There’s been a number of articles about it a while ago on videogame journalism websites

AFAIK they do still put out articles about it but I suppose it’s not as much of a hot topic today

I literally just learned about it last night. A lot of it is just obvious conspiracy bullshit though. As far as I’m aware it all centers around one consultation studio being responsible for every single “woke” thing in modern games.

It all started, when two Sweet Baby employees (Chris Kindred and Felix Kramer) started a mass flag campaign against a Steam curator page. The curator page tells people what games Sweet Baby worked on. By giving sources from Sweet Baby themselves and the developers they worked with. The curator page was made on the 29th of January. The two Sweet Baby employees tweets are from 29th of February. So the curator page was an thing for a month without harassment or problems. Before it got tweeted out. Basically all of this is a classic case of the Streisand Effect. If the Sweet Baby employees never made tweets about it. Safe bet, the curator page and group would have lost traction early and remained in obscurity.
One more thing, Chris Kindred wanted people to mass flag the Steam user’s account who made the curator page. What didn’t help things too.
Stellar Blade is the game you’re talking about. It’s about the double standards shown by Sony.
The Abby and Owen sex scene in The Last of Us Part 2 is okay, but an Eve wearing something skimpy is too far?
Why did Baldurs Gate 3 get applauded for selling itself on bear sex but a fully clothed anime girl’s butt is too far?
It’s all about the double standards.
