Yup, all of this, basically. Stellar Blade got a pass from most folks around here, this thing will get a pass, but empty sentiments will continue without fail.

Seeing people in this very thread bending over backwards to try and justify the memo sent to influencers or attempting to argue that it's being misinterpreted is just maddening. It's not like this is the first time shit from this studio has made its way out but folks determined to play this game and talk about it still feel the need to try and play devil's advocate so they can sleep better at night and tell themselves they're still good, ethical allies.

None of us are perfect in regards to the shit we consume and these days it can often feel like consuming and enjoying entertainment of any kind usually means having to be uncomfortably morally flexible in some way or another, but cases that are so clear cut like this shouldn't require this much discussion. This company is trash. They've made their stance clear. You buy this, play it, support it, that's where your moral barometer really lands, not wherever you think it lands based on some half-hearted platitudes you post on a video game forum

Would a "good, ethical ally" buy any video games? Or talk about them at all?

Why do they only apply this standard about the moral fibre of the creators to entertainment products?

Are they not concerned about the people who create their manpons, their children's cereal, their chicken tendies, their communications devices? 

Those people might have voted Republican once or even said biological men shouldn't box against biological women.

Why just entertainment?
