Yes. This article is one of them. There is no evidence of sexism. Just a bunch of mistranslated messages that once properly translated aren’t sexist at all. IGN has already been called out for this, and the tweets have been community noted.
IGN did actually make a non-apology along the lines of “well they should have just commented on the accusations”, but the studio has no obligation responding to accusation from a bunch of people of some dying medium. Ignoring them is no doubt the best thing the studio can do.
Other journalists have since also made stories covering this and know that the statements are false so they started using weasel wording such as “sexist remarks being attributed to” instead of “they said”. It is so obvious that they’re doing this on purpose to hurt the reputation of the studio.
I don’t get how you’re being downvoted for just stating facts.
It’s not like you’re making anything up without any actual evidence, and yet, people just want to hate anything with the words “sexist” or “DEI” because that means the party opposing them is automatically wrong.
It is unfortunately hard to convince someone once they’ve made up their mind.
But as long as people indifferent to the situation see my comment and get a fuller picture, I’m fine with it.
I tend to take a contrarian stance on a lot of things because if it turns out I’m wrong, people will correct me, and I learn something, so downvotes don’t bother me at all.
