I don't know if we can discuss Giantbomb related stuff here, since they moved to that other forum with a lot of other people, but I am really want to to talk about this and none of my friends listen to Giantbomb Cast here in Brazil, unfortunately, so I decided to open this thread here.
For those who don't know, every year they put out a GOTY podcast that is really good, mostly because the listeners can follow the whole decision making process for a lot of categories (that they change every year) because they record the discussion for each category.
Iirc, Abby joined the crew soon after they doing one of these, and participated in two or three editions.
Last year, she was the one who was pushing some really weird games that no one else played for the entire process.
In some cases, it seemed like she wanted to push some "progressive agenda", for the lack of a better term. The main example being Dream Daddy, who got really high on their list.
Now, I am listening to day two of this year's deliberations and the appalling arguments that she uses do criticize the latest God of War.
Things like "I don't like the women representation on that game" or " this is a backwards trope" really pissed me off as I was listening mainly because of two reasons:
1) I really don't understand why this matters to the subject and
2) None of the guys at the crew reacts to this unreasonable identity politics mentality.
I mean... Everything she likes or dislikes has something to do with some organized political group.
What do you think about this and what should they do to avoid this annoying thing?
