@saint311 Sadly, very few people wanted to be taken seriously at that point. GameSpot has served as an emotional outlet rather than a basis for intellectual discussion for a few years now.
@junglist101 Yeah, you bring up a good point. Anyone writing that sort of review would, in their right minds, expect this to happen. They brought it upon themselves.
@JediKnight366 @Sardinar I don't remember a time when people didn't go over the line when expressing displeasure on GameSpot, it's just that this time it goes into a sensitive social topic, yay!
@Archimedes777 @Sardinar Well, in my opinion, feminism is necessary when the equality of women is jeopardy, or when sexism is clearly implied by the offender.
Neither of those things were true, GTAV just didn't have any good female roles. That's a fault in the narrative, not a clear implication of sexism or discrimination against women. In this case, an acute feminist comment would be irritably redundant - especially when reviewing a video game.
