While some of their language has changed, the sentiment of this latest aggressive movement is just as distressing. It’s time for the games industry to stand up to it

Did they also mistranslate the Chinese women commenting on trailers that the studio is gross and don't want women playing their game?

It's honestly tragic, if you read that article it's primarily about the Chinese game industry culture with one game and studio used as an example because it's a supposedly a AAA game to rival western studios.

We're being asked to believe ign has slandered a large Chinese studio, entirely made up, and kept the article up regardless. It just doesn't hold water. Harrassing some poor women off social media and writing long comments about everything being made up is easy, but ign are still standing by the article six months after it was published.
