MODERATORS
I hate the "review bombing" term.
It’s been diluted by improper use, not unlike “trolling” or “incel.”
What is the "proper use"?
It’s a set of criteria. Reviews are organized from outside the review site, are negative, and generally come from people without any real interest in the piece of media.
Thats what I thought. Essentially brigading right? Having a universally panned 'feature' in a game and receiving negative reviews should not have the negative connotation that review bombing brings
exactly. Their complaints are actually relevant to the game, not some unrelated ideology
