Full headline that doesn't fit in the Dreamwidth subject field up there, with all the superfluous bits one could get from, y'know, simply reading the article: "As rage factories howl about Kay Vess' looks, Star Wars Outlaws lead says there's no point engaging with 'bad faith' criticism: 'No nuance and no possibility of real dialogue'"
Yeah... the email I sent to myself from my phone about this one was titled "Irredeemably Toxic Shithole," because this really is just the reeking dregs of GamerGate trying and failing to remain relevant in 2024. Just yet another instance of "durrrr ugly female main character no make muh peepee hard so me no buy durkadurrr" asshats whinging pointlessly, that's all. Dismissing and ignoring (and mocking) this shit really is the only appropriate response, because trying to actually engage with Irredeemably Toxic Shithole-types is beyond worthless and useless. They certainly aren't around for meaningful discourse, so why should anyone else be?
As for me, I initially wasn't the least bit interested in this new Star Wars Outlaws game, but after seeing an article describing it as "Red Dead Redemption in a galaxy far, far away" and also as "the least Ubisoft-feeling Ubisoft game I've played in ages" (which I'm about 99.9% sure was originally written as "the least Ubisoft-ass Ubisoft game I've played in ages" when I first saw it the other day, but they apparently changed that later, sadly), I've decided to, maybe, at the very least, put it on the "consider maybe looking into it in a few years when it's not $70 USD just for the base game and $130-ish for the 'full' game, and also when it is no longer infested with Denuvo, oh and also when they finally break down and put it on Steam, because I ain't buying shit through Uplay or Ubisoft Connect or whatever the fuck they're calling that piece of shit now" list. Huh, you know what? To me, that actually still sounds like a rather Ubisoft ass-Ubisoft game, after all.
