      They latched on to it because it’s total dogshit.

      It’s a Sony title that didn’t crack 700 concurrent players on its first day.

      Now there’s two possible reasons for this, one is that it’s a shitty looking generic paid pvp hero game. There’s literally half a dozen better free options with already existing communities and player bases.

      The other possibility is that it’s because there’s characters in it that aren’t straight white males.

      It would be like saying that the reason Steven Segal movies aren’t popular is because it stars a straight white guy and not because it’s a dogshit product by a dogshit person that looks worse than half a dozen free readily available options.

      It’s because it’s shit and an easy target as a result.

      Anything that’s bad is because of le woke. They ignore it in anything good.
