It calculates that thing based on internet averages, so something awful probably just has 25 percent women instead of the average which probably is way less than that

The game owns but I don't understand Sega's picks as playable characters. Putting Segata Sanshiro should have been a given, at least as DLC. Instead we got some fat spergy gently caress whose claim to fame is a pile of Youtube videos or some poo poo.

IIRC Alexa datamines from some toolbar, so it's inherently only capable of comparative stuff.

It is probably because people started just using everything they didn't like and it watered down until it became more culture-war poo poo. It isn't like most of the people using it now actually give a poo poo about social issues anyway.

I've been seeing "Gamer" plastered on Coca Cola cans and bottles lately. Won't a multi-billion dollar company that (probably) invested a good amount of money on the gamer brand be pissed that a bunch of self important hipster faggots are now actively campaigning against it?

One can only hope that they poo poo on this so hard and loudly that the big boy moneymen get drawn in. 4chan's methodic complaints to advertisers isn't nearly as entertaining as inadvertently pissing in Coca Cola's cheerios.

I'm pretty sure in one of her other videos she called herself a slut and was mad at somebody because they were giving sluts a bad name. I'm pretty sure it's satire.

I don't mind social issues IRL. I just can't stand them if they're there in games as a replacement for actual gameplay or an excuse for poorly designed gameplay.
