I’m sure Klepek is on the case and will write an article about it soon.
I laughed.

Why even make the tweet in the first place if you're just going to back down? That's a lose-lose situation.
If you want to do it right then go the Bethesda route and put it in something that can't or won't be deleted. Otherwise just shut up and roll on.
I am in total agreement: commas are important.
I dare any of the whiny SJW kings at Waypoint/Kotaku/Polygon, etc to boycott coverage of this game now.
After battlefield 5 flops and doom eternal does better than expected watch marketing companies start mocking sjws rather than cater to them
Best thing for the developers to do is ignore the outrage although you have a 'game journalist' smugly tweeting 'Do Better.'
By the way, Austin Walker is a pompous buffoon. His 'do better' tweet really did make me want to swallow a Frisbee. Who the FUCK do these people think they are, patrolling the world wide web with their pointy little, jabby jabby fingers, screeching at anything they deem offensive. Fuck off you sanctimonious dildo and worry about your own behaviour.
where does Doom Eternal mock SJWs? why do you think companies give that much shit?After battlefield 5 flops and doom eternal does better than expected watch marketing companies start mocking sjws rather than cater to them
You mean those great non-reviews with stupid titles such as: 'How playing Cyberpunk 2077 made me realize that I never told my dad I forgive him for being an asshole to me'?I dare any of the whiny SJW kings at Waypoint/Kotaku/Polygon, etc to boycott coverage of this game now.
I’ll bet my house that they won’t.
Can’t give up all those clicks!
i hate the internet
Oh jesus (in Bill Burr voice). I was thinkin’ it, you were sayin’ it.Maybe Austin Walker should "Eat better"
Is there any confirmation of this? I expect the game to just be set in a cyberpunk setting, that's all. I'd be surprised if an Eastern European team that makes tweet jokes like this to tackle those topics.I think they're also hoping that the game is going to be some sort of transhumanist Shangri-La; a perfect Eden of gender neutral wonderment. I just hope the gameplay doesn't suck.
"Did you just assume X's gender" is a really dated, lowbrow joke. That and "attack helicopter" jokes aren't that funny to me, not because they're offensive, but because it's so tired by now.
This shit’s as funny now as it was in 2014.I sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter. Ever since I was a boy I dreamed of soaring over the oilfields dropping hot sticky loads on disgusting foreigners. People say to me that a person being a helicopter is Impossible and I'm fucking retarded but I don't care, I'm beautiful. I'm having a plastic surgeon install rotary blades, 30 mm cannons and AMG-114 Hellfire missiles on my body. From now on I want you guys to call me "Apache" and respect my right to kill from above and kill needlessly. If you can't accept me you're a heliphobe and need to check your vehicle privilege. Thank you for being so understanding.
I hope they keep their word of not buying this game because of this. There is no ill will in the joke...come on. Its just a bad and outdated joke.
21 bans, including several perms in the now-locked Resetera thread on this... Nearly all of which are for not being sufficiently outraged over the tweet!
Honestly, who would want to post on a place like that?

Leftist gaming 'journalist' makes rape and racist jokes - not a peep from the far left
Twitter account of a videogame makes a "did you just assume my gender" joke - outrage from the far left, possibly calling for firing in a few hours
I just remember the good old days, aka the 2000s, when people, even liberals, yes liberals, had a fucking sense of humor.
And yes, who could have imagined the 2000s would ever be a decade someone could be genuinely, unironically, 100% nostalgic for, oh the 2010s.
How the fuck is this horse shit allowed on this video game site? Super macho man posters trying to turn shit into some "left" and "liberal" political issue when they are the ones coming across more like pansies than the ones they're trying to attack. If you want to bring politics in this motherfucker please I'll be happy to talk about Trump and his pussy grabbing, limp dick whore-buying ways, and remember the good old days when conservatives didn't pray to their fake Jesus, holding themselves up as some moral authority all while defending their priests who molest children and hating when the same gender-neutral people CDPR made a lighthearted joke about got married.
Dishonorable.No one outside of trolling, they should really spell check their ban page to with the amount they hand out.
Dishonorable.
It's getting out of control. Humor will be dead if this trend keeps going.I'm what you would class as a "liberal" I guess. My politics are centre left. I'd just like to take this moment to apologise on behalf of the non-sad basement dwelling majority of us. This outrage culture has gone beyond pathetic.
