I think it's a bad idea to equate "problematic in some way" with "bad". A game/book/movie can have problematic elements, but still have a good story, interesting characters, a good gameplay if it's a game etc. I think that it should be possible to criticize problematic elements in something, of course, but these probleamtic elements don't mean it's not good. Otherwise most literature from previous centuries would have to be considered terrible because it's sexist/homophobic/classist etc. by our modern standards.

That's true, and I agree that there does need to be a kind of balance between not dismissing a game because of it's 'problematic elements', and not dismissing criticism of social issues as not reflecting anything about a game's substance.

I guess I'm just used to fandom's kneejerk reaction where criticism = automatic hate.

Only this time I also forgot that the OP was mostly taking a potshot at fandom, which I can understand because I am all about terrible schadenfreude. But still, my bad.

ayrt

I get it, a lot of the time people think that you can't possibly criticize something without hating it. Personally I think this game and the books have a huge problem with sexism, and it's bad if the fandom ignores that (IDK, I'm not in the fandom). But I still think it's one of the best games of the last years, despite its issues. Definitely better than Dragon Age, much as I like it.
