Not The Bee Reports: Metacritic parent company Fandom said it is "currently evolving [its] processes and tools to introduce stricter moderation in the coming months," after user reviews criticized the video game "Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores" for its lesbian kiss dialogue option.
The game holds (at the time of writing) an 82/100 "generally favorable" Metascore based on 61 critics and a 4.2/10 "generally unfavorable" User Score based on 2,363 ratings.
This refers to when woke critics like something, but users don't (and vice versa), with woke critics being on the wrong side of the ratio, obviously.
"Towards the end of Burning Shores, there is the choice to make [relationship between protagonist Aloy and new character Seyka] a more romantic one, and players can select a dialogue option that will lead to Aloy and Seyka sharing a kiss," Eurogamer reports. "And it is this, for some reason, that several 'critics' over on Metacritic have taken umbrage with."
Yes, it really is the world's greatest mystery... Why would these gamer folks be upset about a lesbian kiss in their video game? Sounds like the executives who can't figure out why the Mario movie has been raking in record box office numbers with a non-woke movie.
