Out of everything, that bolded part pisses me off the most. While I've never listened to a giant bombcast, or read any articles on their site, or even have any idea of what they do. People who ummm, ahhh, and like all the time shouldn't be allowed to podcast.

Most journalists refuse to write about this because it's getting harder and harder to change the narrative in Zoe's favor because there's just so much poo poo against her.

True, but he's definitely right about the gaming journalism industry spending what nonsexist credibility they have
on defending the likes of ZQ.

I could be wrong, I remember that when Bioware said "WE WON'T BE DISCUSSING THE MASS EFFECT 3 ENDING AT PAX :mad:" that panel somehow ended up in roaring applause. I feel like gamers have only grown exponentially more disgruntled with basically the same people (if you believe that people got more pissed at the journos for how they covered it than Bioware for writing the lovely ending in the first place) since then, though.
