Outlier scores paint a target on a site's back. I know you all know this, but it's the simple answer to this very long conversation. Websites (and the vast majority of people at those sites, especially the ones at the top) are afraid of their audiences.
So we throw up our hands and just sacrifice good, thoughtful, challenging, provocative, diverse game reviews forever as an offering to the gods of gamer rage? I think that is also doing us a kind of long-term harm by validating the systems that keep us trapped.

i think reviews don't need review scores to be USEFUL, and tevis thompson's obsession with them ain't useful either. "i want a diversity of opinion", sure, but he specifically wants it in the scores, he doesn't care nearly as much about the actual writing, cuz he can't fire on it

sites ditching scores are doing more and more with less and less harassment dragging them down, cutting into their health, happiness, and their fucking income. i think the review score is the wrong battlefield to change shit, cuz it's fucking dead.
