Another critical hit on the critics of the game world from Scrivonaut and Norayla on Splash Damage:

That's par for the course with woke doublethink. Woman writer that doesn't toe the line with nu-feminism? Internalized misogyny, they must be crushed. Black writer that doesn't go for the "white man bad, we wuz kangz" line? They're an Uncle Tom with internalized racism. Gay dude that doesn't make their characters all about "I'M GAY! I'M GAY! Did I mention I'M GAAAAAAAAAY!"? Internalized homophobia. It's the same pattern, on repeat, for any of their precious protected classes that don't meet their standards of performative wokeness, and par for the course to ostracize and eliminate the outliers that don't fit the narrative.
