based solely on her being female, not on the body of her work.
That's truly sexism.
