In the burka thread, they are mad gaming siting want to actually say operating:

I have to say I get real tired of gaming sites - specifically, the ones that present themselves as progressive, feminist, etc. - paying maybe a tiny bit of lip service (if we're lucky) to the controversy around a game or developer that hates women and/or trans people and then just falling in line praising it after that. Like naw maybe I don't need you to put up another "you need to appreciate Black Myth Wukong's ambition!" article when the developer openly hates half the population? Aren't the newer generation of gaming coverage sites supposed to care about stuff like that?

I ask all this rhetorically since obviously I'm aware the money trumps all, but dang it if I wanted to read fawning praise about the output of misogynist studios I could go read the corporate propaganda gaming sites.

This reminded me of when Hogwarts Legacy launched, and a popular feminist, women-only website proceeded to review it, with only like a paragraph mentioning the rabid transphobia surrounding its creator and that taints the whole franchise. When trans women expressed their discontent, it basically ended in a non-apology and a ton of people being blocked, and nothing really changed.

Similar thing happening with the new Hogwash thing that's maybe happening and some LGBTQ site (was it pinknews?) being like "which trans actor do we want to see in it".

Yeah it's Pinknews.

Looks like PinkNews is already Chud Central

I always knew there was something sus about them!!
