“I should have turned this podcast off when it started with “I know that review is in the title, but that’s just for SEO. We’ve only played like 10 hours of starfield.” Foolishly I didn’t because I was hoping for a new feminine take. Then I absolutely should have turned it off when they tried to justify having barely played the game because they have children. Like so do a majority of other people doing the same job, but they’re professionals that understand the job and don’t play the helpless woman card to get out of putting in the time.
Two of the three hosts stated they have less than 20 hours in previous Bethesda games, really cementing this as a cash grab after they spent the first 5 full minutes shilling their Patreon, begging for 5 star reviews, and talking about their sponsors. Like they were complaining about jump being the Y button as if they’ve never even touched a Bethesda game.
When women are finally starting to get traction in a business where people like Bobby kotick have ruled the roost since it’s inception, you have to go above and beyond as a woman. You shouldn’t have to, but the reality is that you have to blow your male competition out of the water to get half the respect that they do otherwise you’re going to reinforce the stereotypes that have kept women out of gaming. These women are miserably failing at that. They seem to just be trying to let their obnoxious, pick me, it girl personalities to carry them for the simps instead of actually putting in real effort and spending time crafting their opinions.
Do better.”
