Heavy Far-Left Bias masquerading as objective Gaming Journalism

Let me just start by saying that I am neither left nor right-leaning politically and consider myself to be a true centrist which is a bit of a dying breed and quite unpopular in 2023 RPS used to be one of the greatest PC Gaming sites with a great cast of journalists who wrote witty edgy and sometimes even controversial takes on the PC gaming scene that many other journalists were afraid to discuss candidly However over the past 5-7 years what used to be an edgy and entertaining gaming site has quickly diverged into a political platform for pushing far-left ideology and an unhealthy obsession with political correctness and woke virtue signalling in many but not all of its articles I have no problem with RPS covering games that appeal to LBGTQ individuals that s totally fine and acceptable with freedom of speech However what I do have a problem with is when legitimate game reviews are transformed into clickbait articles which push a political narrative Refusing to review the Harry Potter game just because JK Rowling thinks that trans activism is potentially harmful to legitimate feminist concerns is a perfect example of silencing the other side in the interest of making a health debate between the left and right not even possible So refusing to review a game in the interest of wokeness and silencing of free speech is the exact type of cancel-culture BS that I nor anyone else wants from a website that should just be reviewing games If RPS wants to have a political slant I would much prefer if they featured op-eds and multiple viewpoints Instead of pushing only far-left journalism why not allow space for right-leaning and center-leaning columnists In fact this would allow for healthy debate and multiple viewpoints as opposed to the echo chamber which RPS and so many other journalistic sites have become
