First of all, lets get one thing out of the clear: I'm not some nazi that hates LGBTs, and I don't hate women either. They are mostly harmless people, just like everyone on this planet. I don't give them special attention, and I expect them to not give me any special attention. If they want privilege, they better earn it like everyone does.
Now on to the topic at hand; Carolyn's comments in "The Bad section" of her GTAV review, "profoundly misogynistic", is just dripping with double standards and hypocrisy. It couldn't be more obvious that it was pure click-bait, to get some cheap hits on her article. The GTA series has always been about parodying the 21st century; crazy women, strippers, black people acting black, capitalism, police brutality, fat americans, etc. It has it all. So why single out only the stuff to do with females? And why just this game?
Isn't it discriminatory against men to make Trevor a psychotic redneck? And everyone calls Franklin a **** [you know what word I mean] and his character is that of a very stereotypical black person as portrayed in media? According to Carolyn's logic, the above is true, but she doesn't go over it, because nope, it doesn't concern HER idea of what feminism is.
This behaviour has been going on for a long time. Danny's "what's the point" is always great, Feedbackula is funny and Cam's science shows are very interesting, but Carolyn's articles and reviews are pure click bait.
Carloyn either needs to start acting like a professional or leave her job. I have always found gamespot's standards to be of a high standard in the world of gaming journalism. It's always been my go-to source of information on games and videogame industry, but the website's integrity is being damaged by Carolyn.
