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

pronouns Everything must be generically cishet male-gaze horny at all times and nonpolitical us-foreign-policy to the point of it looking like the suburbs right outside the freeze-gamer 's window except with more swords or else DEI is literally destroying western civilization pronouns

Yeah but even when a game they should like gets released they're not fucking happy about it unless they can imagine a scenario where someone with they/them pronouns shakes their fist in impotent rage at the thought of these guys having fun

True; there's often videos about how this epic beacon of nonpolitical basedness is TRIGGERING FEMINISTS (insert that one picture here, you know the one) so-true
