🐱 Jezebel refuses to review No Man's Sky

http://jezebel.com/why-isnt-it-called-no-womans-sky-1785411230

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.

I'm pretty sure some of these posts coming out of Gawker/Jezebel the last few days are just trolling before they get shut down. I almost have a shred of respect for it.

They probably just got lazy and are using #Feminism to justify not writing an article

Jezebel isn't closing, and that writer (probably) isn't losing their job though.

In that context, man isn't even referring to a male person but humans in general. Like mankind.

So only men are human? REEEEEEEEEEE

I guess I won't go to Jezebel for video game reviews anymore? Lol

Places that implement such policies have lost all right to be called a University. Full stop.

How come it's not called womankind then, sexist?

How come it's not called womankind then, sexist?

Probably because if it was up to women there would still be arguing. Case in point.

So all the men agreed. Mankind, unanimous decision.

When did Jezebel become The Onion?

Funny thing, it's actually (along with the rest of Gawker Media) now owned by Univision, who you might know as The A.V. Club and The Onion.

As for the article, I'm sure this was one of those things that the writers shat out to fulfill some obligation before they were told that their website wasn't getting shut down, unfortunately.
