As much as I get your point someone leaving a negative review because of (perceived) political elements in a game they don’t like is still a valid review
Leaving a negative review over people of color, women, women in power, homosexual relationships, etc. etc. is absolutely not a valid review. Stop normalizing bigotry.
That’s exactly what these companies and gaming journalists refer to as review bombing though. It’s just a way to stop consumers from using the one weapon we have

That’s literally the point, though. There are some easy steps to avoid it too.
Imo that’s not review bombing, that’s just reviewing. Review bombing should be used for unwarranted reviews, such as “muh wokeism” type shit.
I disagree. imo review bombing is more like a protest or boycott. a collective action that may or may not be justified
