People review bomb games that add or take away things that didn’t even affect gameplay in the slightest.
For Lunacid, there was an update that allowed you to choose your character’s pronouns when you started a game; this has literally nothing to do with how you play the game, how NPCs interact with you, or literally anything other than just some flavor text. If you go into the steam forums and read reviews for the game you’ll see so many idiots harping on and on about how the game “used to be” great until they added pronouns, and now it’s literally unplayable.
Yeah, this is basically any kind of media these days. It’s rampant on Rotten Tomatoes. To the point where I’ll watch a decent show, and as soon as I see someone who might be nonbinary, I know the user reviews on RT are going to be artificially low and filled with “would have been good if it didn’t have identity politics in it, 0 stars” reviews. And I’m right every time.
Because a nonbinary person simply existing is enough to ruin the experience for them. Fucking losers.
I haven’t seen reviews for that show Will Trent (my mom loves it, she’s watched it all), but I just know there will be plenty of arbitrary negative ones because of a certain character who constantly walks around with a tiny chihuahua.
