Its a really good game, but metacritic won't do the smart thing and just remove any review where the main complaint is "woke" "pronouns" or "DEI"

Good in what way? It looks pretty generic at best.

I think you can look at it 2 ways. I think this game is reviewbombed into a positive score, as well as it being review bombed downwards.

Is that really the smart thing?

I'm fairly confident that would be about as good for them as shooting themselves in the foot.

You have to realize what world you're living in. These people and their agreeing friends aren't just a loud minority, just yesterday they demonstrated something that really should have informed your worldview more than it seems to have, given what you suggest here. That kind of removal would be unpopular, a lot of people would drop Metacritic fast.

To an extent I agree with them, in that they ruined the tone of the game, but unlike these reviewers I personally think developers are allowed to make standalone slop. It doesn't ruin anything I've bought from them before.

Finally by all reasonable accounts it absolutely is a woke, pronoun-conscious, DEI focused game. Those words wouldn't even really be out of place if one showed up in a positive review.

You have to learn to think before you make yourself more unpopular.

Make a 6/10 game

Add a cutscene that shuns the act of throwing babies like a football

Claim all criticism is from the pro-throwing baby crowd
