For those of you who have spent the past week wondering why Jezebel has not yet published a review of the long-awaited PC/console game No Man’s Sky, allow us to explain ourselves: we find the name of this “first person space travel” game to be distasteful, offensive, and shamelessly anti-feminist.

Jezebel will not be reviewing—or even playing—No Man’s Sky. In a game that claims to take place inside “an infinite procedurally generated galaxy,” there should be more than enough room for equality.

This is absolutely outrageous and worthy of scorn. Jezebel, the unabashed leader in feminism, hired a WHITE MALE to write for them?!
 
We wont review the legend of zelda because the title suggests that women are fictional and fantistical
 
So, just to be clear they are angry because it's called "No Man's Sky" and not "No Person's Sky"?

That is weapons grade stupid.

I know a lot of SJWs like to redefine words because dictionaries are a tool of the patriarchy. Because it's not as though we have to agree on definitions or else the whole construct of language as a way to communicate concepts to one another comes tumbling down or anything. However, "man" can be and is used as a gender neutral synonym for humanity. And, as someone said earlier in this thread, it's a clear reference to the concept of "no man's land."

You could actually spend the same amount of willful ignorance of the English language and interpret "No Man's Sky" into a sky that belongs exclusively to women.

Anyway, it's not as though Jezebel readers were actually going to buy any videogame based on a Jezebel review. It'd be like deciding on which shotgun to buy based on an article in Cosmo.
 
Who cares? Jezebel is trying to get some readers by drumming up non-existent controversy. What else is new?

I've read some good articles on that site, but the vast majority of it is just sensationalist clickbait. It's not even pandering to their readers, it's knowingly trolling their detractors also. Case and point OP made this thread.
 
If they're going the way of Gawker, soon they won't be reviewing anything.
 
"Man," for most of English -- and, in a way, Indo-European -- history, had no grammatical connection to gender. Which is why it's used to refer to all human beings to this day because IT ONLY HAS ONE SYLLABLE, YA CUCKMUNCHER.

It has ties all the way back to the PIE root "men," meaning "to think." You've never heard of such a thing, I know. No wonder it's so easy for you to write these articles.
 
obviously the game should have been called NO DIRTY CIS WHITE MALE SCUM'S SKY BUT AVAILABLE FOR ALL THE TRUE POC WIMMIN TRANS ASEXUALDEMIDRAGONS!!!!!11!!!1!

Clickbait detected.

I am tempted to leave a comment to this effect but that's kinda what they want. Rather, let's just ignore this waste of bytes that is their page saying as much.

This is reminiscent of the PC spergs of the 1990s saying that manholes into sewers should be renamed access hatches.

The rule to detect bullshit and euphemism is whether it adds syllables.
 
That was also around the time someone in elected office in California had a hissy when they found out computers with multiple hard drives have one set as "master" and the rest as "slave", they actually tried to introduce legislation to remove any such references, but it quietly died, probably because the whole IT department threatened to exact massive computer nerd revenge.

Nerds don't just get even, they get INVENTIVE as they do it.
