It's a Chinese game developer. These are the things they're sensitive to. COVID started in China and I guess feminist is a big fucking red flag for women in China?

Hehe, red flag, China...

The Black Myth: Wukong sexism controversy stems from employee reports that developers at Game Science have been making sexist comments for many years, and there’s a suggestion the company doesn’t want women playing its games.

I wonder if any of this has been corroborated. I feel more conflicted about this kind of stuff recently because for every one asshole saying awful shit there are hundreds of other people that poured years of their life into making a game like this.

They obviously know it's unacceptable because they don't want to be brought up on it. But rather than improved they're just going to ban discussion of it or at least try to it won't work of course. We're talking about it after all.
