Lots of reviewers shitting on it saying "I don't hate it because it's political, I hate it because it's a bad game!"

Meanwhile all their top-voted comments are pushing DEI conspiracy theory and Great Replacement bullshit

FWIW I have no desire to play the game myself, but anyone who has a comments section full of that shit and doesn't think long and hard about what kind of audience they've cultivated is a Nazi in all but name
