“which credibly and comprehensively lays out a history of sexism”. There was nothing credible about this.
The wukong sexism allegations were all made up or based on severly mistranslated Chinese statements, and they magically appeared after the company behind wukong had refused to pay SBI a 7m dollar extortion fee.
Did they also mistranslate the Chinese women commenting on trailers that the studio is gross and don’t want women playing their game?
It’s honestly tragic, if you read that article it’s primarily about the Chinese game industry culture with one game and studio used as an example because it’s a supposedly a AAA game to rival western studios.

We’re being asked to believe ign has slandered a large Chinese studio, entirely made up, and kept the article up regardless. It just doesn’t hold water. Harrassing some poor women off social media and writing long comments about everything being made up is easy, but ign are still standing by the article six months after it was published.
The entire article at this point is just “these women who want to be anonymous claim x and y”, with all other “evidence” gone now. I can make similar claims about IGN and my claims would hold as much water.
Shock of shocks, a company that refuses to work with a D&I consulting firm is soon found to have serious D&I problems.
Bro this is like saying there’s a conspiracy afoot because the cops “magically” showed up to arrest me just days after I shot someone in broad daylight, or that the tree “magically” only fell through your roof after you told the insurance salesman to fuck off, or that your house only flooded “magically” right after you told the plumbers you could handle the burst pipe yourself.
Except the flood was made up.
Tell that to all your rotted out walls and floor boards.
Because the insurance company callled their mob to break your pipes.
Yeah because Tony Soprano definitely has the time to come break your pipes specifically over not buying some dude’s flood insurance.
That definitely checks Occam’s razer. What is your salmonella from the pasteurization mafia now too?
Just drop it. It came out that the sexism allegations were false. It doesn’t matter what you say here, because the point is you’re wrong.
