game critics take payola and thats bad but its especially bad when bad websites i dont pay any attention to publish positive reviews of works by women because women bad

in theory critics being bribed or coerced into positive reviews is a good thing to be against, but in reality the campaign was coopted within about 2 minutes of coming into existence by right wing agenda pushers who think a pride flag cosmetic or a woman who doesn't solely exist to have rule 34 made of her means a game is leftist propanda or some insane nonsense like that.
