Oh no! You can't talk about politics. When talking about the game. Who haves nothing do to with politics.
Good to know you like censorship.
If the same document forbade reviewers from talking about, say, white replacement (which I don't personally believe btw, just trying to hold up a mirror, here), I'm sure you wouldn't be crying censorship.
That’s a really stupid hypothetical because why would a Chinese company give the first shit about “white replacement”?
And the devil has enough advocates.
Why you need to talk about that stuff. If the game about is not about that stuff?
Why did they forbid talking about stuff that isn't about the game? Why do they need to talk about this stuff?
The game studio brought this up, not the reviewers. The reviewers are just pointing out that the devs are clearly woke obsessed piss babies that can't not talk about politics, even when it doesn't have anything to do with their game.
Forbidding people to talk about politics is inherently political, and therefore hypocritical.
Why do they feel the need to forbid that speech if it isn't related to the game. If the content of the game inspires people to discuss such issues then they should be allowed to discuss them. If it's extremely misogynistic, they should be allowed to point that out.
Because I am a believer in death of the author. That means that a developer doesn't get to decide what their game is or isn't about.
A dev could have put in a theme unintentionally. Does that mean you are not allowed to talk about it?
Why do they get to decide what a work of art means to me?
Good to know you like censorship.
