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

So yeah, you have no idea how chuds use DEI in this context. Saying you're ”against DEI” means you're against non-white, non-cismale characters appearing in video games. It has nothing to do with job positions or anything like that, it's just about the treats.

It's thinly veiled bigotry, and ”DEI” is just the latest chud buzzword to hide behind. Previously it was ”woke”, ”SJW”, ”PC”, etc.
