I've been seeing a bunch of videos in my feed about how IGN is REFUSING to review the Lollipop Chainsaw remaster because they HATE Juliet Starling for being too SEXY

I got curious and tried to see if IGN had actually officially come out and declared they would not review Lollipop Chainsaw Repop because they had no problem reviewing the original in 2012. Nope, they had in fact been covering the remaster ever since it had been announced, though there is no review as of now at least.

All the other results in my Google search were predictably outrage slop videos and links to posts on the Asmongold visible-disgust and Critical Drinker kombucha-disgust subreddits. I clicked on one of the posts and among the hivemind of the most room temperature IQ chud redditors you can imagine abuzz about how horrible and woke IGN was being was one lone commenter asking if IGN had actually officially stated they would not review the game.

A guy responded that while it can't be proven IGN hasn't reviewed the game yet because they object to its content, it's probably the most likely reason morshupls

I fucking hate all of these people, the cynical right-wing agitators making up shit for views and the stupid gamer morons who lap it up because of vibes

It's everywhere. People getting weirdly obsessed over some form of consumption. It's also movie buffs, obscure music fans and record collectors, cosplay, trains, fucking Funko Pops...

And all of it boils down to people getting very angry over a product. It's not enough to enjoy the treats, everyone else must enjoy the treats YOUR way and you gotta have ALL the treats, the rarest treats, etc. to be the super special person. I swear this shit is messing up our brains the way lead messed with boomers...
