I really don't know why you are saying. I felt attacked when I clearly haven't said that anywhere.
Why do you keep telling me how you stand on the biggots, I really don't give a shite. We all have the same opinion.
Your criticisms in this thread are no harsher than mine btw maybe read them. Particularly on narrative.
Haven't you got more important things to do than use my comments to repeatedly tell everyone how you stand with people calling out biggots. We all do, we just don't crave attention for it.
It did but a lot of legit criticisms got washed away because everyone who disliked the game got tarred with the same brush as those idiots.
It's not about my calling out bigotry, it's about you feeling "tarred with the same brush" apparently elsewhere to boot (any examples?). It's really not that hard to understand that your feelings are insignificant to the bigger picture, you didn't once mention the actual backlash history at all. Instead of provide him with an actual answer to the question, you start by never mentioning the reason the game was getting hate BEFORE release over months and months which was the main source of the backlash. The rest of your post was fine and I agree with most of it, but again, why did you actively cut out the actual main reason for the backlash?
So what I'll do to clarify is answer the question for you, without the need for pity:
Yeah I read about this and im still confused too. I did see something about Abby looking strong or muscly? But that might just be one part.
You may remember there was a leak right before release about the story, but what you may not know is that there were a number of leaks much earlier that were way more inaccurate. It started with the 'reveal' that the main enemies were an anti-lesbian church who you were supposed to wipe out as some statement about homosexuality - Agenda 1, then got worse when Abby was revealed (and people apparently hate muscles on women, they can't possibly have them!) and it turned into one big transgender loving game - Agenda 2. That's when the agenda talk start appearing and talks of boycotting the game and even downvoting on metacritic.
Then came the actual storyline leak, and it added on top people who disliked the sound of that who jumped in on the metacritic bombing too, however it was still heavily pushed by the idiot agenda crowd and since the game hadn't even been played yet, it became hard to differentiate without reading the leaks yourself.
After release people who aren't scumbags played the game and left their reviews as with any normal game, but because of the huge homo/transphobic backlash that had been going on for months, some people couldn't see past that and pushed back on the legit critics without much thought.
