@contentxcontext @megamatics @Alexrmf @azzathedon How they interpret that element would be of personal difference. It's not acceptable for a review because the reader can't possibly understand what is meant by that personal difference.
@azzathedon @Alexrmf @megamatics The reason is a Review is written for the reader and uses elements not individual to personal thought. She should of written an article where she could properly address her concerns with the game. This short little low hanging fruit way of spouting "That's Sexists" is not enough and a disservice to any reader.
@Alexrmf @megamatics @azzathedon We do get the usual Jim Quisition where he tries to use the Radical Feminist thinking (Gets picked apart in the comments section so he doesn't respond). He did do a Review on some biker game that sucked and tried to sneak in the M word which got ripped apart.
Gamespot should honestly clean up the political angle with the reviews as it doesn't really inform the reader since it forces an outside element onto the games that isn't exclusive to on definition.
@azzathedon This site is Frequented by minors the level of immaturity shows how that could be true. If you go to a site like Destructoid where most of the readers are adults you can see that the language is more mature. It's why I find this even more disgusting that they're forcing political beliefs onto children.
@anvilone @WuKillaBee @alpha_unit97 Well when you don't properly address it on it's own rather then shoe horning it into topics to create a stir you are. I'm all for women in games and all that jazz, but when you start throwing out the M word like candy you hurt it's meaning.
@WTA2k5 @RVP_182 Politics aren't subjective data, they're debate topics and it is exactly why the stir in the comments happened. There are 2 sides to every debate and when you make the statement of misogyny, you are levying a heavy argument in that it means Hatred of women. It is the equivalent of calling someone racist ... If these topics are so note worthy then throwing it out at every instance only serves to diminish it's meaning. That's why calling to Misogyny in a Review seems so wrong, leave it to another article where you can address it properly because all you're doing is insulting the game designer and creating discourse with the community.
But Honestly, after GTA1,GTA2,GTA1 London Expansion, GTA3, GTA Vice City,GTA San Andreas, and all of GTA4. I don't see how it is justifiable at any score to downgrade for sexism. If it were an actually bad game and you gave it a 6/10 for sexism I would find it extremely difficult to judge how honest the review was because of the political bias inherent in the author. My issue isn't at all that it got a 9/10 or any score, it's with the implication that an element individual to the author holds any weight in a review. It would be like Drinking Lemonade or Sweet Tea and giving it a poor review because Diabetics can't drink it.
The simple answer to that is the product was simply not made for them.
