This whole shit was just a natural progression all game journalism's issues. Don't get me wrong, what was said is absolutely horrible and SHOULD not happen. But we don't live in a world where should is what happens.
We live in a shitty world. And in this world when you look down on other people, they're not going to listen to you. When you refuse to own up to your own faults, people are going to nitpick and blow any small issue out of proportion. When you call people shit, sexist, and worse than real life fucking terrorists, eventually someone's going to act like those things.
We had a chance for discussions. But when Ubisoft said they were focusing on graphics over inclusivity for Assassin's Creed, there was no discussion on whether that is a dated philosophy or the market still works that way. There was shit flinging. Same goes for Dragon's Crown, Femfreq, and MGSV. There were discussions to be had. But both sides just flung shit on each other.
And the side that is supposed to be for social change fucked up. Sure, the other side is shit. But we expect them to be that way. When you stoop to their level, always boasting how much better you are, you're just going to make things worse. They had a chance to do good and instead they fucked up. All they did was convince me the other side is actually worse. But in doing so, the SJWs of the world just proved to me how this supposed side for change and equality is more despicable than I could imagine either side being.
But you know what else? Pokken Tournament is being made. So everything's going to be okay.
