don't want to make this another Deep Discourse thing, but discussion about criticism of TLOU2's violence from reviewers in the game industry led to a friend of mine pointing out that this is an industry conversation and it makes some sense for a huge game to be discussed. HOWEVER

DOOM ETERNAL. Also came out earlier this year, was massively acclaimed as far as I can tell. It's not my kind of game for purely non ideology reasons (too twitch based) but can anyone tell me: did anyone bring up the pervasiveness of violence in video games in those reviews?

Because DOOM ETERNAL is a sequel to a remake of THE ARCHETYPICAL violent game, the one that was blamed for Columbine. If there wasn't a similar level of conversation about its violence, I think I'm fairly justified in claiming a double standard

But. I didn't read reviews of it, so maybe there was that conversation and I just missed it

Replying to @BsideRare @BootlegGirl
Was there any gender discourse about how the human bad guy in Doom 2016 was a woman (who ends up literally becoming the Spider Mastermind)

And yet the ultimate "parent" of all the demons as a whole, the Icon of Sin, is male (because it's secretly the severed head of John Romero)
